Obvious point: Should distinguish between “independent” rulemaking agencies–that basically make laws–and agencies “created to perform executive functions (ie administer laws). The SEC and FCC are examples of the former, not the latter, no? https://t.co/eu5EqMxTAE 1/

They obviously don’t want it to turn into the Village Voice of the 1960s–I think it was the 60s, maybe the 70s–which famously became a bulletin board for writers attacking each other. But surely @nytimes editors have enough control to stop that from happening.
