Is it me, or is The New York Times standing on the sidelines as fascism (aka, Donald Trump) becomes a very real threat to whatever level of democracy that has actually existed in the United States for the last 250 plus years? I suppose this is what happens when news organizations are run for profit and entertainment rather than their constitutionally enshrined role of being one of the checks and balances versus tyranny. Not that the Times has ever been the liberal mouthpiece that some have claimed, but to just stand by and watch the whole American experiment unravel without raising the alarm day after day seems irresponsible for the nation's "paper of record."
