The candidates are interesting, NYT is disappointing
I want to be clear here that my opinion is not based on resentment that “my candidate” was somehow treated badly; in fact, the candidate I support was endorsed... at least halfway. 😅 That being said, I was disappointed with the bias that shone through throughout the interviews, from blatantly ageist arguments against some candidates (and this from a newspaper that purports itself to be unbiased, except of course when it suits their purposes), to the absurd attacks on Mayor Pete for his time at McKinsey as a junior staffer, when he supposedly had a direct role in doing things like price-fixing bread. These interviewers need to stop being so self-righteous. It’s irritating. On the flip side, I enjoy hearing from these candidates - even the ones I don’t support. They are all interesting people with substantial things to say and I enjoyed being able to hear from them in more than just sound bites.

The interview with Mayor Pete, by some board members was almost hostile- he was in his mid 20s during his McKinsey career and a number cruncher. Yet he was blamed for layoffs and an isolated price fixing incident of...Read full review »
