Far, Far Too Early To Conclude This...
or, #Parity Please, good sirs?

They are totally in the tank for the Dems at the NYT.
It's all activism journalism now, puzzles and games under Brown educated
Good for profits; bad for our nation that used to rely on neutral reporting... Que Sera.

* This is my favorite advocacy hire of his thus far:
"Stephens said that one of the reasons he left The Wall Street Journal for The Jerusalem Post was that he believed that Western media was getting Israel's story wrong.[17] "I do not think Israel is the aggressor here", he said. "Insofar as getting the story right helps Israel, I guess you could say I'm trying to help Israel."
even more biased than journOlist Ezra Klein and his hand picked crew are
...
Klein is Jewish and was raised in California. Klein attended University High School, where he was a poor student and graduated in 2002 with a 2.2 GPA. Klein attended the University of California, Santa Cruz for two years before transferring to the University of California, Los Angeles, from which he graduated in 2005 with a BA in political science.
While at UCSC, he applied to write for City on a Hill Press but was rejected. He said school was never a great fit for him academically or socially...
In February 2007, Klein created a Google Groups forum called "JournoList" for discussing politics and the news media. The forum's membership was controlled by Klein and limited to "several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics"
"Again and again, we discovered members of Journolist working to coordinate talking points on behalf of Democratic politicians, principally Barack Obama. That is not journalism, and those who engage in it are not journalists. They should stop pretending to be. The news organizations they work for should stop pretending, too. ... I've been in journalism my entire adult life, and have often defended it against fellow conservatives who claim the news business is fundamentally corrupt. It's harder to make that defense now. It will be easier when honest (and, yes, liberal) journalists denounce what happened on Journolist as wrong." Tucker Carlson.
Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, discussed JournoList saying, "... hundreds of journalists have gotten together, on an online listserv called JournoList, to promote liberalism and liberal politicians at the expense of traditional journalism."
Not very diverse, these guys, to be honest... (coincidentally, I am sure.)
There's lots of demographics these young wunderkins have in common, privileged ones even, as they "individually" (and on their own skilled trades merits I am sure... /s) scaled the heights of their profession, writing the new rules in this digital age, making money all the way, but leaving the news in this country only half reported really, as they continue to divide up Americans with their own half truths...
