The Grey Lady

Two interesting takes on the NY Times.

The first is a parody on the fact that the Times - in a never ending quest for Both Sides - insists on hiring truly risible hacks for their op-ed page.

The second is a more nuanced take from Martin Longman about where the Times fits into our media ecosystem.  Yes, the Times did a truly horrific job in the run-up to two of the biggest disasters of the 21st century: the Iraq War and the 2016 election.  But it's reporting can still remain top-notch.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be reading the Post instead.
