Eugene will be missed by the rational readers. I haven’t seen a huge difference in the opinions section, but the headline writers definitely give deference to Trump. As just one example, the WaPo headline on the stock market response to Trump’s tariffs was that stocks fell. The NYT headline was that markets plunge from shock. There’s quite a difference in meaning between stocks fall and stocks plunge.
