Oh the circumlocutions of woke centrists...
NYT's slant is currently ammo for "class reductionists"[1], but if they were to enage in some of the dirtbag left stuff of the sort that Putin likes to sponsor, they could make the MSNBC Moms uncomfortable from both sides of the political spectrum (!), and antipodal-ly restore some bipartisan credibility.

The article puts James Bennet in a kinda good light, but that is wrong as the Opinion section is trash trolling of boomers and he made it worse.
It would be bad business sense in the short term, but they should admit that "columns" from the same people until they are long past being out of ideas are superfluous in the internet age, and keep the opinionated stuff to the magazine long-form investigative piece (like the magazine).
Basically keep the emotions at a minimum by maintaining an attention-span-requiring vs outrage-unleashing trade-off.
- selimthegrim 6y agoWait Putin sponsors Chapo Trap House? Does that mean I can’t play Disco Elysium guilt-free anymore?
- Ericson2314 6y agoNo Putin doesn't. But much of the facebook astroturfing was vaguely similar. Just cause it's agitprop doesn't mean it's wrong :D.
