Journalists have been deliberately misunderstanding this since i started paying attention 25+ years ago, which is to say they understand perfectly well but they are liars
By situating the Times as nobly filling the space between the diametrically opposed wants of the “left” and the “right” and suggesting that all of these critiques are ideologically motivated and are equally valid (or invalid), this misses the point of much of the criticism of the paper’s coverage.
