I mean, it's not a scam, it's just right wing propaganda. The whole "main stream media" deal is just an attempt to pull outlets to the right. They can't argue the facts of climate change or voter fraud or immigration, so instead they appeal to "bias" to push outlets to not challenge them. I'm not saying the Times was ever a progressive bastion but at one point it might have at least been centrist before everyone bought what Fox News was selling.

The New York Times has been pure shit since the W years when they pushed Iraq war propaganda.

Trump is an evil moron, but he's right about one thing, our media is full of shills and liars.

The crazy part is they are lying and shilling for the right, while being called "leftist", it's a fantastic lie that has been propagated.

I think people are confused about what the "Opinion" page is. While i disagree with him, why would the times be accountable for opinion pieces?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Are you saying they don't pay him? This isn't a letter to the editor you know.

Because they publish it and promote the opinion?

I noted it in another thread, but this is the tale of two class traitors. These guys are extremely threatened and confused as to why one of the good class traitors (the CEO that went from working class to killing workers for profit) is reviled while the bad class traitor (a rich kid murdering that CEO) is lauded. Obviously from their perspective it should be the opposite.

So when you search for this the top result is r/neoliberal. TIL there's a neoliberal subreddit.

And it's a shit opinion to have.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago

And more than likely the times already have had an opinion pieces with the other side of the argument. But boo times cause they don't edit the OPINION page to my liking.

Luigi murdered one person.

Brian murdered thousands.

That's all you need to know to compare the two.

If you want a more interesting less ragebait take this is probably better:

The one time the headline on a Bret Stephens piece convinced me he might not always be insane the first three sentences of the article relieved me of that thought as quickly as it had formed.

I don't think that man is ever in full possession of his faculties.

NYT hasn’t been progressive for a long time. It’s just taken a while for everyone to notice.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Has the NYT ever been progressive? At times they've brought some very good journalism, but I have the impression that they've always been firmly on the side of big business.

A few years ago I had seen a very old (about 1920 I think) NYT article posted on Reddit in which they completely misrepresented what had happened when the powers that be attacked strikers. A straight up hit piece against the strikers & it was not an opinion article. So back then they were firmly on the side of big business, but without any of the journalistic integrity that the paper is now known for.

The only way that I can think of that someone might consider the NYT as a progressive paper, is if factual reporting is considered leftwing/progressive, which is only a relatively recent development in the USA.
