New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet said he has warned junior staff that the paper will not openly back Sens. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) or Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) due to concerns about appearing too political.
“They probably want a more political New York Times than I’m willing to give them,” Baquet told the Guardian. “I hope they will learn over time that a New York Times that plays it straight has much more power and much more longevity.”
