I on the other hand like The Free Press. I do get the irony. IтАЩd like to hear Bari tell us why the Thomas Paine тАШCommon SenseтАЩ was used and abandoned.
Seems to me that the word "common" was the selling point. Whether her views were correct or incorrect, the banality of Bari Weiss (juxtaposed against other things) has been her selling point, and remains so unless I'm missing something.
I didn't understand it that way; perhaps you are correct. I understood it to be a breaker-away from the hive "mind" at The Times; by that standard it's a disappointment. But by their fruits ye shall know them; the guests can be pretty good and all engender some interesting conversation.
The irony of this post is that "The Free Press" used to be called "Common Sense".
I liked the original better.

Agreed - common should be in the tagline
