Not that it speaks to your point, but he's right about them in a way. There's still a ton of talent there, but amongst the 40-and-under crowd there isn't the instinctive reliance on it as the paper of record.

Remember when the Times tried to cover up the holocaust?


Paper of record.

Yet he craves validation from the Times, the Post, Time Magazine, etc. Virtually identical inferiority complex that Nixon had. Rants about "elites" but desperately wants to be accepted into their company at the same time.

Trump really going after Mueller this morning. 4 ranting posts in 2 hours. Nervous

EVERYONE craves validation from The Times. Even if the value is entirely on the surface and devalued because you know not to take them too seriously. It's happened to me than twice that I've scooped a Times reporter, met them both professionally and socially multiple times and have mutual friends, and they still don't remember my name. It's an institution that gets away with a ton because of its brand. And, sometimes, the coverage reflects that arrogance. And, man, I'd really love to have a byline in that damn paper.

EVERYONE BUT WIZ craves validation from The Times. Wiz does not know about newspapers.
