I think this is why they put the Op-Ed behind TimesSelect. There is no way to compete on general news because of the internet. Still the problem of opinions is one of exposure, and NYT is losing it. Wonder if TV News will follow the same course? Right now you see a lot of "investigative reporting" because it is cheap to produce, but perhaps that is next.
