You could have made that point if they had not just purged the leadership of the opinion section because they dared to publish some republicans opinion piece. When even international press criticise what they did at NY Times it you know you have a problem.

The one guy that got purged admitted to not reading an article before approving it for publication. That person would've been fired under any normal circumstance with great fanfare.
Firstly, the leader of the opinion section resigned, and secondly, it wasn't because of a republican opinion piece - of which there have been hundreds, but because the editorial standards of the Op-Ed section repeatedly fell short of the standards they claimed.
