Most readers will not know who Walther is, or his history — vital info to evaluating his claims. In fact, the majority of NYT readers will read just the headline. Humans do not use info without context. NYT does a disservice to its readers when it publishes highly partisan columns w/out context.

One aspect of fixing this is pushing the NYT to do better, to describe the history and background of each columnist, especially for these infrequent contributors. The other piece is that all of should speak about the reputation of the NYT itself. A paper doing this isn’t a liberal paper.
