None of these people work for the NY Times. I don't understand why she's citing them as evidence that the NY Times has not been neutral in the war.

That's not the point she's arguing.

Her point is that the NYT gasped in horror and thought it required a scolding editorial when a conservative newsman expressed an opinion that wasn't 100% neutral and non-partisan, *but* they never uttered a peep when faced with more clearly outrageous examples in the past by newspeople on the liberal side of the fence.

Her point is they're hypocrites, with a glaring double-standard.

Liberals are allowed to be wildly partisan, but conservatives aren't.

That's the meaning of the tail-end sentence you quoted from her: "So it's interesting that the Times viewed Ailes' letter as an affront to objective journalism."

She's saying, "it's interesting that they've never jumped on all those other examples of partisanship, but they saw Ailes' less egregious behavior as 'an affront to objective journalism'".

Her talents wasted? Not to my way of thinking.

Here's my way of thinking. Where do her columns run? World Net Daily. Front Page magazine. No one who isn't already in line with Ann's way of thinking would read either of those publications. She's managed to get her writing dropped from publications that do actually reach people who disagree with her (even prior to the Sept. 11 'convert them to Christianity' comment) because of factual problems and her tendency to write the same things over and over.

I believe that the point of opinion writing is to convince people, not preach to the choir.

There are 2 pieces on Ailes. The one she's writing about is a bylined op-ed. The NY Times editorial ran later, and her column isn't about that one (though it should be).

Sure. You don't have to, but many do. It keeps readers interested. So Tom Curley (publisher of USA Today) does. So does Sulzberger over at the Times, occasionally. The ones in disagreement are outnumbered, but they're there. Trust me, the publishers of USA Today didn't agree with Coulter, but they published her. At the TImes, they don't agree with Safire. At the WSJ, they don't agree with their liberal columnists. But readers of op-ed pages want pieces that make them say "I never thought of it that way." If you're all the same, they don't say that, and they move along.
