Anyone interested in why real journalism in America is fast becoming a corpse has only to look at Exhibit A this week -- the stench of the New York Times letting Nate Silver go. For being right.

I read the article you linked to and another one she wrote days later and the impression I got was that Nate Silver left the NYTimes because he received a better offer from ESPN; that it was never a comfortable fit at the Times for him; and, that while some journalists at the times may not be sorry to see him go some others would be; that the top brass at the times wanted him to stay.

Is it your argument actually that the New York Times didn't try hard enough to persuade him to stay?
