1. Your challenge is believing it's all abt ideology.
#Science &#climatechange arent abt ideology/politics... -
... and this piece doesn't change that. Criticizing T & WH this week is a no brainer. No value added here.

Meh. Anyone that complains about Stephens but ignores that Paul Krugman is the biggest partisan hack in America is being Disingenuous.
-
The opposition to Stephens is about science denial not partisanship. Anyone trying to obscure the difference is being disingenuous.

Does he retract all his previous climate change disinformation? If not, NO.

Your lead in to this article shows you don't get it. It wasn't hiring him, it's his ignorance on climate change. It's not partisan.
-
It's entirely partisan to him, though. The NYT wants to attract Team Red, so they hired a cheerleader for certain Team Red talking points.
-
Jon thinks that when a hack sometimes says blue talking points, people will excuse their intellectual dishonesty elsewhere...
-
...because his entire mindset is that if you have both red and blue talking points, you're more "accurate" and "truthful" and "diverse"...

Especially because he has the gall to get preachy in defense of a decision that everyone involved knows is 100% marketing.
-
And to act like the ensuing total abdication of the Times' responsibilities is not only defensible but some sort of moral good.
