Well, "anywhere where they expect their journalists to present a neutral point of view or the appearance of it" would be more appropriate than saying it's something that only applies to The Times... Journalists know they're risking their career by doing something like what happened here. 8t might lead them to become columnists instead, as happened with a local TV journalist that decided to write a letter criticizing a controversial bill and to submit it for publishing in a journal, she lost her job and started writing books and opinion pieces instead.

You believe the right wing op ed writers at the times could ever get fired for their opinions? Bari Weiss was making mid 6 figures posting trash on the NYT before she accused her employer of discrimination to jump start coverage of her new substack.

Everyone is biased, it's how the brain operates. Some biases try to reflect reality while others try to manipulate people to believe propaganda. The Times is perfectly fine employing propagandists.

Op Ed is the opposite of journalism, I was talking about journalists.

Op Ed writers literally write opinion pieces. That’s not journalism.
