Not sure Wolfe would qualify as one of the "good" editors fired at the times. Maybe OP is referring to Bennet? I'm any case the power dynamics at the NYT have been shifting to the detriment of solid reporting for a while now. It's sad but the NYT and WaPo are now the Fox News of the repressive left and state power (so long as it's Blue).

The NYT and WaPo editorials and analysis are the most milquetoast center-left opinions you can find. That's always been their position.
The difference is now they're coming after Silicon Valley, because they realize they've lost their attention and advertising monopoly. It's all very predicable and boring.
It's the same deal with Balaji. The only reason he cares is because the reporting might hurt a company he's invested in.
Follow the money. Always follow the money.

James Bennet edited the opinion section, so his resignation wouldn’t have anything to do with the shift away from “solid reporting” you’re talking about.
