In Seoul, two were detained by the police at an arcade after they were accused of stealing, a Times spokeswoman said. The Times is an object of obsession because of its unusual, perhaps unhealthy, central place in American news, culture and politics. I think it’s a sign that The Times’ unique position in American news may not be tenable. That high profile may have led to the leak of The Times’ internal response to the Peru trip to The Daily Beast. The questions about The Times’ identity and political leanings are real; the differences inside the newsroom won’t be easily resolved.
