I’m so confused Burt. You don’t want the establishment press to ask tough questions of the people in power, but you are also against the public shaming that can happen on platforms like Twitter? You’re kind of circling the plane without picking a landing zone here.

I'm making a comment on the imagined ethical superiority of these smug elitists who think they are fighters for the downtrodden when they are part of the problem. The stupidity of the herd is a different matter.
but you're right about not having a landing zone. We're gonna crash into a mountain and hope for the best!

I assume by subjects they mean the stories they cover, but I can't help thinking this is the Freudian slips of all Freudian slips.
No way that was a slip

That was a really good read.

I definitely came away thinking it wasn't McNeil that lost the newsroom but instead Dean Baquet and NY Times' management. 150 really smart professionals that are also really stupid.
I really benefited from the equally frank and intelligent professors I had in college.

Hate to say it, but it’s probably best to just stay the hell away from anyone high school aged rather than risk this happening to you
