One need only read Jill Abramson's memoir to see what Dean Baquet cares about. New York did a 6,000-word profile of Kahn with reference to only one so-called Timeswoman, Maureen Dowd, and then only because the author used to work for her and I'm sure did a LOT of fact-checking.

One need only read Jill Abramson's memoir to see what Dean Baquet cares about. New York did a 6,000-word profile of Kahn with reference to only one so-called Timeswoman, Maureen Dowd, and then only because the author used to work for her and I'm sure did a LOT of fact-checking. As is obvious from Baquet's responses to reasoned criticism, there has been no interest in The Times examining itself. And it desperately needs to.
I read that after the Times basically said that their public editor would be replaced by social media and by allowing comments on more articles, Baquet told his people to ignore Twitter. From what I have seen the Times is also allowing comments on fewer not more articles. Let’s hope that disdain for their readers stops with this new guy.
