The limits of consistency
The editorial board of the New York Times has started a blog. Its maiden post criticizes Senator Feinstein for her committee vote in favor of the nomination of Leslie Southwick to the Fifth Circuit. As Ed Whelan demonstrates, "the Board has demonstrated in its inaugural post the same combination of mendacity, obtuseness, and bias (though it’s sometimes difficult to parse the contributions of each) that mark the Times’s house editorials."
UPDATE: Morgan Stanley reportedly sold its entire 7.3 stake in the New York Times today. The news sent the stock to a ten-year low price. Its value has declined 24 percent this year.
Even starting a blog isn't likely to turn things around at the Times.
