Why did the NYT hire him? Is it so that they maintain some "balance" in their opinion pieces?

  Yes, he's their token conservative.. intellectual diversity and all.

    He's more of a milquetoast Republican than a Conservative.

      Yes, Ross Douthat is their token conservative.

      The reverse Alan Colmes of print media...

        I think Alan Colmes is just there to argue with the host or the other guests of whatever show they allow him on. It's like he doesn't even have a setting besides "disagree".
