14. Until a few weeks ago, NYT has been "All the news Hillary tinks fit to print"

Case in point: Paul Krugman. Nobel Prize winner, is brilliant when discussing macro economics. Unfortunately he bought into the absurd "Berniebros" misandry and then, after about 85-90% of his blog readers disagreed with him, he became an 8th grade bully daring them to prove him wrong. It was sad to see a great thinker lose his balance and integrity to help Wall Street's candidate. His blog is called "Conscience of a Liberal."

Maureen Dowd, who has repeatedly shown an almost viscereal dislike of Hillary and Bill, has, during the primaries, confined her criticism, such as it is, to issues in feminism. Very out of character for her.

Other columnists have been less obvious and Kristoff, typically, has done some soul searching on the issue.

The public editor wrote a lengthy feminist piece when Hillary was accused of being ineffective when speaking loudly. In the same column, the public editor allowed someone to describe Bernie as "loud and agessive" without note. "Loud and aggressive" is one of many examples of misandry thrown out regularly against Bernie in the NYT.
