#1 If you can hold your nose long enough. Still fish wrap to me.

#2 It's strange, but I find that the in-depth articles from the NYT, WaPo, and LAT are often pretty "fair and balanced." 90% of the content of these stories seems to be written by reporters in the field. The really skewed to the left content consists of the hot news items and "instant analysis" that have been compiled from a number of sources (stringers, news services, etc.) and heavily redacted by editors.

All of which is in agreement with my life experiences. If you want to move up in an institution, it's not enough to be good at what you do. You gotta buy in, too. Play golf, adopt the prevailing world view, vote for the right candidates, distort the news in favor of leftist opinions, whatever. Only when things get really screwed up can a Churchill or a Sherman rise to the top.

#3 I just thought they must have had great courage.

I'd be ashamed to say I had to go to Ellis Island to figure this out, unless I was younger than 16.
