Good News!

The New York Times is looking for an opinion writer to identify, explain and advocate big ideas about health care reform, public health, science, and related issues of public policy.

We’re looking for someone who writes sharply and provocatively and is ambitious to range widely in their work. We’re also looking for a great colleague. The editorial board is a writers’ collaborative; beats can be shared, and our journalists roam across subjects and forms of commentary, from breaking news to longer-term projects, from unsigned editorials to signed pieces.

The ability to write precisely, concisely and urgently are crucial. So is a sense of humor. This position is represented by the Newspaper Guild of New York.

they're asking for someone "ambitious" who writes "provocatively" and whose opinions "range widely", so yeah, they're probably gonna hire someone who thinks the only state-funded healthcare should be bullets in the head for the poor, old, and disabled

Someone whose opinions "range widely" is code for centrist.

Regarding last week’s events in Charlottesville, Va., consider the following propositions:

(1) James Alex Fields Jr., the young man who on Saturday, police say, rammed his Dodge Challenger into a crowd in Charlottesville, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 19 others, was not a “domestic terrorist.”

(2) He was a fatherless, troubled individual who likely experienced economic disenfranchisement as a child of Kentucky and was moved to violence for motives about which we can only guess.

(3) The marchers who gathered in Charlottesville to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee are not necessarily “alt-right.” After all, the alt-right movement encompasses a diverse spectrum of opinion, only some of it racist, and should not be tarred by the rhetoric or actions of a few.

(4) White people should feel no sense of responsibility because a tiny handful of so-called white “nationalists” and “supremacists” falsely claim to speak in their name.

(5) The blame for the events in Charlottesville does not lie with any particular group. Both sides bear their share of guilt and should have shown greater restraint.

(6) President Trump was right on Saturday to avoid stigmatizing any particular group in his remarks condemning violence and hatred. Doing so would unnecessarily elevate the profile of the angry losers and occasionally violent extremists who defame Americans and give them the P.R. victory they were seeking all along.

O.K., now here’s hoping you’re revolted by each of the six preceding points. Because, if you are, then maybe we can at last rethink the policy of euphemism, obfuscation, denial and semantic yoga that typified the Obama administration’s discussions of another form of terrorism.
