Except they’re also biased.

The New York Times has started cracking down on the shows that its reporters can appear on as the newspaper has recently decided to ban reporters from multiple shows on hyper-partisan cable news networks CNN and MSNBC.
Vanity Fair reported that New York Times finance editor David Enrich recently had to cancel an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” because the newspaper “was wary of how viewers might perceive a down-the-middle journalist like Enrich talking politics” with a hyper-partisan host like Maddow.
Vanity Fair noted that MSNBC’s “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell” and CNN’s “CNN Tonight” with host Don Lemon are also blacklisted by The Times for being too partisan.
“Sources told the magazine the Times’ executive editor Dean Baquet expressed concerns certain primetime shows are becoming more opinionated and that reporters who appear on their shows would be ‘perceived as being aligned’ with the show’s politics,” Fox News reported. “Both MSNBC and CNN have hired several prominent New York Times reporters as contributors in recent years, but it is unclear from the Vanity Fair report if they would be discouraged from appearing on shows deemed ‘too partisan.'”
