Pretty sad considering everyone in America could already tell that media has become so one sided, they are no longer relevant or matter.
Obvious lesson, is that left has not learned the lesson at all, just simply more bitter:

“But the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned,” Weiss wrote. “Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.”

“As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history,” she wrote. “Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.”

The rules
“Rule One: Speak your mind at your own peril. Rule Two: Never risk commissioning a story that goes against the narrative. Rule Three: Never believe an editor or publisher who urges you to go against the grain. Eventually, the publisher will cave to the mob, the editor will get fired or reassigned, and you’ll be hung out to dry,” she wrote.

Maggie Haberman, White House correspondent for the New York Times just tweeted this:

The president asserts that “more” White people are killed by police than Black people https://t.co/m27Bc6Oda6— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) July 14, 2020


Maybe it was just bad phrasing on her part, but it sure sounds intentional.
