NBA Daily: 60-Pick Mock Draft – 6/18/2019
The 2019 NBA Draft is Thursday and things seem to be taking shape at the top of the draft board. However, the middle of the draft could be wildly unpredictable. Steve Kyler offers up another 60-pick Mock Draft.
The NBA Draft is upon us, and while there still seems to be a lot of things in play in the middle of the draft, the top of the board seems to be settling in on a defined order.
Assuming the top 10 picks stay where they are, the draft could go pretty much as scripted. After the top 10, it seems this could be a wildly unpredictable draft, with what's shaping up to be a lot of pick movement, especially as certain guys rise or fall.
Here are some of the situation to watch:
The New Orleans Pelicans, fresh off their agreed Anthony Davis trade with the LA Lakers, are still exploring moves that could involve the fourth overall pick. The prevailing thought is if New Orleans can flip the pick for a solid veteran they would, but there has also been recent talk that they would like to try and trade up to grab Duke forward RJ Barrett in front of the Knicks. It doesn't seem likely that Memphis would do such a deal unless they were assured they would get Murray State's Ja Morant at four. The Knicks have been pretty locked in on keeping the third pick and have made it clear to local media that they would be happy with either Barrett or Morant, likely killing any traction on a Memphis-Pelicans swap.
The Cleveland Cavaliers had been linked to the Atlanta Hawks in a deal for the fifth overall pick, but traction on that seems to have died off once the Pelicans got control of the fourth pick and seem to have zeroed in on Texas Tech guard Jarrett Culver if they keep the pick. The Hawks have been exploring options on moving one of their middle first round picks, either the 10 or the 17, which they will receive from Brooklyn as part of the pending Allen Crabbe salary dump. League sources doubt the Hawks keep all of their picks, but it's unclear where those moved picks would land as of today.
Speaking of moved picks, the Boston Celtics have been exploring options on their three first-round picks; it is believed the Celtics will ultimately deal the player they select with the 20th overall pick, although league sources say Boston is open to moving all of them if the return is right.
There could be some teams to watch in terms of trading into the draft; The Houston Rockets have explored deals that would get them into the late lottery, it does not seem like there is traction on anything as of today, but it's a situation to watch.
The Denver Nuggets have also explored deals to get into the first round, mainly to obtain inexpensive bench players. The Nuggets could be one of the teams to watch for with one of the Celtics or Hawks picks.
With all of that in mind, here is the latest NBA Mock Draft. You can look for the Final Consensus Mock Draft tomorrow.UPDATED: 6/18 - 4:00pm

Mock Drafts
2020 NBA Mock Draft – First Round – 08/21/2020
The 2020 NBA Draft order is now locked in, however, there are tons of additional questions to be answered in the coming weeks. Here is a look at the first round, in this Basketball Insiders Mock Draft.
To say the 2020 NBA Draft has been chaotic is an understatement, however with last night's NBA Draft Lottery out of the way, things are starting to at least trend in a positive direction.
That doesn't mean there are not challenges ahead, namely when the actual NBA Draft will take place.
There is a growing sense that the NBA and the players are going to push back the start of the next cap year, which will likely impact when and how the NBA Draft plays out.
Typically, the Draft is a major transaction window for NBA teams, and with so much unknown surrounding how the salary cap will be set, and when trades and transactions typically consummated around the draft would become official, there is a lot of uncertainty, making the 2020 NBA draft wide open on many fronts.
The hope among teams is that some clarity on all of this will surface in the coming weeks, but for now most teams are operating in uncharted waters.
With all of that in mind, here is a look at the 2020 NBA Draft First round, which will be the first of many weekly Mock Drafts we'll be dropping all the way up to the draft, whenever that finally gets set.
The Basketball Insiders Annual Consensus Mock Drafts will begin in September, as will full 60-pick mocks starting next week, so stay tuned.
Mock Drafts
2019 NBA Consensus Mock Draft – Final
For the last seven weeks, four of Basketball Insiders' top writers have been breaking down the latest news and notes surrounding the 2019 NBA Draft, here is their final look at all 60 picks.
For the last seven weeks, four of Basketball Insiders' top writers have been breaking down the latest news and notes surrounding the 2019 NBA Draft. Each week they provided an updated mock draft that reflected how each writer saw the draft landscape based on the latest news, workouts and information from the pre-draft process as well as a notebook, outlining each writers' thoughts, observations and reporting on the draft.
Keep in mind we are trying to find commonalities, which is why it is called the Consensus. The writers involved do not see each other's selections until these are posted. It is done deliberately to make sure each writer is not influencing the others.
Here is the Final Consensus Mock for the 2019 NBA Draft:
*** The 30th pick in the first round was traded to the Detroit Pistons, and the picks made reflect that trade, which will not happen until after the player is selected
***The 32nd pick in the second round was traded to the Indiana Pacers, and the picks made reflect that trade, which will not happen until after the player is selected
***The 41st pick in the second round was traded to the Golden State Warriors, and the picks made reflect that trade, which will not happen until after the player is selected
Version: 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 6.0
Jesse's Notebook Some recent trades, including the trades for Anthony Davis and Mike Conley, as well as a few other transactions have shifted the draft board yet again. First-round picks are being moved around after a period in which prying away a first-rounder from another team was basically a non-starter. With the way the last few days have unfolded, and with the Western Conference seemingly wide open, I am predicting there will be several major trades on draft night. Add in the uncertainty surrounding several star free agents, and it's simply impossible to predict with much precision what will happen on Thursday. However, this is the sort of environment that excites fans almost as much as the actual playoffs and NBA Finals, and I am not one to complain.
What is interesting about this is the fact that this draft seemingly drops off a cliff (arguably) once we get to the ninth pick. It would be more understandable to anticipate major moves on draft night with a loaded class, but that simply isn't the case this year. My draft board has moved around wildly throughout this process, and I am bracing myself to be off the mark on draft night. All it takes is one trade for things to get thrown off in a major way, and I am anticipating at least a few major moves.
Throughout this process, I was looking for a handful of players to grab my attention and never let it go. Last season, that player was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and I was very interested in seeing where Michael Porter Jr. would ultimately land given his talent and injury issues. That player never really emerged this year, however. I think Cameron Reddish is one of the more intriguing players in the class considering his talent and upside, but shaky college record.
I look forward to revisiting this draft a few years down the road. At least one general manager is going to get a steal somewhere in the middle or backend of the draft. Considering how comparable the talent is throughout the board once we get past the lottery, it's hard to say who the steal of the draft may be. Again, I am fully prepared for draft night to go off script in a major way. I recommend all NBA fans do the same.
Drew's Notebook After months of planning, the 2019 NBA Draft is finally upon us. And per the usual, the closer we get, the harder it is to differentiate between fact and fiction given the number of smokescreens generated by agents and teams.
The Grizzlies appear dead set on Ja Morant. And rightfully so considering they traded away Mike Conley. The Knicks have continued to do their due diligence having worked out Vanderbilt's Darius Garland just yesterday – and those close to Garland say the interest is real. On the flip side of the Knicks' decision, RJ Barrett claims to have made considerable improvements since we last saw him at Duke – take that with a grain of salt. But the Knicks still appear to be the first team with a real decision to make.
We also hear that Nassir Little could go as high as nine to Washington and that Sekou Doumbouya might have a guarantee from Orlando at 16. So watch out for those curveballs, too.
As far as teams looking to consolidate their picks are concerned, the Hawks have resisted the idea of packaging the eighth pick along with 10 and/or 17, which may prohibit them from moving up as high as they would prefer. Atlanta owned six picks coming into the draft process – 8, 10, 17, 35, 41 and 44. They've already dealt 41 to Golden State and 44 to Miami. We'll see if they continue moving/consolidating picks in hopes of mitigating the number of rookies they bring into training camp.
We've also heard that the Celtics would like to package their picks to move up, but it seems as though they've struggled to gain any traction – probably because teams can't accurately predict who will be available with their selections (the Celtics' first selection is 14). Boston may have to wait for some names to come off the board before others decide if trading back for multiple selections is the right move.
Draft night will inevitably deliver a number of surprises to the Brooklyn crowd. I expect heavy trade activity tomorrow night in advance of another wild free agency period, beginning June 30.
Spencer's Notebook The day is here, folks! Tonight marks the official date of the 2019 NBA Draft, which will begin potentially one of the most hectic summers the association has ever seen.
In past notebooks from different versions of our Consensus Mock, I surmised that much of the shakeout would depend on what happened with Anthony Davis in New Orleans. Well, that situation resolved itself this past week when the Los Angeles Lakers made a franchise-altering trade with the Pelicans to land "The Brow" in Hollywood.
New Orleans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin now holds significant draft capital, as the team has both the first and fourth pick in this upcoming class. He also swindled three more first-rounders along with The Big Easy's new upstart talents in Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Josh Hart. Due to the abundance of young guard/wing talent, and multiple teams vying to trade up using different packages, there's a reason for the Pelicans to deal away No. 4.
And because of the uncertainty of what will happen at that slot, it's difficult to predict how the draft will ultimately shake out. For example, if New Orleans decides to hang onto it, they could take Darius Garland, or RJ Barrett (if he falls) or whomever they deem fits their organization. However, if a team like the Atlanta Hawks jumps the Cleveland Cavaliers to draft Jarrett Culver or De'Andre Hunter, it could cause a domino effect that may completely alter everybody else's plans.
Just in the past 48 hours, we learned about developments in New York. According to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, the Knicks brass is seriously considering Garland at No. 3 and worked him out Wednesday. Whether this is actual interest or a way to drive up an asking price for their draft pick in order to make a deal of their own, we don't actually know. The same thing could be said for Cleveland, who despite having Collin Sexton, is intrigued by the dynamic point guard.
At this point in the process, the real information could differ completely from what's being leaked. Smoke is already filling up the room. It's almost impossible to predict what will happen in this year's draft, especially when most people around NBA circles believe that, at the tail end of the lottery, there could be draft picks moved every which way.
This is like throwing a dart blindfolded. As I tweeted last night, we might be burning our mock drafts at the rate we rip up brackets in the month of March.
The Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks already moved their first-round picks in separate deals. That could only be the beginning. Who knows what the Hawks and Boston Celtics will do with three first-round selections in such a difficult class to differentiate player talent?
We won't have to wait much longer to find out. Enjoy draft night, everyone!
Steve's Notebook The 2019 NBA Draft is tonight in Brooklyn, New York, and while the suspense at the top of the draft board looks unchanged, there is a lot of potential for movement everywhere else.
As things stand today, Zion Williamson will be the top overall pick with almost no surprise there.
At number two, there continued to be talk last night that New Orleans was trying to pry the number two pick out of Memphis to grab Duke's RJ Barrett, which would push Memphis back to the fourth spot and catching either Murray State's Ja Morant or Vanderbilt's Darius Garland, after the Knicks select at three. While these talks remain fluid, it does not appear at this point there will be a deal, but as is true with all trades, the right combination of assets changing hands can often turn a "No" into a "Yes."
The New York Knicks have done their fair share of waffling on what to do at number three. While RJ Barrett remains the odds on favorite, the Knicks did take a long look at Garland on Wednesday in New York, as well as having surveyed executives from other teams for their views on Barrett, which is common due diligence, but also shows there may be some doubt on the long-term fit of Barrett.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have also been busy working on trade scenarios that could include in the fifth overall pick, the partially guaranteed cap clearing contract of JR Smith and their second pick at 26. The narrative around Cleveland is that they want to build around last year's pick Collin Sexton, but the potential availability of Garland could test that commitment. Since the NBA Draft Combine, the Cavs have been linked to Duke's Cam Reddish in trade down scenarios. There has been a belief that if Texas Tech guard Jarrett Culver is there at five, the Cavs may grab him and flip him to the Atlanta Hawks for either of the eighth or tenth picks and the Hawks pick at 17 which they obtained from the Brooklyn Nets.
As for some of the notable teams:
The prevailing thought is the Chicago Bulls are grabbing either Virginia's De'Andre Hunter or UNC's Coby White at 7.
The Washington Wizards seemed to have three guys in their sights: White, UNC's Nassir Little and Limoges CSP's Sekou Doumbouya.
The Hawks seem to be where Mega Bemax's Goga Bitadze is going to land, likely at the ten spot.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are said to be extremely high on Gonzaga's Rui Hachimura, although things could get interesting if Texas big man Jaxson Hayes is still on the board.
The Miami HEAT seem very open to trading their pick at 13, and there was talk in New York that Darius Bazley may be the HEAT's guy, even as high as 13 if they keep the pick. The Pistons are also believed to be very high on Bazley.
The 2019 NBA draft is shaping up to be one of the turbulent drafts in recent years. A typical draft will have 15 to 18 transactions, most involving moving picks around. This year's draft may double that when all the trade volume is done, so don't get too attached to anyone your team may draft – they may not be there long.

Mock Drafts
2019 NBA Consensus Mock Draft – Ver 6.0
With one week left, four of Basketball Insiders' experts take a look at the draft class and weigh in on what they are seeing and hearing in the march up to the 2019 NBA Draft.
Each week, four of Basketball Insiders' top writers will break down the latest news and notes surrounding the 2019 NBA Draft. With every new version, you'll see an updated mock draft that reflects how each writer sees the draft landscape based on the latest news, workouts, and information from the pre-draft process as well as a notebook, outlining each writers' thoughts, observations and reporting on the draft.
Keep in mind; we are trying to find commonalities, which is why it is called the Consensus. The writers involved do not see each other's selections until these are posted. It is done deliberately to make sure each writer is not influencing the others.
As this process plays out, the mocks will evolve, so look for a new Consensus each Wednesday, all the way up to draft day on June 20th.
Here is this week's Consensus Mock:
Version: 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0
Jesse's Notebook: My board remains relatively intact from Ver 5.0, but I now have Darius Garland going to the Lakers with the fourth overall pick. Steve Kyler has reported that Garland may have a promise from the Lakers, which makes sense considering the team's roster construction and Garland's skill set.
I still predict the Knicks selecting RJ Barret with the third overall pick, but Jarret Culver seems intent on pushing for that slot by hyping up his defensive impact. Where I think things will get interesting is the fifth pick. Of course, what the Cavaliers ultimately do with the fifth overall pick depends on what happens with picks 1-4, but I wouldn't be shocked if Cleveland takes a chance on someone who isn't necessarily on our radar at this point.
Atlanta is emerging as one of the teams I am particularly interested in. Their front office is smart and aggressive collectively, so I am eager to see what they do on draft night. Atlanta is building an intriguing core of young talent, so a strong draft could catapult them another step forward in their rebuild.
While we are quickly coming up on draft night, I still don't have a clear picture of what will happen after the 10th pick. My board continues to shift on a day-to-day basis and I would not be shocked if the draft ends up in chaos, with at least a few players making big leaps up the board and others suffering big drops.
Spencer's Notebook: In the most up to date version of this mock draft, things have changed a bit. We learned about the first big trade prior to June 20, with the Brooklyn Nets sending Allen Crabbe, their current 17th pick to the Atlanta and a protected 2020 first-rounder for Taurean Prince and a future second round pick. Brooklyn offloaded a heavy contract to free up cap space for the upcoming summer of free agency, while the Hawks gained a meaningful extra selection.
It doesn't quite shake things up in the lottery much yet, but that could certainly change. With three picks in the top 17 range of this draft, it wouldn't be surprising for the Hawks to package together some picks to move up the board. It also offers flexibility for Atlanta with the amount of assets they possess.
Who knows what the Los Angeles Lakers do with that fourth pick, but if it's kept, it could come down between Darius Garland and Jarrett Culver. The latter worked out for the team recently and the returns were impressive.
On another player I haven't discussed much yet to this point – Nassir Little is a prospect that, before the NBA Draft process began, was expected to go at No. 15 at the highest after one year at North Carolina. His defensive ability comes into question, as does his outside shooting. It was all-in-all an underwhelming showing for a five-star high school prospect who—despite playing his role well—ended up as the Tar Heels' sixth man.
However, there is no denying the athleticism and pro-ready frame, which will be Little's ace in the hole heading into the draft. At the NBA Combine, he took an opportunity to show those elements off and ran with it. Put the former McDonald's All-American in the right situation and the team who takes him might be getting a player with top-ten potential.
Drew's Notebook: This past week looked like it would be a quiet one, and then the Nets traded the 17th overall pick and Allen Crabbe to the Hawks for Taurean Prince and a protected 2020 pick. So gone is the idea that Brooklyn will be drafting a backup big man. Instead, the Nets appear poised to make a play for at least one max-level free agent (if not two) in the very near future.
But the Nets aren't the only team well-positioned following their trade. The Hawks now have three first-round picks. They can consolidate them via trade or they can opt to use all three. Either way, the Hawks are primed to add at least one top-flight rookie. Be on the lookout for the Hawks to discuss packaging all three picks in a deal with the Cavs and Bulls.
I am also interested in monitoring the New York Knicks' interest in Texas Tech's Jarrett Culver. Rumors have been circulating for the last week or so about their fascination with the 6'6″ shooting guard, which could indicate interest in trading down; Culver was projected between the fifth and ninth pick in last week's Basketball Insiders' 2019 NBA Consensus Mock Draft — Version 5.0.
The Knicks represent an inflection point in this year's draft. What they choose to do with the third pick sets the tone for at least picks four through eight. They can either select RJ Barrett, pick Culver or whomever else they feel best fits their team and philosophy, trade down for additional assets or package the pick with other assets in exchange for a superstar-caliber player. Their interest in a deal with the Hawks could be significant now considering the Hawks have a third 2019 first-round pick to trade.
Regardless of what the Knicks choose to do, all of the teams that pick after them must have a number of strategies fleshed out to ensure complete preparedness. And with the draft less than two weeks away, all of the teams picking in the lottery should be prepared for chaos.
Steve's Notebook: If you have followed me in previous drafts (this is the 15th draft I have covered professionally), there is usually a point in which I lose faith in everything I think I know. Maybe it's information overload after the Combine, the Pro Days and the workouts, but it seems every year I get to a point where I don't trust what I am hearing.
Does Garland really have a promise to the Lakers? Jarrett Culver's camp doesn't think so.
Are the Cavaliers trading the 5th pick? Atlanta seems to think they have the inside track on a deal that would allow them to keep the 8th pick while picking up the 5th pick, but is that deal hinged on Cleveland landing Cam Reddish; who they have coveted since before the Draft Lottery?
Are the Bulls getting Lonzo Ball from the Lakers in exchange for the 7th pick? It seems they might if that additional pick nets the Lakers Anthony Davis from New Orleans, or will Chicago swoop and scoop all of the Davis suitors and land him in Chicago for themselves and keep the 7th pick?
The Celtics seem to be open to moving most of their first-round picks, but who is buying? Denver seems like they want into the first-round, so does Houston.
If the chatter around this draft is illustrating anything to me, it's that the bulk of the picks currently being held in the 6 to 26 range could change hands, it seems that crazy at this point, but that may simply be a by-product of so many teams exploring what their draft options are.
If you are grading the draft process at home, please be kind, I am not sure how much I really know at this point, and sadly, that's not uncommon.
Things usually take much firmer shape on the Tuesday before the draft, which thankfully is just a few days away.

Arthur Goldberg
|Arthur Goldberg
|Former Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
From: September 28, 1962 – July 2, 1965
|John F. Kennedy
|Felix Frankfurter
|Abe Fortas
|Former the United States Ambassador to the United Nations

Arthur Joseph Goldberg was born on August 8, 1908, in Chicago. He died January 19, 1990.
In the 1930s he was active in the Civil Liberties Committee, and was briefly a member of the far-left National Lawyers Guild.
Labor lawyer
Goldberg had established a name for himself as a leading labor law specialist with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and especially the Steelworkers Union. He helped purge the CIO of pro-Communist elements and was a strong supporter of anti-Communist programs in the Cold War. Labor was still a powerful part of the New Deal Coalition when President John F. Kennedy appointed him to be Secretary of Labor in 1961.
In 1963, after Justice Felix Frankfurter retired, Kennedy nominated Goldberg to fill the empty seat. Goldberg took his place on the bench in September 1962.[1]
Supreme Court
Goldberg joined the Court just as the Civil Rights Movement rose to the forefront of American politics, and many of the decisions made by the Court were related to this issue. Among the notable cases argued before the Court during Goldberg's tenure were Escobedo v. Illinois (1964), Gibson v. Florida Legislative Investigation Committee (1963), and Zemel v. Rusk (1965). A committed liberal, Goldberg's short tenure on the bench was judged mainly ineffectual.[2]
United Nations
Three years after Goldberg took his seat on the Supreme Court, President Lyndon B. Johnson asked him to step down and accept an appointment as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Johnson wanted to use the seat to reward a friend, and Goldberg reluctantly agreed. On July 26, 1965, Goldberg assumed the responsibilities of Ambassador to the United Nations. The central issue was the Vietnam War, and Goldberg made little headway, so he resigned in 1968.
In January 1966 Goldberg summarized the 14 points of American policy regarding Vietnam:
- "That the United States is prepared for discussions or negotiations without any prior conditions whatsoever or on the basis of the Geneva Accords of 1954 and 1962; that a reciprocal reduction of hostilities could be envisaged and that a cease-fire might be the first order of business in any discussions or negotiations; that the United States remains prepared to withdraw its forces from South Vietnam as soon as South Vietnam is in a position to determine its own future without external interference; that the United States desires no continuing military presence or bases in Vietnam; that the future political structure in South Vietnam should be determined by the South Vietnamese people themselves through democratic processes, and that the question of the reunification of the two Vietnams should be decided by the free decision of their two peoples."[3]

The New York Times defended hiring former Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens — a writer who has promoted climate denial and bigotry against Arabs — by insisting that it is seeking diversity of thought.
Public Editor Liz Spayd responded to readers' complaints about Stephens by writing that the Times is looking "to include a wider range of views, not just on the Opinion pages but in its news columns."
But hiring another prominent writer whose ideology hems close to that of the nation's elites — in this case, fossil fuel corporations who are polluting the world and advocates of Western military might — is hardly adding intellectual diversity to the pages of the Times.
Here are six categories of writers who would truly broaden and diversify the op-ed pages of the NYT:
1. Bernie Sanders backers: Bernie Sanders is the nation's most popular sitting politician, but the Times doesn't employ a single columnist who was vocally supportive of his bid for president. It could change that by hiring some of his prominent backers: philosopher Cornel West, Jacobin editor Bhaskar Sunkara, civil rights scholar Michelle Alexander, labor organizer Jonathan Tasini, and former Nevada Assemblywoman and organizer Lucy Flores could all make strong additions.
2. Donald Trump supporters: Although the Times has numerous conservative columnists, none of them were open partisans of President Trump — whose approval ratings among Republican voters remains high. The Times could fix this by hiring some of the more thoughtful Trump backers, or at least writers who have documented his appeal. For instance, there is Dilbert creator Scott Adams, who admires Trump's powers of persuasion and correctly predicted that he would be elected. It could also hire the Washington Examiner's Saleno Zito, who has crisscrossed the country talking to Trump's supporters, and who has done more than most journalists to document his appeal to the grassroots.
3. Young people: There seems to be a rule that a newspapers' op-ed pages can't include anyone under 40, even as editors lament that no young people read them. The Times could break real ground by hiring talented millennial writers like the Washington Post's Elizabeth Bruenig or Demos's Sean McElwee. The Times could also go even younger, including the voices of Americans who are rarely heard: high-schoolers. They could hire a regular teenage columnist, or even have students across the country share a regular column — rotating who is chosen to write by racial, gender, class, and other demographics.
4. Arab and Muslim Americans: The Middle East and Islam are frequent topics of New York Times columns, but the paper employs zero Arab or Muslim regular op-ed columnists to write these pieces. This is particularly galling in the face of the Stephens hire, whose reductive writing about the Middle East includes diatribes about the "disease of the Arab mind" and a "Palestinian blood fetish." It could fix this by employing, for instance, prolific religion professor Reza Aslan or activist Linda Sarsour.
5. Opponents of militarism: The NYT op-ed page is home to Thomas Friedman, who once proudly described the message of the Iraq war as the following: "Well, suck. on. this. That…was what this war was about. We coulda hit Saudi Arabia….We coulda hit Pakistan. We hit Iraq because we could." The paper's op-ed pages lack skeptics of military intervention, but the Times could rectify that by hiring any number of talented writers: The American Conservative's Daniel Larison, Foreign Policy's Stephen Walt, or the Council on Foreign Relations' Micah Zenko would all be good picks.
6. Scientists and environmentalists: If the Times thinks it's a good idea to hire someone who questions climate science, it might be a good idea to hire someone who actually studies and practices it to balance him out. They could hire, for instance, leading climatologist James Hansen or environmental lawyer Erin Brockovich.
So let's take the Times at its word. They want a broader range of opinions on their op-ed page, but can't seem to make much progress on their own. So let's send them these suggestions — or any other ideas to truly open the windows there and let in some fresh air.
great suggestion but it will never happen because the NYT are a corporate establishment friendly gatekeeper "mainstream' paper that isn't in the business of overthrowing let alone reforming the broken system of capitalism, white supremacy, and climate wrecking disaster capitalism with all that racial/economic apartheid. That's why we need independent media and more socialist/progressive/green media that also isn't afraid to want to break apart the system. i.e. can we stop trying to reform the Democrats and have voices like Jill Stein, Ralph Nader, Cheri Honkala, Maragret Flowers, Rocky Anderson, David Edwards and David Cromwell of http://www.medialens.org, Mark Curtis british historian, John Pilger, Rania Khalek, Jimmy Dore, Debbie the Sane Progressive, Medea Benjamin, Robert Eggington of the Dumbartung Aboriginal Corporation, Tara Houska, Winona LaDuke, Ward Churchill, can they lead the resistance as opposed to us making due with Clinton friendly folks or people who though want to change the world think revolution with Russia conspiracy theories and reforming the Demcrats is the way to go when its insane. #jussayin lol
Good ideas. But the NYT readers would go ballistic. They want it only one way. And you can't alienate your customers.
So nothing will change.
Bravo! You don't balance emptiness with an even greater vacuum of ideas.
Start with the new ideas and find the people behind them, then let them rip.
Asking the readership of the NYT how to spin the editorials at the NYT is like asking 5 year olds if they like to watch Teletubbies and, if so, would they like to watch more Teletubbies. The same could be said of The Intercept as well.
Why are you here, ostensibly reading and commenting then?
Thanks for being nonsensical and thus proving your own point.
Here's a paradox for you. Half the country makes less than $50K a year. Alas, if you hired one to write NYT op-eds, they'd probably cease to qualify.
It is confirmed. Intercept does not rock boat. Jilani is either trolling the Times or recommending Trump supporters, conservatives, people in the ruling CFR and deceptive religious types like Azlan in his attempt to 'broaden' it. None of that will 'broaden' the Times, as the Times is already 'there' in its own way.
Disabled people. How come disabled people are always left out of those lists when they represent 20% of the population? Disabled people who identify as disabled and write about disabilities.
Aside from a few crumbs of attention that the Times periodically throws at the community, the paper has been mostly hostile to people with disabilities (as have many other corporate media)
Would it make sense to have several columnists that edit for one another and also edit for outsiders writing op-eds on disability topics? I'm trying to think of a way to create generative content diversity that doesn't quickly reduce to THE one voice writing the daily boiler-plate story.
NYT will NOT hire "pro Bernie" columnist. he is "socialist", may even be "commie" too…. LOL…but seriously, NYT is just Democrat Party propaganda machine. same like Russia's RT, China's CCTV. i am not saying New York Times, CCTV, RT do not provide useful information, in fact they DO. however, i am saying we should know where they come from.
We know that Bernie–who now parties in a Unity Tour with DNC chairman Tom Perez, and who wholeheartedly, sincerely endorsed HRC for president, and who was demonstrated in a new NYT bestseller to have collaborated with the Hillary camp to conceal his own supporters' protests on the convention hall floor from broadcast, and who debated in DNC primaries–is a Democrat.
Hire journalists.
I would love to hear the point of view of some Russian journalists. Are there any left Stan?
I honestly do not know. I have never lived in Russia and do not know the language. But I am grateful to have access to a trustworthy domain expert such as youself.
I do know your country, especially the extremist right side of it, having been born in Texas. I do know its language (especially your dialect), and I read the NYT almost every day from my late teenage years into my forties. As one of the NYT's former punters — and domain experts, by journalistic standards in the US — my credible opinion is The Gray Thing is a piece shit. Same is true for WaPo, CNN, Fox, and any other stenography organ people like you wish everyone would believe in.
I also worked at BBC News from mid 2002 to the end of 2005, and witnessed first hand the spectacle of sweaty palmed, pretty presenters playing force multiplier in March 2003, then drawing lines under Dr. Kelley's erhm… suicide. Didn't see any journalists there either. Can't fault me for not making an effort to find them. I really did try.
Anyway, I thought you guys were supposed to be smart, and armed with the Greatest Bullshit In The World. What happened? Where did your SoftPower go? And why do you keep trying to hang Russian flags around my neck? I detest flags, and yours is particularly odious — over used toilet paper if you ask me, and a few billion others.
Apologies for not displaying suficient deference, but the onus is on you to earn that.
Seems the board at the Times is stuck, old and afraid of getting older and their idealistic visions of yesterday will allow no others of thought outside of their realm to have any note worthy progressive and different thinking for their own future. Perhaps another format or media outlet is needed here for these people of the future.
Oh yes when they lead the 5/7/17 Sunday Times editorial page with Clinton and Trump still fighting 6 months later as an item of news worthy Opinion, something is wrong Andrew Rosenthal
True article about the Times,personally have feel the exact same way about them and the editorial pages.
Old school and no new schools with different opinions because it would disrupt the future for the past that they dearly hold onto. It's about them for them.
But if one has been truly reading the Times ,you are telling us nothing new.
Excellent do-over! I left some unhappy comments at the article you cite, which was a classic example of the sort of failed "identity politics" that led to Trump's election. But this article makes a productive effort to consider authors as THINKERS, not racial objects … even if it does root for a token Arab/Muslim, at least this puts it in a context of the knowledge they have rather than making it a purely ethnic count. So I say good job overall.
Too bad Jilani's missing a key point. The NYT is just like lots of other media that's turning right wing. Why?:
They're convinced that if they're perceived as right wing by Trump and the White House, they'll gain access instead of being trashed all the time.
Right wing content makes shitloads of money. If it doesn't, why are so many media companies right wing?
The Times would hire Cornel West or Michelle Alexander? No chance in hell. Remember, to many powerful media people West is a goddamn socialist. It's not illegal to be a socialist. But it's still used as an insult. The DNC wants nothing to do with him. Why then would the NYT?
They'll hire high school writers? I seriously doubt that.
All the Times cares about is profit. Therefore, you're being delusional.
If the Times was turning right wing, it would buy columns from Roger Stone or Pamela Geller or Pat Buchanan or Joyce Riley or Dana Perino or Janine Turner.
There's no hint of NYT turning anything other than the regurgitation of its own progressive leftist spittle.
"…….They're convinced that if they're perceived as right wing by Trump and the White House, they'll gain access instead of being trashed all the time……"
Put down the pipe
I'm reasonably sure Jilani isn't missing your correct point. He's simply setting forth the hows and whys of why The Times is not, in fact, in pursuit of ideological diversity. That's a related but separate matter.
The Times pundits have been "liberal" on so-called social issues for decades, but overwhelmingly not on economics, war or national security. Unless, to the extent, that neoliberals now are definitionally rightwing in those areas. Either way, it's been rightwing for some time, and is continuing to drift further there.
Just for a bit of historical clarity, when I first moved to the NE USA and began reading The Times in 2009, I was shocked at the lack of articles about women's issues. This was a lack of cis, straight, white women's issues, mind you, never mind any other kind of woman. I don't know what happened, but now there seems to be some effort in this direction. It's not always a thoughtful or helpful effort, but to say that The Times has always been liberal on social issues is not entirely accurate. And they still struggle with parity in their newsroom staff.
NYT "turning right wing"?
All NYT op-eds could be written by an artificial intelligence platform trained on previous NYT op-eds, saving them lots of money. It's like reading State Department press releases – you basically know what they're going to say beforehand. Regurgitated boilerplate propaganda. "Humanitarian values inform our foreign policy decisions," for example.
Straight to the kitty litter box. At least before the digital era, when the paper was more useful.
didnt know NYT had gotten that bad
gave up on it many years back
used to think it was gospel
until wallstreet robbed america
until they promoted wmd and dumya
now its just falafal, and i like falafal
Mr. Jilani
Will the Intercept diversify its staff? Here is Glenn Greenwald discussing diversity in opinion with Bill Kelly ("Is Glenn Greenwald the Future of News?", https://nyti.ms/2pXAbW2):
"…….As for whether our new venture will be ideologically homogenized: the answer is "definitely not." We welcome and want anyone devoted to true adversarial journalism regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum, and have already been speaking with conservatives journalists like that: real conservatives, not the East Coast rendition of "conservatives" such as David Brooks. Our driving ideology is accountability journalism grounded in rigorous factual accuracy……."
Glenn wants to hire a real conservative at least according to his definition. Regardless, I am still waiting for the conservative to arrive at the Intercept. In fact, the Intercept just hired Ryan Grim – the former Washington Bureau Chief for the Huffington Post. Hmmm. Is he the "real" conservative? If diversity of opinion is the goal, it seems like the Intercept is the pot calling the kettle black. In fact, if the Intercept had hired Bret Stephens, that really would have been a commitment to diversity of opinion!
Are you stuck in some kind of time warp? Liberal and conservative have no meaning anymore, other than a stereotypical in-the-box discussion of, let's see – guns, abortions, gay marriage? The issues that really matter – bloated military budget, neoliberal trade policy, global imperial agenda, domestic infrastructure collapse, public health and education disasters, pollution and global warming – basically off the table. Complete loyalty to corporate Wall Street agenda, that's your establishment liberal-conservative position, that's the allowable spectrum in American corporate media.
Borg mentality, that's what it's called. There's an acceptable range of positions on the 'liberal-to-conservative' spectrum. Anything outside that is to be dismissed. Self-censorship is the route to success. You will be assimilated. But you know this already, don't you?
"…….The issues that really matter – bloated military budget, neoliberal trade policy, global imperial agenda, domestic infrastructure collapse, public health and education disasters, pollution and global warming – basically off the table……."
It's just a pipe dream to think you are going to reverse globalization, but we have discussed that in the past. Neoliberalism is here to stay. You might be able to slow it (temporarily), but our economies become ever more dependent increasing the grip of globalization. The French vote – while complicated – is a realization that the anti-global forces will inevitably be defeated. That includes fundamentalist Islam, the far right and the anti-global extreme left.
And I shouldn't need to remind you that the Medvedev Doctrine specifically calls for an imperialist agenda in Russia's near abroad. As the world shrinks, imperialism could become more competitive among the world powers – China, the US and Russia.
Thanks photo
Glenn likely means the sort of conservatives at the outlet where he's often written, to wit: American Conservative. If Daniel Larison wanted to write here, I'd be very surprised if Glenn wouldn't be thrilled.
The Intercept does have diversity if opinion. This is obvious in comments, when people like me shriek and complain about multiple of the articles and authors. Take Mackey (please).
You note below that Bret Stephens has been Editor in Chief of the Jerusalem Post. This makes him nothing diverse at all at The Times. Diverse would be hiring the
Executive Director of Electronic Intifada, Ali Abunimah. That hire for the pundit page– or anyone remotely similar — will not happen at The Times in my lifetime.
The Israel Lobby would never permit it.
Well Mona, of course there is some diversity of opinion, but mostly liberal, far left (anti-war), but there is no diversity of thought like the recent column by the moderate conservative, Ross Douthat, at the NYT (The European Crisis https://nyti.ms/2qxpUxH). Greenwald has an incredible ability to think outside the box. However, just for the fact that Greenwald eliminates the possibility of hiring David Brooks strongly indicates that he opposes diversity of opinion. Brooks is an extremely intelligent, moderately conservative Republican.
This is both gag-inducing and fucking funny:
just for the fact that Greenwald eliminates the possibility of hiring David Brooks strongly indicates that he opposes diversity of opinion. Brooks is an extremely intelligent, moderately conservative Republican.
Get back to me when the NYT hires a pundit like Abunimah, Max Blumenthal, or rehires Chris Hedges. It' ain't gonna happen — cuz Bret Stephens, Douthat and Brooks are squarely within the narrow parameters of respectable, establishment opinion. Nothing else gets in, certainly not as staff.
The value of this site is the extent to which it provides a high profile platform for the diversity not found at The Times. (And the extent to which it reflects and offers what can commonly be found there, this site is less valuable — and even objectionable.)

Isn't that classic whataboutery? What does that have to do with diversity of opinion at the Intercept? Jilani can complain all he wants about the lack of diversity in the regular staff at the NYT, but he is living in a glass house.
At least The New York Times includes a lot of op ed contributors with a diverse background and opinions. Here is an op ed in the New York Times by Marwan Barghouti, April 16, 2017 ("Why We Are on Hunger Strike in Israel's Prisons" https://nyti.ms/2oR1vot). Certainly, the NYT is pro Israel, but at least they post an opposing viewpoint. When is the last time that an Israeli was allowed (or invited) to post an op ed in the Intercept?
Find me a conservative to hire at the Intercept. Thanks Mona.
Isn't that classic whataboutery?
I was first sharing my amusement with your notions of David Brooks, and then moving on to alleged diversity of viewpoint at the NYT. The, you know, actual topic of the above piece.
The actual whataboutery — as is so common from you — came from your seminal post about the Intercept, in comments to an article about the NYT. You seem reluctant to move back to the actual topic.
Thanks Mona.
Mr. Jilani
"………But hiring another prominent writer whose ideology hems close to that of the nation's elites — in this case, fossil fuel corporations who are polluting the world and advocates of Western military might — is hardly adding intellectual diversity to the pages of the Times……"
Come on, Mr. Jilani. You are beating around the bush. Here is your real objection which is far more succinct than what you wrote in your column: Stephens is a neoconservative, pro-Israel, foreign policy hawk. He is also the former Editor in Chief of the Jerusalem Post – a conservative Israeli media outlet. There, isn't that much more clearly expressed?
I think the NYT should have musings about the weather.
That would be consistent with their mission, apparently.
yep, the NYT needs to get even more people in the child-murdering, fascist american boat.
boy the inteercept gets more stupid – and corrupt – by the day.
Excellent idea.
Bring back Chris Hedges, somebody you fired for telling the truth about the invasion of Iraq and who was proved right in every detail about what would happen (unlike any of the mideast correspondents you kept on). Naturally, re-employing Hedges would mean your readers being exposed to unvarnished truths about the corporate coup d'etat at home and US empire overseas… so, probably not.
I wonder if the NYT will re-hire Chris Hedges to implement their new found desire for diversity of opinion.
Beat me to it, sire!
7: Third Party backers.
The Democrat Establishment, in all of its doublespeaking McCarthyist infamy, continues to attack the very essence of democratic elections by trying to intimidate or otherwise scare supporters of third parties into supporting Democrat candidates. Yet there are nearly no major/"mainstream" journalists who have come out in support of third parties' right to exist and participate in the electoral process same as the Democrats and Republicans (Glenn Greenwald might have been the only major journalist who's defended a third party candidate, Jill Stein, against the Dems' undemocratic assaults).
Given that repeated Gallup polls have shown near-majority or majority public support for the idea of third parties, there needs to be more such support in editorial staff. Maybe someone here at The Intercept could consider pointing this out if they write another article like the one above.
I would certainly recommend Matt Taibbi or Marcy Wheeler to their roster. I have been following Emptywheel for quite some time and Ms. Wheeler deserves wider exposure. But I suppose Matt and Marcy are simply not in the NYTs wheelhouse.
"One way to make your supposedly-serious article title sound like clickbait garbage"
"Number 1 will SHOCK you!"
What? There's nothing "shocking" about Jilani's point #1. Granted, it's improbable that a neoliberal, establishment outlet like The Times would add many such individuals — Bernie Sanders supporters — to their roster. But they should, if diversity of viewpoint were what they are after.
Michelle Alexander would certainly be a good choice. Although I'm not certain she should be identified as a Sanders "supporter." As I recall, she didn't endorse him, but rather she cogently set forth why Hillary Clinton was unworthy of African-American votes.
Your bringing up Clarence Thomas made me realize he's a very good example of why identity can be a very useful metric for creating adequate diversity of viewpoint. Those of sufficient age will recall the Senate hearings about the Anita Hill allegations of Thomas's alleged sexual harassment.
This was an ugly public spectacle, one that Thomas referred to as a "high tech lynching." There's a reason an African-American male wold use that particular metaphor.
I frankly was not sympathetic to the Hill supporters, and do not think that even if all she said was true, that it merited that circus or constituted a proper reason to keep Thomas off the High Court (there were reasons, just not that one). Men engaging in sexual banter in the workplace — especially back then — does not necessarily come from an intention to harass; men and women can experience these things differently.
More than once I've found myself explaining to male co-workers that their crude talk and dirty jokes can be unpleasant and even threatening to women; that behavior may not have been such to me, because in these instances the men involved were friends and I understood their perspective and intentions.
But what they were doing was dangerous, something that Human Resources would have been appalled by. They didn't get it until I intervened. My gender was entirely relevant to this dynamic — I got it, they didn't. Therefore I was positioned to alert them to why they had to discontinue that behavior.
Identity can be used wrongly as a rallying cry. It isn't always proper or sufficient for comprehending certain issues. But rather often it is. Which is partially why what Jilani argues above is correct.
The NY Times has shareholders whose economic well-being depends on the paper favoring a certain point of view. Diversity of opinion does not further this goal. Diversity of opinion holders, on the other hand, creates the appearance of unanimity and is therefore useful.
Yes. Creating the ILLUSION of diversity of opinion is an art unto itself.
Creating the illusion that a diversity of people all support the same opinion is the art of the NY Times.
Yes. And this was half of Obama's guiding principles, the other half being cashing out.
this isn't complicated. let's say our goal is diversity of size: we want a staff of diverse heights. a 5′ 6″ employee has just retired. women, in general, are shorter than men. do we therefore look to hire a woman, or do we simply take the most (otherwise) qualified 5′ 6″ individual who applies? if we hold the spot open for a woman, it implies that gender diversity is a goal in addition to size diversity
if our only goal is diversity of thought, then it is only necessary to consider each candidate's public record of expressed thought. the author is using diversity of thought as a pretext to promote diversity of identities
let's say our goal is diversity of size
This explains a lot about the NY Times.
the author is using diversity of thought as a pretext to promote diversity of identities
He's not.
You must be unfamiliar with Zaid Jilani's body of work. He correctly grasps the correlation that often exists between identity and ideological diversity. For reasons illustrated by initial post in this sub-thread, and which your reply does not undermine.
> He correctly grasps the correlation that often exists between identity and ideological diversity.
the entire point of my analogy is to grant the correlation. 'women, in general, are shorter than men.'
you should just admit that, for people like you and jilani, diversity of identities is a goal apart from diversity of thought. the latter can be achieved without any consideration of the former
Excuse you. You are not entitled to tell me what it is that I think. My views are as I've stated them.
the latter can be achieved without any consideration of the former
No. It can't.
To know and understand the issues and facts particular to X, one must listen to some X. While there may be some non-X who are able and willing to speak to the concerns of X, it is very likely that they themselves got their understanding in the first instance from listening to an X or two.
> To know and understand the issues and facts particular to X, one must listen to some X.
obviously. that's the one extremely narrow exception. if we were looking for someone to write mostly about what it's like to be a woman, we would need to hire a woman. if the scotus ruled on nothing but cases that directly affect latinos, we should definitely have at least one – and maybe nine – latinos on the bench. but if we're looking for a liberal jurist, there is absolutely no need to consider the gender or race or ethnicity or religion of the candidates. same goes for a conservative opinion columnist. in these cases, we don't need to consider correlations between identities and opinions; all we need to do is look at the previously expressed opinions of each individual candidate. if we go further and consider the identities of the candidates, it can only be because we wish to (also) select on that basis
that's the one extremely narrow exception.
This reality is neither narrow nor an exception. In our increasingly homogeneous society, a society in which some voices have historically been silenced and/or marginalized, it is critical to now hear these voices. Critical in many areas that impact all manner of policy, domestic and foreign.
There's nothing "narrow" about that. It's a very broadly important necessity.
In our increasingly homogeneous society,
I hate it when I do shit like that. I meant "heterogeneous society."
Mona, I recall the hearings in 1991, watched/listened to most of it and we actually discussed the proceedings in a college class at the time.
Let's be a bit more accurate here – Clarence Thomas said, "This is just a high-tech lynching…of an uppity nigger." You left that last part out, which spoke more to Thomas' attempt to turn the S.C. selection process in his case into not about gender bias or his sexual harassment of Anita Hill – but about race – in one fell swoop. He knew it would have shock value and it accomplished just what it was intended for.
I completely disagree with your analysis — and I was first year law student at the time, and we certainly discussed it as well. I agree with much of this — tho not all.
Unless I missed it, I didn't see a single reference in that article's page to Thomas' "high-tech lynching of an uppity nigger" statement. It was mostly supposedly the Dems wanting to oppose him on his anti-Affirmative Action stance, which would be contrary to his apparent belief in regressive racism in the country – if he thought he was the "uppity nigger" being discriminated against then why would he oppose AA? Nor does the article say much about your assertion on the Anita Hill issue.
It's obfuscation and disingenuous revision of history as far as I'm concerned.
It's Salena Zito, not Saleno.
Great article, I hope readers will share it far and wide.
If he would deign to accept, The Intercept's own Glenn Greenwald would cover several of those philosophical blocks, assuming there aren't contractual or conflict of interest issues.
I would however recommend skepticism of Reza Aslan. The man is an opportunistic con who has found a successful niche as an acceptable apologist. Linda Sarsour is a far better candidate not only for issues relating to Muslim representation and civil rights in America, but was an active and skilled advocate of Bernie during the primary.
NYT will not admit far right views onto its comments pages. Pre-mod is there to prevent contrasting opinion before it even appears in print. That's fear, apprehension that it doesn't have the arguments to carry a debate.
It is an echo chamber filled with progressive liberals whose egos aren't fulfilled unless their portraits appear next to their names, peering over their eyeglasses on lanyards into the camera.
That's fear, apprehension that it doesn't have the arguments to carry a debate.
No. The NYT doesn't "fear" the Alex Jones cohort. They fear being regarded as a cesspool of inanity. More so than most, the NYT cares about appearances.
They could hire Chris Hedges back.
The role of the NY Times is to eliminate diversity of thought. Herding cats doesn't work very well.
The NY Times' problem is that others have honed in on their territory and are breaking off pieces of the herd. Adding diversity will just make it easier for others to abscond with sizable chunks of their readership. They must therefore eliminate any hint of diversity and hope to hang onto a sizable portion of the main herd. Otherwise, the New York Times becomes irrelevant (if it isn't so already).
The NYT is still a very good source of news.
'diversity of thought' does not translate to 'representative of america'. if we're looking for the latter, we select people based on the body of their work, without regard to personal characteristics. the two are conflated by those who are really more interested in diversity of 'identities' than viewpoints
1. Bernie Sanders Backers
2. Donald Trump Supporters
3. Young People
4. Arab and Muslim Americans
5. Opponents of Militarism
Scientists and Environmentalists
"the two are conflated by those who are really more interested in diversity of 'identities' than viewpoints."
If you don't think identity has a huge impact on viewpoint, you're not thinking deeply or clearly.
if you know an individual's race or gender or age, can you predict with certainty their opinion on any particular topic, or even their general worldview? NO. if you believe that blacks think like blacks, or women think like women, then you're a racist or a sexist. and even in cases where we can predict with a great degree of confidence, there is still no reason to consider personal characteristics if the goal is diversity of thought; it is only necessary to consider each individual applicant's public record of expressed thought. therefore, if personal characteristics are considered, it is not for the purpose of achieving diversity of thought
There's a difference between a rigid identitarianism and understanding that identity is also important. Latinas such as Sotomayor on SCOTUS aren't important for their skin color per se, but rather because being a LatinX is American culture teaches one things useful to know when considering balances of power and reality in deciding cases.
It isn't an accident that older white males skew deeply conservative, pro-corporation, pro-authority and nationalist. Nor is it coincidental that a black female is more likely to be clear-eyed about struggles of blacks and women. That is, identities do add information necessary to determining just and appropriate polices.
Blacks such as Thomas on SCOTUS aren't important for their skin color per se, but rather because being a BlackX is American culture teaches one things useful to know when considering balances of power and reality in deciding cases.
Ok, and? Did you know that a small number of Jews supported Adolph Hitler until the Nazis came to put them in camps? Did you know there are nearly always a few nuts in every cohort who run counter to the general rule? (I'm not saying Thomas is a nut; but he identifies in many ways with the system that oppresses black people.)
It remains generally true that identity gives information to people that is useful for determining fair, realistic and just policies.
we're not talking about public policies. we're talking about selecting individuals for an organization (such as the nyt) with the goal of diversity of thought
[correction in my original comment: 'if we're looking for the former']
We are, in fact, entirely talking about public policies! The purpose of diversity of thought is to be well-informed about issues of public policy, to promote good public choices.
These go hand-in-glove.
That's false.
NYT is a joke for idiot liberals. They whine about climate change then show recipes for cow burgers. The cognitive dissonance on that site is unreal. They can rot for all I care.
Its ok, ACd is happening whether you like it or not. WethePeople 35th Constitution word: LIBERTY,LIBERATE, LIBERAL. OLD AND GRUMPY ARE YOU.
By "diversity" they meant diversity within the ranks of billionaires and their lackeys, not among the great unwashed…
It's kind of amazing that "diversity" within the overton window of corporate media includes Bret Stephens but not Bernie Sanders supporters or anti-war activists.
": The American Conservative's Daniel Larison, Foreign Policy's Stephen Walt, or the Council on Foreign Relations' Micah Zenko would all be good picks."
Given only the most mainstream of supposedly anti-militarists might be something the NYT could do but won't. Let's go a step further and add some names that truly represent rational thinking that includes a critical stance on US militarism, such as Kathy Kelly, Paul Street, Robert Parry, Ron Urie or Glenn Greenwald.
I mean if you are going to ask for the impossible, make it worth the having.
Couldn't you come up with any more interesting Muslim names besides a woman that tweets how wonderful Sharia law is or Aslan (he's actually a creative writing Prof, not religion)?
Even the laziest attempt at nearing accuracy would've clarified Aslan's background for you…..his formal training background in religious studies is extensive.
Nice try. His Phd is in sociology. He has a Masters in creative writing. He is a Professor of creative writing, not religion.
What did I say that was not accurate?
Aslan holds multiple degrees including degrees in theology.
Aslan's degrees include a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies from Santa Clara University (Major focus: New Testament; Minor: Greek), a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard University (Major focus: History of Religions), a PhD in the Sociology of Religions from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa, where he was named the Truman Capote Fellow in Fiction
Your characterization of Bret Stephens is beyond silly. After your first article denouncing him, I went and read more of his stuff. He is a very insightful, well-reasoned guy. That he is not a fan of Militant Islam puts him in the same boat as the majority of Americans (and the majority of Muslims). That he steadfastly rejects AGW alarmism also puts him in the mainstream of the public, but NOT the mainstream of journalists. In other words, he is precisely the kind of diversity– diversity of thought– the NYT needs. Hiring him increases their credibility substantially.
As for your other recommendations in this piece, I agree with all but the notion that the NYT needs more environmentalists. Everyone there (Stephens excepted) already attends daily mass at the church of environmentalism. No need for more of the same.
Since many people will immediately boil with righteous indignation that I dare to question the Lord Environment Almighty… But they have never once bothered to seek out a dissenting view on AGW alarmism… Here is your opportunity to read a bit of reason from a real live scientist who has the courage to stand up to the Enviro Inquisition and speak truth to power(fully well-funded, brain-washed idiots): http://merionwest.com/2017/04/25/richard-lindzen-thoughts-on-the-public-discourse-over-climate-change/
. He is a very insightful, well-reasoned guy.
His is a mediocre mind. Scientists began canceling their subscriptions in droves after his dumb piece on climate change. Not that Stephens' column was especially dangerous to truth; it was a pile of poorly reasoned bilge.
Anyway, Jilani's argument about what real intellectual diversity would look like is quite sound, and it isn't Bret Stephens. Further, from whatever ideological perspective the writer is drawn, the choice for "the paper of record" should be above mediocre, which is all they got in Stephens.
Publishing some select nuggets from Mr. Greenwald such as this would be welcome. Exploding heads may ensue.
Here is an article that looks at one of the major difficulties facing the New York Times:
It looks like the mainstream media will find it increasingly difficult to increase profitability.
Pretty good article, Mr. Jilani. I'm sure that the NYT will be receptive to all these suggestions toward diversifying their opinion-shaping stable of dead horses. /s/
One suggested correction:
But hiring another prominent writer whose ideology hems close to that of the nation's elites –
"Hems" should read "hews".
As someone who has tried to place content that critiques our wars in the Times, I can tell you that they are entirely not interested. Their two prongs seem to be "if it bleeds, it leads" and adulation of servicemen.
How about this, why not try writing articles relevant to your areas of expertise rather than the usual social justice warrior advice, if you don't like what NYT says or does…don't read it
If you don't like what Zaid writes. Don't read it. This could go on forever. Every single thing written, some genius can scratch his head and say hey, you know what? If you don't like it, don't read it. Civilization will peak then, all will find themselves in continuous wonder in contemplation of our deepest truth, if you don't like it, don't read it.
So on one hand your saying i cant say if you dont like it dont read it? but you finish with telling me not to read it…ok lol
Civilization will peak then- this quote is why people from outside the left loath people of the elite left.
FYI: In my country i would be considered "left wing"

Here's an interactive LEDcoffee table that refuses to simply table your coffee—it twinkles and sparkles, reacting to movement.The Wave uses 32 near-infrared sensors which observe the space above the table, and any motion detected is mimicked with trails of light and color from 480 LEDs. The price starts at $1,895.
The Pong table is a dining table made from DuPont Corian with an aluminum base. There are 2500 LEDs integrated into the table top, together with two track pads they recreate the classic Pong game. When turned off, the integrated technology disappears completely, leaving a simple, beautiful and practical dining table.

Pizza Hut's Un-American Hot Dog Stuffed-Crust Pizza
Pizza Hut has expanded its hot dog stuffed-crust pizza, first popularized in outlets throughout Asia, to the UK. The Pizza Hut UK site offers the snappy, sausage stuffed crust for delivery in the 14-inch "large" size only.
Gizmodo was first to post the news, exclaiming "I can't believe this hot dog stuffed-crust isn't American." Honestly, I feel exactly the opposite. I can't imagine that Americans would tolerate this sort of repurposing of one of our culinary national treasures. Exploring that theory a little further, I asked our resident hot dog expert Hawk Krall if he had ever eaten or spied any pizza-themed hot dogs. His response: "The best pizza-themed hot dogs I've ever seen (but not tasted) are these crazy, crazy (polynesian bacon-wrapped ham/pineapple/marinara/sriracha dog?!?!) things from Tubby Dog in Canada." AH HA, Canada! Exactly.
You find more un-orthodox hot dog treatment in Europe and Asia. Like Spaniards making hot dogs and tomato sauce pasta, blech! (That really happens. I know because I have been served it.)
Personally, I just can't get behind a pizza and hot dog combo. And those that have dared, have regretted it. Plus, mustard on pizza? Boo! When I asked Hawk if he would try it he said:
I would try it, but I'd be more interested in something smarter like a New Jersey Italian-style hot dog pizza stuffed with really good natural casing dogs and topped with peppers, onions and potatoes. Or the even more over-the top stuff Pizza Hut does in Korea and Japan with mini-hot-dog crusts you can pull off and dip into sauces. Those look really good!!
Remember the Korean 'Royal Crust' Pizza?! No? Well, check it out here:
If any UK Slice'rs out there try the new stuffed-crust, you'll have to report back. I have to admit a perverse interest in at least knowing what one of these pies would taste like. Would anyone else try 'em?

Cars can offer open invitations to criminals
Receipts can be tempting target for identity thieves
Police said too many people leave themselves vulnerable to criminals this time of year, simply by what they leave visible in their parked cars.
Sgt. Trevor Ballard of the Riverside Police Department walked through the lot of the Red X store, demonstrating how many valuable items had been left in plain sight.
"These are just an open glass container, basically, that anybody can look in and see," Ballard said.
One of the first cars he checked had a radio that was easy for a thief to grab and re-sell.
"Criminals like targets of opportunity," Ballard said. "If you let them take advantage of you, they will do it. Don't make it easier for them."
In less than 20 minutes, Ballard spotted nearly a dozen vehicles with what he called targets, including purses and receipts with sensitive information. He said an identity thief can use a receipt to cause a lot of damage.
"Things of value, things with names, things with dates of birth, Social Security numbers, (there are) all kinds of valuable, sensitive information," he said.
While the risk is big enough with a locked car, Ballard said the belongings are a particularly tempting target in cars with the locks and windows open.

At the end of 2009, around the time that the National Trust acquired Seaton Delaval Hall, we also purchased this set of enamel miniatures, dubbed the Fairfax Jewel, which has a historical connection to the house. The miniatures were painted by Pierre Bordier, a seventeenth-century Huguenot artist.
The purchase of the Fairfax Jewel was funded by generous grants from the Art Fund and Sir Siegmund Warburg's Voluntary Settlement.
The enamels were originally set into a gold watchcase which was presented to the Parliamentarian general Sir Thomas Fairfax, 3rd Baron Fairfax, after his victory against the royalist forces at Naseby in 1645. One of the enamels depicts that victory.
The back of it has been painted with Fairfax on his horse Chessnut while the battle rages in the background.
Ironically, the way Fairfax is shown is modelled on equestrian portraits of Charles I by Van Dyck – the political divide between Parliament and the King clearly didn't prevent them from using the same iconography.
The Jewel was later owned by Horace Walpole and kept as part of his antiquarian collection at Strawberry Hill. It was subsequently acquired by Sir Jacob Astley, 6th Baronet, recognised as the 16th Baron Hastings in 1841 and who inherited Seaton Delaval. By this time the miniatures had been set into the present plaque.
The Astleys had been on the royalist side in the Civil War, but as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries Lord Hastings let his historical interests prevail over his family allegiance.
Other posts about Seaton Delaval can be found here.

Game Wardens Offer Reward in 'Stupid Waste of Wildlife' | News
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Southern Nevada game wardens are putting up a $1,000 reward in hopes of finding who killed three deer in an apparent thrill kill.
Officials with the Nevada Department of Wildlife say two does and a fawn were shot and left near the Cold Creek community northwest of Las Vegas on Jan. 25. The location is about six miles away from the High Desert State Prison in Indian Springs.
Authorities say a game warden who came to the scene found one of the deer still alive, but its back legs were paralyzed by a bullet and the warden had to euthanize it.
Nevada chief game warden Rob Buonamici says the act was "a cruel and stupid waste of wildlife" and apparently happened at night, which is an additional crime.

In summer, daytime temperatures can exceed 29 °C (84 °F) anytime in June, July and August, and occasionally as late as September or as early as May. As a consequence of Calgary's high elevation and aridity, summer evenings tend to cool off.
Calgary has the warmest winters of all the major prairie cities, based on the average nighttime temperatures from December to February. The climate is greatly influenced by the city's elevation and proximity to the Rocky Mountains.

The Houston Dynamo advanced to the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 2-0 win over FC Tucson on Wednesday night at BBVA Compass Stadium. Alex Dixon and Giles Barnes provided the goals as the Dynamo eliminated FC Tucson in the Premier Development League club's first Open Cup journey.
The Dynamo will meet FC Dallas in the fourth round of the Open Cup on June 12 at FC Dallas Stadium. It will be the first time the Texas rivals meet in the U.S. Open Cup since 2006, when Houston earned a 3-0 home win in the quarterfinals.
Houston's opening goal arrived in the 26th minute. Rookie forward Jason Johnson played a ball to the feet of defender Mike Chabala near the end line. Chabala provided a first-touch cross to Dixon, who buried his shot from six yards for the opening goal.
Barnes entered as a substitute in the 72nd minute and doubled Houston's lead 13 minutes later. The English attacker curled a free kick from 25 yards over the FC Tucson wall and into the right side of the goal for a 2-0 lead.
- It was Barnes' team-leading fifth goal in all competitions this season.
- Dynamo Homegrown Player Bryan Salazar made his professional debuting, starting at forward and playing 60 minutes.
- Dynamo rookie defender Anthony Arena also made his professional debut, starting at center back and playing 90 minutes to help keep a clean sheet.
- Houston goalkeeper Tyler Deric earned his first career U.S. Open Cup shutout and win.
- It was also Dixon's first career Open Cup goal.
- It was Chabala's eighth career assist in all competitions with the Dynamo. He is now tied with Eddie Robinson for 14th on the franchise list.
- The defeat ends an impressive Open Cup run for FC Tucson. Founded in 2010, the club joined the Premier Development League in 2012 and qualified for the 2013 Open Cup in their first season of eligibility. FC Tucson defeated Phoenix FC (USL Pro) and the San Antonio Scorpions (NASL) to reach the third round.

Monticello Update: Siler said yesterday Bob Lutz's best bet with the CTS-V was to rip past Siler in Monticello's long straight. One slight problem with — Monticello's dropped a take-it-in-first-gear chicane to cleave that long straight in two. Advantage: Jalopnik.
Secondly, there's standing water on the track. Advantage: Jalopnik.
Hmm, maybe the Evo — the people's car — was the better choice after all. We'll see. Siler's out practicing as we speak.

Spring Sandals From Piperlime
My Sandal Survival Guide
Aimee Song, author of the popular blog Song of Style, is the newest Piperlime guest editor in partnership with POPSUGAR. She will be sharing her favorite trends, style tips, Piperlime picks, and how-tos right here on POPSUGAR Fashion.
Get your pedicures ready ladies, it's sandal season! I'm so excited to share my go-to style advice on the sandals you will need to survive the weather once the temps heat up. Here's what I will be wearing this Spring and through Summer . . .
Something Metallic
The snake wrap ankle design on these metallic Cocobelle sandals is a fun and funky detail that will add flair to any outfit. Make sure to roll up your denim or wear a cropped pant so as not to cover up the best part! Mix and match any colored top, but not to worry — the focus will be on your feet!
A Sliver Wedge
I love wedges because they are both effortless and comfortable. Sam Edelman wedges offer style and comfort, and the mix of neutrals and textures gives your look an edge. Pair them with a casual shirtdress from Viva Vena.
A Beach Sandal
And of course, one of the must-have sandals this Summer is for the beach! These Joie flats are easy to slip on, yet have more to them than your typical beach flip-flops. Style them with a breezy Free People top and pastel shorts like these from Blank Denim for a casual beach outfit.
A Pop of Color
A colorful pair of sandals is a must — they quickly brighten up an outfit. I especially like these Tibi heels. Wear them with your favorite pair of colored jeans by Big Star or Sanctuary during the day and slip on a dress to take you into night.
I have a lot more style tricks up my sleeve for Spring and Summer, so keep coming back for more Style Shortcuts and shop all my picks at Piperlime.com.

I'm having trouble with a math induction problem. I've been doing other proofs (summations of the integers etc) but I just can't seem to get my head around this.
Q. Prove using induction that $n^2 \leq n!$
So, assume that $P(k)$ is true: $k^2 \leq k!$
Prove that $P(k+1)$ is true: $(k+1)^2 \leq (k+1)!$
I know that $(k+1)! = (k+1)k!$ so: $(k+1)^2 \leq (k+1)k!$ but where can I go from here?
Any help would be much appreciated.
