If I published on Substack somewhere a post with the title, "Guest Essay Arguing that the New York Times Opinion Section is Close Minded Has Been Rejected by — You Guessed it — the New York Times!" the eye rolls in the Times office would be immediate, and if the smirking, eye-rolling editor even gave a thought to it, that first thought would be: "the great majority of essays submitted blind to the Times opinion section are rejected. There's no irony here— and no surprise."
