We see right through your “opinion” and raise you an “agenda.”

On Wednesday, The New York Times editorial board turned into a political action committee and took over the NYT Opinion account on Twitter to openly oppose the GOP tax plan and urge voters to reject it in order to protect the Obamacare tax penalty.
While the NYT likes to claim itself politically neutral and even declared publicly that it’s wrong for private organizations to push partisan agendas, the editorial board found a safe space in its “opinion” account to do some quick lobbying — not that they have an agenda or anything:
This morning, The New York Times Editorial Board is tweeting here to urge the Senate to reject a tax bill that hurts the middle class & the nation's fiscal health. #thetaxbillhurts
Your individual tax cuts will go away after 2025. But the big cut in corporate tax rates will be permanent. #thetaxbillhurts
Up to 13 million people could lose their health insurance and premiums will go up about 10% a year for the next decade. #thetaxbillhurtsnytimes.com/2017/11/24/opi…pic.twitter.com/ZDXm7KV2da
Despite what GOP senators have said, there will be no economic boom. The bill would boost the economy by less than 1% over 10 years. #thetaxbillhurtsnytimes.com/2017/11/25/opi…pic.twitter.com/GvEuxyBjhK
Now is the time to contact senators, if you haven’t done so already, about this tax cut plan. Find yours here: senate.gov/senators/conta… #thetaxbillhurtspic.twitter.com/cNYsE6Rjrl
Don't let Trump's tweets of Islamophobic conspiracy theories distract you. Call your senator and tell him or her that #thetaxbillhurts. Find contact information here: nyti.ms/2BvoCZj
Contact @SenatorCollins, (202) 224-2523, particularly if you live in Maine, and ask her to oppose the Senate tax bill because it would repeal Obamacare's individual mandate, driving up the cost of health insurance. #thetaxbillhurts
The tax plan favors red states over blue states, threatening to permanently poison our political system. #thetaxbillhurtsnyti.ms/2joh326
The Editorial Board is urging @SenBobCorker to vote against the Senate tax bill because it would increase the federal deficit by more than $1.4 trillion. He’s said he would vote against the bill if it added “one penny to the deficit.” Contact him and tell him #thetaxbillhurts
The NYT Editorial Board is urging Senators to vote against the tax bill. Oklahoma’s @SenatorLankford is a key vote. Contact him and tell him why #thetaxbillhurts
Thank you for listening to the Editorial Board on why #thetaxbillhurts, and alerting the Senate to your concerns. We're now back to regular programming here, with our mix of op-eds, columns, videos and more.
At least they’re "hiding" out in the open now.
