The New York Times ratfucking operation in favor of Trump is so incredibly blatant that it’s beyond parody.
If you saw ratfucking like this coming from a newspaper in a movie, you’d probably think it was a bit over the top.
I'm sometimes torn whether it's a manifestation of reactionary centrism or just the alleged snubbing and resentment of the entitled nepo baby publisher. Or just clicks and not learning the correct lessons from 2016.
Joe Biden is fucking boring, which doesn’t sell newspapers. Ramin Setoodeh reported Trump’s severe memory issues in his new book, but bc it also reveals his successful strategies for manipulating media, WaPo & NYT relegated reports on its contents to their book review sections.
Many countries: you should definitely vote. It is very important.
Some countries: it is compulsory to vote because it's a civic duty.
NYT: eh, you probably shouldn't vote. It's pointless. Totally useless.
Bit of an aside from the outrage that I 1000% agree with... skimming my feed and saw "ratfucking" and immediately knew whose post I'd happened by. Branding matters! 👍
Biden completely shunned them and they've dedicated every single bit of editorial space since to harming him.
Also, they desperately want to hang a trophy on the wall with "we took down an incumbent president" on the plaque. They don't want to inform, they want to influence.
i carefully read the nyt for a week. i decided it was a newspaper of diamond rings and 800$ sweaters for 9yr olds and articles/advertisements designed to twist your brains. i couldn't draw a single conclusion about what ANY article was trying to say.
i stay away.
i saw this happen to our newspapers here locally. they went from source of info to blatantly pandering to one political party, then a certain political interest and now they’re all just rags. can’t trust them, mostly murderporn news and gossip now. you’re in the right, the recipes gotta go .-.
