Again I ask: Why does Maureen Dowd still have a job at the New York Times?

Her tendency for lazy writing ("journalism" doesn't apply) reaches an all-time low with today's output ("column" doesn't apply). Don't bother reading it, let me just summarize: Riffing off all the mumbling re contentious Thanksgiving political talk, she turns things over to her hyper-conservative brother Kevin, for a Trump=Good/Clinton=Bad extravaganza. Absolutely stomach-turning.

What NYT editorial supervisor thought this right-wing hit job was a good idea? And once again: Why does Dowd still work there?

They turn out to vote AGAINST some thing rather then for it.

They are motivated by negativity

Any writer who can get people to read her, and discuss her on the internet, is a valuable asset these days.
