Not possible.

Not when there is no difference between the editorial pages and the supposed "news" stories.

The giant problem for the people at the NY Times, is that, for a very long time, they've been unable to distinguish between editorializing and reporting. There is no line between the two.

The NYTimes has always been liberal and will continue to be liberal.

That said, the current editor is on a campaign to make it look, as he said, “down the middle.”

I believe this is an effort to convince liberal readers that they’re getting balanced news. Why? Because Trump’s ascent caused nearly every liberal media outlet, including the Times, to reveal their liberal bias to their readers (along with everyone else.) That is, liberal readers were made acutely aware that they were getting biased reporting. Those who’d managed to delude themselves for years could no longer continue the delusion that they were reading unbiased accounts. They were told, in no uncertain terms, that they were getting their news from outlets that were out to get Trump. It’s hard to claim to be unbiased after that.

So now, in an effort to restore their liberal readers to their former deluded state, the current editor is making all sorts of moves and pronouncements in an effort to convince them that they are, that they remain, the “paper of record.”

Won’t work on us, but it will probably work on most of their regular readers, the liberals, that is.

Actually, liberalism would be a step up in integrity from where they are right now, which is unprincipled opposition to anything Trump.

i don’t see where it’s possible to be confused because NYT has no “news” stories, only editorials and editorials DISGUISED as “news” stories.
