14. Peter Baker was the one who resulted in my canceling my digital sub.

His demeanor is much like Mike Johnson's. He'd write all of these pro-Trump, whataboutism op/eds...not as bad as Fox News or Newsmax, but a lot like the style of Katy Tur on MSNBC. You'd be reading and go "HUH?" And he was a frequent guest on MSNBC, which made me like him even less. When I dropped the sub I wrote that I was doing so over Baker...not that they cared, of course, but I did tell them.
