Shareholders and journalism do not mix. All this prevarication on the part of the Times stems directly from wanting to goose numbers sted committing journalism. And goosing is a time-honoured first step.
And the hilarious thing is that if Trump does win, I can pretty much guarantee that the New York Times and its editors will be one of the first ones to suffer. I cannot possibly imagine a universe where once project 2025 knocks out all the guardrails that would prevent him from committing all-out assault legal and otherwise on anyone who’s ever displeased him over the years, he’ll arrive at the NYT and pause. “You know what? They actually had some pretty positive coverage during the election. I think I’ll reserve an honored place for them in the new permissible-media landscape I’m architecting.”
It’s abundantly clear that we are not going to learn from history.
The really fucking ironic point is bin Laden’s stated goal was to destabilize the U.S., and boy, howdy. No need to enumerate the problems stemming from that.

One might even call it “goose-stepping”.
