so this is new. 




via the financial times , new york times executive editor dean baquet is coming out hot against cnn and fox news: 




<u+201c>this mix of entertainment and news, and news masquerading as entertainment, is kind of funny except that we now have a guy who is a product of that world nominated as republican presidential nominee." 




politico noted that baquet also called out cnn for hiring corey lewandowski, and called fox news <u+201c>not a journalistic institution<u+201d> at heart. he did compliment megyn kelly and chris wallace, calling them great journalists. 




earlier this week, the times published a major story detailing trump's twitter insults, which are also available on twitter: get the magnifying glass: 2 full pages in 3-pt type of nyt listing hundreds of trump's insults pic.twitter.com/aylrta2scj <u+2014> trip gabriel (@tripgabriel) october 24, 2016 




not to be deterred, baquet also dropped a fun burn, claiming cable news coverage in 2016 has been: 




<u+201c>bad for democracy and those institutions.<u+201d>
