     OMG! She had 12 children and was pregnant with twins? No wonder the child had an accident. Why would anyone choose to live in Texas? Or Florida?

    New editor at the NYT.

    The question now is whether Kahn can bring that spirit of thoughtful openness, in a meaningful way, to his new role — particularly when one of the world’s most influential news organizations is in need of serious soul-searching.

    Our very democracy is on the brink, and how the Times covers that existential threat is of extraordinary importance, especially as crucial elections approach this fall and in 2024. Will the paper’s coverage forthrightly identify the problems posed by a radicalized Republican Party that is increasingly dedicated to lies, bad-faith attacks and the destruction of democratic norms, or will it try to treat today’s politics as simply the result of bipartisan “polarization”? Will it try to cut the situation straight down the middle as if we were still in the old days — an era that no longer exists?
    …
    The Times has never fully acknowledged the warped, damaging and excessive coverage of the Hillary Clinton email “scandal”
