The New York Times is reporting on the resignation of Howell Raines, the Executive Editor of the New York Times, here. The new Executive Editor is the old Executive Editor, Joseph Lelyveld, who promoted to reporter the guy whose sloppy reporting caused this resignation. Got that?

I know the Blair fiasco got Raines fired, but does this mean the leftward drift of the Times will stop, or will it continue unabated? I have no idea, but I bet the blogosphere will have something to say about that soon.
