Um, did everyone not notice that #PaulKrugman was and is a garbage centrist econ pundit, and his cockamamie opinions, coupled with his influence on The Democratic Party's policy positions, were responsible for leading us to this hellscape?

His quitting the New York TImes is not newsworthy. The New York Times made its political shift to the right ages ago, and Krugman fit right in.

#PaulKrugman about leaving the #NewYorkTimes -- felt pressure to write "false equivalence":

“I’ve always been very, very lightly edited on the column,” he said. “And that stopped being the case. The editing became extremely intrusive. It was very much toning down of my voice, toning down of the feel, and a lot of pressure for what I considered false equivalence.” And, increasingly, attempts “to dictate the subject.”
