New York Times op-ed page editor David Shipley and former Clinton administration foreign policy official James Rubin are going to Bloomberg News to "lead a new Editorial Page called the Bloomberg View which will publish columns and commentary," the wire announced.
"There is an urgent need for ideology-free, empirically-based editorial positions about the pressing issues of our time, and we plan to deliver them," Mr. Rubin said in the press release.
I'd settle for some ideology-free news coverage and polls, never mind opinion, but I wish them the best of luck. It says something about dynamism and capitalism that someone would leave the op-ed editorship of the New York Times to go start something at Bloomberg.
