14. Instill read a few columnists at NYT, but their news coverage is annoying at best.

I read mostly Krugman, Friedman, Bruni sometimes, and Kristof. Linda Greenhouse’s pieces on legal matters are usually very good. David Brooks is living in another century most of the time, and I refuse to read anything Maureen Dowd writes. Bret Stephens is the Republican apologist usually trying to put lipstick on the Republican Party pig.

The Times has definitely fallen in quality, and most often seems to be slanting even news headlines to make them less critical of Trump’s offenses and corruption. Of course, we don’t really have any mainstream media that is completely honest in their coverage of Trump or Democrats.
