#Thread: We need to talk about the @nytimes. I believe it's a conversation that is long overdue. We need to consider seriously that despite some excellent investigative journalism, something about their leadership is off. They appear to be compromised, even complicit at times.

Over 30% of them won their races, sometimes unseating an incumbent Republican or taking a reliably Democratic seat.
