The NYT and other media is very friendly to federal bureaucrats who complain about political interference.
If the WH was directing them to approve something against their judgment there would have been headlines on major news sites.
- jacobush 7y agoOk, if you feel things are still in such a good shape, great for you. At my distant vantage point, it seems it could be difficult to keep up with all the ways the WH (we do not speak its name) is or could be interfering with just about anything it has a tangential interest in. Also your reassurance hinges on that every federal bureaucrat would complain to media in every circumstance. From my experience of bureaucracies you have to pick your battles and resisting or leaking is not always in the cards if you want to keep your job or career prospects. ("Live and let live.")
