The world has changed since The New York Times was founded in the 1850s. It used to be that opinion sections and letters to the editor were great places to hear a diverse set of perspectives. Now the whole web is that. Journalists are straining their credibility when we most need the facts.

@manton do you think that the NYT is testing its influence on the Democratic Party by opposing Biden currently?

@diogocarmo I do. Maybe not intentionally, but the NYT has a huge reach and that power should not be used lightly.

@manton Agreed. I'm not sure Biden can win the election (or even govern) without the NYT. But if he does, it'll show that NYT has lost part of its influence.
