Opinion is fine. The more opinions the better. But claiming some opinions are verboten or others must be accepted as fact rapidly destroys any historical reputation for a media organization. It’s gotten so bad that a the NYT apologized for letting a sitting US Senator (Tom Cotton)[1] publish an op-ed that diverged with the views of its subscribers. I might think that Senator Warren is an idiot, but I have no issue with her expressing her stupidity. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/business/new-york-times-o... |

I think The Times knows that their revenue comes from people "picking a side", not from people looking for unbiased news. That's because it's easier to cultivate a fanbase than it is to hope that there is interesting news. Most days are boring -- you only get a blockbuster exclusive story once a decade.
