On Thursday, New York Times CEO Mark Thompson stopped by CNBC’s Power Lunch to discuss the paper’s subscription numbers since the election and hilariously argued that the newspaper doesn’t display a liberal bias because “we aim to be objective and to tell people straightforwardly what's happening.”

The extensive interview began first with a discussion of the site’s growth in subscribers that Thompson refused to label as exclusively liberal or entirely from certain pockets of the country.
