The New York Times Politics Reporting Is Not About the Coverage

i would love to see a little less defensiveness out of journalists in this area, especially the new york times political desk. We should look back on our records and the things we've done and an critique ourselves and try to improve and do better. That never happens in these conversations about coverage. The fundamental issue is that all political coverage in main stream oulets in this country,. its predicated on the assumption that there some other coverage happening somewhere elseThat's not true. There is no substantive coverage. It's political coverage all the way down.
