"There is something wrong at the New York Times" --

This is a well-reported, and pretty much conclusive, indictment of the Times' increasingly terrible political journalism.
The Salon piece focuses on super-flawed recent polls the Times has sponsored and touted -- but the rot goes much, much deeper.
"mistakes" are no longer a plausible explanation. Much more likely is willful blindness. Or, and I hope this is not true, outright malign intent.
