      Nicholas A. Christakis Retweeted NYTimes Communications

      Somewhere, I once read "I am the editor-in-chief, not the thought-policeman-in-chief." The opinions expressed by Senator Cotton were dangerous. I reject them. But to fire the editor who published a piece by a sitting US Senator, in a paper that aspires to be 'paper of record'?https://twitter.com/NYTimesPR/status/1269722985751027713 …

      The @nytimes announced today that James Bennet, Editorial Page Editor since May 2016, is resigning effective immediately. Katie Kingsbury, who joined The Times in 2017, has been named as acting Editorial Page Editor through the November election. https://bit.ly/3hdy9JE

      I don't think the NYT aspires to be a paper of record anymore. I'm not sure it's even possible now. The newspaper of record may have been an artifact of the print era, when newspapers wanted everyone in some region as a subscriber, and thus had to at least seem neutral.

          Now that newspapers get their revenue from online subscriptions, being neutral is not only unnecessary, but would harm them. Outrage is the biggest driver of clicks, and the things that outrage the left have no overlap with those that outrage the right.

          By switching to subscriptions, the former newspapers of record have essentially become newsletters for the like-minded. As far as I know they've all opted to move left, which was to be expected, since the reporters leaned that way even in the print era.

          Or maybe, just maybe, someone wasn't great at their job? Nah, must be an epoch defining moment instead.

          LOL. It definitely isn’t aspiring to be the paper of record.

          A piece by a senator advocating for using military force on your own citizens is newsworthy. It should have been reported on. In an op ed explaining why it should not be a valid opinion on a democracy. Not brought verbatim.
