You believe the right wing op ed writers at the times could ever get fired for their opinions? Bari Weiss was making mid 6 figures posting trash on the NYT before she accused her employer of discrimination to jump start coverage of her new substack.

Everyone is biased, it's how the brain operates. Some biases try to reflect reality while others try to manipulate people to believe propaganda. The Times is perfectly fine employing propagandists.

Op Ed is the opposite of journalism, I was talking about journalists.

Op Ed writers literally write opinion pieces. That’s not journalism.
