Does the New York Times have journalistic standards? I ask because today the Times announced that it is hiring Glenn Thrush to cover the White House. Thrush, of course, is the Politico reporter who sent his articles for pre-approval to the Clinton campaign during the presidential election. We learned that when the emails of John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chair, were leaked online at Wikileaks. It's just another example of the Times ignoring the substance of some really shady dealings by the Clinton group and supporting media while making a big stink over who exactly leaked this true material to Wikileaks.
How can the Times hire this guy? Obviously, Thrush doesn't care about journalism. His motto seems to be "All the news that's approved by the Clintons". It would be one thing if thrush were hired to run some internal newsletter at the DNC, but the New York Times claims to be a major source of journalism.
I started this by asking if the Times has journalistic standards. Clearly, the answer is no.
