LoL, this "Think Tank" is literally a propaganda office; but since NYT largely shares their political biases, they're not willing to admit that it was a dishonest venture before it was directly influenced by Eric Schmidt.

Is that really different from any other think tank or the NYT itself?

NYT's David Brooks is on their board of directors so not really. Might want to see the other members as well.

I rarely hear the NYT described as sharing the political biases of David Brooks, their employer-employee relationship notwithstanding. Brooks presumably has some influence on New America with that position, so I'm curious how this squares with microcolonel's assessment.

Wow, the CEO is the son of George Soros. This think tank is like the reincarnation of the devil.
