I'm an NYT moderate, it's a big place with lots of "desks" and does tons of great work, but 95% of the national political team needs to be fired. Salt the earth, take 6-12 months to rebuild the practice from the ground up:

Next step imo will be devops pulling stuff in-house (or old school 0% managed co-lo):

The NYT should stop humiliating itself and fire Kevin Roose:

Lot of bagging on the NYT on here and they indeed helped normalized Trump but this is their top headlines now, they're not pulling punches:

Even after all the reporting I hadn't heard this:
