   It’s not “branding,” it’s just pointing out a fact. He’s a felon. There was a court case and a judge and everything.

   The NYT is good on plenty of things. But their coverage of Trump always feels like it’s guided by business decisions first, and reporting second.

     I think it's more *Sulzberger* decisions rather than actual business decisions. Seems to me sales would edge decidedly upward if they actually did start covering Trump honestly.

     @wrog Maybe, but my sense is that no one clicks like an angry left-wing NYT subscriber.

     @mcnees @wrog Honestly, the crossword has been the only thing stopping me from unsubscribing for a while now… maybe it’s time

     @mcnees The NYT is a mouthpiece of the GOP these days.
