And I should add that I’ve tried to generate discussion about this topic in the other place—and about differences between Times, Post, and Journal more generally—but never could generate much interest.

I'll definitely weigh in later on it - I do need to get some work done. It's interesting to me, too. It's nice to be able to talk about journalism without the Holy Trinity insinuating that you must be jealous of journalists.

And I should further add: I don’t think the Times is necessarily partisan, but I do think its reporters and editors share the generally liberal viewpoints of its subscribers (some of which they believe to be objective “truths” rather than opinions) and that coverage often reflects that. I also think this will likely get worse as the Times relies more on subscription revenue and less on advertisers, and so panders more and more to readers.

It's not that different from a lot of the posters at the Big Board - or on Facebook, for that matter. None of these people realize that they are being partisan. They just have internalized their worldview to the point that they filter everything through that prism.

Freedom of speech for those I agree with. Just wait until RGB and Sotamayor try to parse some campaign finance case through that lens. |

Camping finance? Wow, I didn't realize there were serious Constitutional issues afoot with that!  |

On the other hand, I really enjoyed this recent article from the Journal. My guess is the Times would have framed this story to “blame” someone for “causing” this guy to rack up so much debt. The Journal, on the other hand, very soberly presents how it happened. There’s not always a single causal factor, and it’s not always some “evil” institution out to benefit itself at the expense of others. www.wsj.com/articles/mike-meru-has-1-million-in-student-loans-how-did-that-happen-1527252975 |

Every day, there seems to be a new "blame evil big business" story. |

I don’t like tariffs—and certainly don’t care for Trump—but: was the Times typically in the practice of giving breath-taking front-page coverage to comments submitted by companies in objection to regulatory decisions made during the Obama administration? Somehow I suspect the coverage might have been framed a little differently. www.nytimes.com/2018/06/29/business/automakers-tariffs-job-cuts.html |

The scarequotes in this headline seem like a bit much, considering it comes from a deposition in which the following exchange occurred. (Kudos to the Times for including a link to copy of deposition, at least.) nyti.ms/2OlfdKmQ: What is your job there? A: I’m the company’s Dioxin lawyer for lack of a better term. So I counsel the company on Dioxin matters on a global basis. |
