Post Editor Ends Tweets as New Guidelines Are Issued

This is just ridiculous:

When using these networks, nothing we do must call into question the impartiality of our news judgment. We never abandon the guidelines that govern the separation of news from opinion, the importance of fact and objectivity, the appropriate use of language and tone, and other hallmarks of our brand of journalism.

The crusade by news execs to always maintain impartiality is just absurd. A story is always partial no matter what you do to it. To not let staff members have a personality and outside opinion is just a weird desire in my eyes. Allow them to have and express opinions, it’s what makes the news interesting.
