    Crazy.

    Is the insanity all on the editorial side of the house, or is the news arm infected with all this too? I know they're supposed to be quite separate organizationally.

      Well, the NYT is probably lost forever. Beyond redemption.

      Do you still pay for a subscription?

      They may be beyond redemption, but it would be a mistake to consider them abnormal or wacky. They are populist American culture.

      @Horace The insane thing is that culture is becoming a proxy for politics. (It's not that far upstream anymore)

      I have to believe this is a new phenomena... that is peoples' politics being a super important part of their identity.

      Politics identity instead of mere identity politics.

        People who hate Trump have giddily pushed things in that direction, unfortunately. Many tests of character have been failed drastically as people internally decide how to deal with their visceral revulsion to that particular politician.

          Great post, Horace: One of those types of posts you often make where I need to read it a couple of times, and then I get it. You have a unique ability to interpret what's going on at a higher level.

            Read the thread.

            NYT: "Our membership is committed to restructuring our workplace to eliminate inequity and discrimination so that we can do our best journalism."

            And the connection would be?

              Thanks Rainman. I appreciate your thoughtful compliment, and I look forward to your forthcoming thoughtful insult.

                  But that post was from Xenon.

                      What's the difference?

                      They both look like green circles.

                        For TNCR to eliminate inequity and discrimination so that we can do our best posting and opinionating, we must have a strong presence of green circles containing X's or H's. We are fortunate to have both. 😑
