(My point here isn’t that she had a strong political lean—I don’t actually get that sense—but rather that she wants to write about a powerful person without actually talking about the reasons why he’s powerful and what he’s doing with that power. That’s not “punditry,” as she claims—it’s reality.)

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Is she taking criticism seriously? Or is she (1) studiously ignoring the point, which is that NYT repeatedly failed to investigate a major story; (2) condescending to readers; &/or (3) engaging in ad hominem attacks? It was either poor investigative journalism or a deliberate choice on NYT’s part
