The NYT's talent for hiring "conservative" columnists who sing for liberals is undeniable:

* Bret Stephens, "Lock Him Up" (Trump is evil, belongs in prison)

* David Brooks (Biden is too great, and Trump too evil, to risk a 3rd party)

* David French (Trump belongs in jail)

There are, of course, some conservatives who think this way. They're mostly in CNN Green Rooms, on the NYT/WPost op-ed pages, and on Pierre Omidyar and Bill Kristol's payroll.

The only NYT columnist with independence is Ross Douthat, and he's very far from a Trump supporter.

What the NYT mostly hires as conservatives are neocons. Almost every major Bush-era neocon is now not only anti-Trump but fully and explicitly anti-GOP, pro-Dem and especially pro-Biden (why?).

That's how the NYT feigns diversity of thought while churning out all liberal dreck.

Listen to this. The key point: the real issue the unified, bipartisan DC class cares about is endless war and the US Security State - that's where trillions are at stake.

And these issues - war and CIA/NSA/DHS abuses - are gone from liberal discourse:

Dems and the GOP will bicker about trans kids, abortion and gun control.

But on the issues where power and wealth are determined - wars, Russia/China, the US Security State - AOC and Paul Ryan have the same views, as do Marco Rubio and Pelosi, and NYT's conservatives and Biden.
