I find it hard to convey my contempt for this. (And I am not normally into contempt.) All smugness, no actual argument.

I like Bouie a great deal. I like Krugman (sometimes his politics takes are bad, but I like him and otherwise respect him greatly). Probably others!
But Bouie is not on the editorial board (and lives 300+ miles from its meetings). I don't know if Krugman is on the editorial board, but doubt it.
People forget that one of the strategies of the New York Times is to keep just enough good people and do just enough good journalism to maintain their devoted loving loyal liberal readership so that it is to precisely those people to whom they push the right wing sh*t which is their functional task.
I very much appreciate the degree to which people are finally waking up to this game and rejecting it. That doesn't mean the NYT's game has changed, just that not all the rubes are still buying it.
