It is funny how the WSJ is so much more openly ruling class, whereas the NYT tries to hide it a bit.

Yeah, its a bit obvious when the WSJ weekly real estate section is called "Mansion", no beating around the bush.

meanwhile, the post is aghast that the CEO of a major media organization spent . . . $2.7m on a 'sprawling' brooklyn townhouse

I just looked up some currently-for-sale $2.7M NYC townhouses in a real estate database, and their square footage is roughly equivalent to that of my cramped Maryland single-family home.

I do find something kind of quid-aggy about the new NPR CEO, like she's this rich white lady from Connecticut who has perfectly memorized the Ibram Kendi/Robin DiAngelo talking points but it rings hollow.
