Part of it, perhaps, is to do with his generation of liberals.

Who was it that said, the other day, that there is nothing worse than a Southern liberal (someone on Fox News?)? And Raines is a Southern liberal.

He is destroying the paper - and for that we should all be happy. In the old days, the NY Times and the Washington Post ruled the roost and they could hide their liberalism. Now there are too many media outlets and it's no longer easy to hide.
