15. NYT echoed right-wing talking points on Hillary. That makes them effectively right wing

The right - and give them credit for good PR - has totally manipulated our media. They have cowed the NYT into pushing right wing talking points. The kids from Parkland are not influenced by the GOP lie machine. They expose the true center. Sadly, the NYT on many issues is to the right of that center.

(Short summary of NYT: some op-ed columns left: Krugman, now Goldberg. Some rightwing propagandists: Stephens, Weiss, Douthat a bit. Net: center. Politics coverage: desperately bothsidesist and exploited by right. Investigative pieces (e.g. arbitration, nail salons, drug treatment centers): a beacon of clarity and light and really progressive. Bring back a real public editor and get some real progressive op-ed writers who would like Bernie's policies.)
