"The elephant in the newsroom is our narrowness. Too 
    often, we wear liberalism on our sleeve and are 
    intolerant of other lifestyles and opinions. . . . We're 
    not very subtle about it at this paper: If you work here, 
    you must be one of us. You must be liberal, progressive, 
    a Democrat. I've been in communal gatherings in The Post, 
    watching election returns, and have been flabbergasted to 
    see my colleagues cheer unabashedly for the Democrats."
