The point, Keller wrote, "is not that we should begin recruiting reporters and editors for their political outlook; it is part of our professional code that we keep our political views out of the paper. The point is that we want a range of experience. We have a recruiting committee that tracks promising outside candidates, and that committee has already begun to consider ways to enrich the variety of backgrounds of our reporters and editors. "First and foremost we hire the best reporters, editors, photographers and artists in the business. But we will make an extra effort to focus on diversity of religious upbringing and military experience, of region and class." This is just like the gobblety-gook that proponents of affirmative action spout. Yes, we aim for diversity. No, we never actually set goals, because that would be a quota system, and we can't have that. It's nice, I guess to hear Keller state that it's the NYT's professional code to keep its reporters views out of the news. Now it would really nice if they tried it.
