“Even a media organ like the one Pinch runs?”
Do you want a ministry of truth?
I think we are better off with “I disagree with everything you say but will defend your right to say it”.
Which is why the NYT has gone from reporting the news about politics to be actually involved IN politics.
This meeting is proof of that.
An unbiased reporter of news and facts would report ON the meeting, not be a part of it.
You’re missing the point.
The press has power enumerated in the bill of rights.
It’s not a matter of defending the right of someone to say something.
It’s about collusion.
