From my perspective, I doubt that will make a change toward journalistic integrity at the NYTimes.
I believe they have made a conscious decision, like much of the MSM to move toward "bothsiderisms", instead of actually reporting news and facts. That alone accounts for a right wing shift.
This all started when bernard goldberg pushed his "liberal media" bullshit in his book Bias, which was embraced by fox, while others in the MSM moved toward reporting both sides do it when covering their stories.
Ironically, there is very little evidence of a "liberal media" today, and in fact there is a lot of evidence of a right wing media and bias. When 90% of the airwaves are dominated by conservative viewpoints, it should be no surprise we are where we are today.
It is all about money, and that is where they believe the money is, not with reporting the news.
