If you thought the New York Times' leadership and political reporting staff were arrogant before -- there's never been even a hint of public humility from any of them -- just wait.
They feel powerful now, even though that's a layer on top of the rarely revealed insecurity that is part and parcel of being a journalist.
Get ready for an epic new level of contempt for the little people -- like you and me -- who understand how dangerously bad the Times' political coverage has been for decades.
