I waver on this topic, but I appreciate your point that we can’t just wish for the Times to go away.

The Times is some of our best journalism and the paper of record.

But they have GOT to fix their politics coverage and their headlines. They are helping this president and the GOP.

Because the times is thought to be liberal, their criticism of democrats has a huge effect. Their negative-towards Dems-coverage - of Benghazi, emails, Clinton Cash, and denying ties between Trump and Russia - did more than perhaps any media outlet to get Trump elected. That needs to be fixed.

(Note that on all four of those topics, the Times was manipulated by the right into criticizing Dems falsely. Ultimately THAT is the big problem- they must stop allowing right wing disingenuous propaganda to exploit and abuse them.)
