Only, possibly, when I was a child and with increasingly less applications as each year has gone by were “facts” ever “sacred” to journalism and “opinions” held as “contaminants”.

Yet New York Times editor Kate Phillips seems to still treat opinions as contaminants as evidenced by her recent disclosure that, "I almost wish we could go back to the days when we never heard their voices."

“Yet New York Times editor Kate Phillips seems to still treat opinions as contaminants as evidenced by her recent disclosure that, “I almost wish we could go back to the days when we never heard their voices.”

It is only others opinions, not hers or her bosses that concern her. To her and her bosses THEIR opinions are far from a contaminant - they are a requirement.
