AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
Back in February, I submitted a letter to the editor of the New York Times objecting to how I was often labelled as a "conservative" even as liberal law professors did not receive that label. The Times did not publish the letter, so I posted it on the blog. I thought that was the end of the matter, but I was wrong. Patrick Healy, is the assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, reached out to me. He was starting a newsletter and podcast that responds to reader concerns. We spoke for about fifteen minutes about this issue.
