Worst: pitching TO Cotton highlights his click-bait provocateur approach to the page that has so wrecked @nytimes contribution to civic discourse.
The goal was to trigger readers.
Disgraceful.
(In fact, they should run more, with an emphasis on expanding beyond the usual-suspect rolodex.)
Last: Several new hires have made the page much better...
But the page takes its culture from the vision and judgement of its leadership.
@jbennet owns this.
