[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tweet from Nate silver:

"Yeah, this is probably right. Actuarially speaking, there are lot more nobodies than somebodies.

Also, people who are like "the NYT would NEVER publish it unless it's someone BIG" should remember that this is the NYT op-ed page, which has much laxer standards than the newsroom."

Thoughts?[/quote]

this piece is HUGE but ONLY if it is written by someone important.

we all know that there are many nobodies working in the WH who loath trump. there have been many many leaks to confirm this. the only (huge) value of this piece comes from a claim that [i]someone with an actual power to subvert[/i] the president is doing it. if this turns out to be some random wh aide nobody has heard of it would really stain NYT.[/quote]

The author is not a nobody.  No way, the Times plays that game.  The institutional risk is too big. The author is important and this is HUGE.[/quote]

PP here and i agree. i don't think NYT would publish a nobody the way nate silver is suggesting. and yeah, being an 'appointee' doesn't really cut it. this must be a person known to everyone who follows politics. [/quote]
