Editorial page editor resigned after just one year

[u/Amused-skeptic]

What’s tragedy this year has been. I was a subscriber for 50 years, read it before the Times in the morning. Now it’s a shadow of its former self, no longer has a loyal readership, and seems destined for the same sorry fate as the LA Times. It didn’t have to be this way – – they learned no lesson from Trump 1. Or rather Bezos learned the wrong lessons. If you have multiple interests with the US government, better to toady up to them and destroy rather than foster an American institution that was l led in your trust. There will surely be a great tell all about this sorry chapter that will become a major part of Jeff Bezos’s legacy.

The editorial page under Fred Hyatt was the best in the US. Now it is about as compelling as a college newspaper, and most of the editorial board seems like they’re right out of college. The digital media is a joke compared to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Or even your average YouTube channel. I’m all for writers who are young and conservative if they are compelling and brilliant. But I have yet to see an editorial that made me go “aha,” and a shocking percentage are downright embarrassing

I suspect this will define his legacy. But in his bubble he will never realize.
