This reeks of a coward’s way out. NYT has historically endorsed Democrats, but what little money is left in legacy media is in right-wing culture war B.S. That’s why NYT has been making some atrocious editorial decisions recently, and it’s probably why they’re not putting their necks out to endorse candidates who are better-suited to office than Republican lunatics.

  The NYT has managed to be wildly profitable, even as most local news has folded.

    The NYT is now a games and recipe company that happens to have a side business of news. It makes money because it has largely abandoned news.
