      1. Hostile leaks, internal strifes, quick hirings and firings, a general sense of chaos. The Trump White House? Sure, but also New York Times editorial section under James Bennet.

      2. Bennet's op-ed section has been lightening rod of controversy. As he presents it, he's promoting diversity of opinion against hidebound liberals. Is that the reality?

      3. In truth, problem with Times op ed is that it's offering faux diversity -- the same old elite consensus -- even as American politics fractures. More here:https://newrepublic.com/article/147240/myth-times-intellectual-diversity …

      4. As an addendum I'll say that the best Times columnists (to my mind @DouthatNYT & @michelleinbklyn) are the ones who stray farthest from centrist consensus.

          I’d like to understand your appreciation of Douthat. I find his columns trite & void of any empirical foundation. Maybe I have blinders on.

          I think the basic problem is that the really very dire threats posed by Trump are still mostly abstractions to well-off white people, and what would make the paper come alive is to hear more from people who are actually affected by changes in policy/enforcement.

          Those 2 are insufferable. Michelle particularly, whose 180 on Al Franken should have gotten her banned from Op-Ed columns. I expect Ross to Trojan Horse some neo-con wet dream every time. He doesn't even bother to hide it anymore. Krugman is the only one worth reading.

          Douthat was garbage when he was still a no name blogger and garbage now. Click bait is fine but Christ, you can't take the mickey like this

          Okay in what world is Krugman (who I have a done of problems with) not a better and more important writer than Douthat?

          How does pushing for the banning of porn qualify one as "the best"?

          And "best" doesn't mean much. Douthat is a terrible thinker.
