Indeed Mike, how dare you accuse the august NYT of being influenced by so-called "class privilege". That's ridiculous. The New York Times is not biased and publishes op-eds solely based on their individual merits. The opinions contained within have nothing to do with the "privileges" their authors may have or not have.

Pff. Pretty soon you'll be suggesting that the fact that 83% of their columnists are men and that 92% are white has something to do with gender and race "privilege". And after that, what. Are you going to suggest that gender and race affect viewpoint as well? Are you going to suggest that there's some sort of class gap on Wikipedia too? Utter tosh. I hope you don't intend on editing any Wikipedia articles based on these ridiculous assertions.
