Agree, nothing negative there, really, at least not systematically. The NYT is a different matter, but it has become a bit of a parody of itself.

But, as I say, it has become a bit of a parody with its unbalanced opinion pieces.
But I think what you mean is the NYT, CNN and CNBC are critical about Brexit and this is unpatriotic.

We should not romanticize her era. The queen helped obscure a bloody history of decolonization whose proportions and legacies have yet to be adequately acknowledged.Comment

Timing is everything.
