Partisanship is committing to a party; it is signing up with a team; it is taking sides. That is binary.

Don't confuse that with having an ideology or a commitment to certain ideas.

You can be partisan (or have an ideology) and still be trustworthy, but the trouble with that is, you actually have to be trustworthy.

I'd rather compare the NYT with The Economist on this point.
