Dean Baquet, the top editor at the NYTimes, was on a SXSW panel yesterday, as noted by Politico. As part of it, he addressed whether he considered Breitbart News a journalistic competitor:
"Breitbart? Not so obvious. I'm not convinced," said Baquet, because "they're not in an honorable pursuit of the truth. They're propaganda." Nonetheless: "I look at them everyday."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton both are slated to speak on the Wednesday of the Democratic convention — Aug. 19 — four sources familiar with the planning told Axios.
Why it matters: That's the same night Joe Biden's running mate (to be revealed next week) will address the nation. Clinton and Warren represent two of the most influential wise-women of Democratic politics with the potential to turn out millions of establishment and progressive voters in November.
