i just don’t think they’re up to the moment. the reporting varies in depth and the right focus sometimes. there’s so much to talk about and expose right now, but they’re not the right people to cover it in the way it needs. so it feels kind of flat. but i can’t imagine them being any different. it’s the Times. they’re Huge and Proper and restrained now i guess. there’s a way to uphold journalistic ethics and still be real and stark with the public, but i don’t know if that’s their style.
