All NYT op-eds get fact-checked. Only the permanent columnists seem to escape the requirement. https://twitter.com/davidklion/status/858423475991654400 …

BTW: My recent Politico piece calling for subscribers to be more active, and why fact-free punditry is a problem. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/04/28/what-the-press-still-doesnt-get-about-trump-215049 …pic.twitter.com/3Ndupa6qwt

Been saying this for a few years. The sooner the news media moves away from ad-financing, the better. But subscribers should demand better!

NYT does some of the best journalism, makes sense for subscribers to ask why they'd give a non-fact-checked column to an anti-science guy.

If you add million+ subscribers with the slogan "truth matters more than ever", you shld be worried if there's no backlash to this.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
