No, I think the tone of Fox is quite different! I don't think the Times is anti-Harvard; it's so Harvard-identified it felt obligated to take down the president of Harvard in the belief that it would immunize Harvard from the kinds of right-wing attacks the Times was abetting.

Maybe a different standard could be applied to niche and/or internal publications. For a generalist publication like the Times we can just take the angle (negative towards progressives) and volume (enormous) of coverage at face value. Anything else is, to me, mental gymnastics.
