Actually, I breathe a sigh of relief to learn that twitter, despite the fact that it has suspended many of us, is aligned with the NYT. I blame the Trumpsters for the Times stronger liberal slant, because its readers demand this as a minimal, half-way respectable way of combating Fox, Trump, & the right-wing radio talk jocks. All the terrible divisiveness have been driven by these rightists forces, or at least promulgated far more openly and deeply than ever before. (I don't subscribe to either the Times or twitter, but I can hardly find anyone who cites no pro-Trump stuff as lack of diversity, worth listening to, because that's exactly what I expect them to do)

It's not the political slant that's the problem, it's the lack of truth. If you tell lies to push a liberal agenda it's not going to help the left. It's going to make people who trusted you feel betrayed and distrust you and undermine your position.
