I know everyone says "their reporters do great work" and that's true, but over the course of my life, the New York Times has institutionally had multiple points at which it was important to choose "be evil" or do the right thing and they've fucked it hard every time

The NYT's 'sometimes good' makes the bad stuff *worse*, because it lends credibility to the garbage.

I'd be willing to bet that because its "ruling family" intervenes and interferes with the running of the paper whenever it reports too much news or afflicts the comfortable a little too much...

*some* of their reporters. Most of their opinion writers are deplorable Republicans.

Their political reporters, particularly the ones covering the White House and presidential politics, do no great work at all. They do shit work, and nothing but.

When you consider that many of those journalists would do great work at a different publication or even on their own, it sorta feels like the great work props up a lot of evil, and only one of those things needs the other.

Bro. Seeing just how blatantly evil corporate media is now - like they don’t even try to really hide it?

I challenge anyone to find a better example of access journalism than the Trump/Haberman relationship.

As far as I’m concerned if you still have a subscription to the NYT, you might as well put a Trump sign in front of your house!

Not even the "course of your life"! They were evil during the Holocaust too! There is a whole century of fuckery with that newspaper; I don't think it can be reformed.

this is the paper that gave Walter Duranty a platform so I guess I can't be too surprised

A. G. Sulzberger has destroyed any credible history the NYT ever had. It's nothing more than a conservative tabloid now.

I've often thought, in a "It's a Wonderful Life" scenario, that if the NY Times didn't exist, the US (and world) would be better off. And that's accounting for a lot of great reporting and columns over the years. But their political coverage, war correspondence and editorials can be catastrophic.

there comes a point where it doesn't matter how good the actual reporters are because the editorial staff have utterly tanked their credibility

The magic of once having a NYT sub was being able to cancel it and directly say, "It was because you did this specific stupid shit".

Their reporters also do a lot of just ripping off the work of reporters at smaller more local publications. It wasn't the nyt who was digging into George Santos for instance.

So many moments to have swiveled public opinion. The Iraq War, Buttery Mails, Dubya getting presidency as a graduation gift...even Clinton vs. Hastert coverage. So much, before we get to the Marmalade Monarch's Haberman Hall Pass. I can't in good conscience pay for it & I look down on those who do.

Reporters haven't done "good work" since Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley died... everything since then has been pandering to the corporate bosses and the media moguls who use the news for profit and propaganda....

They want us to kill each other. It releases the SSI to pay down the FED, and culls a lot of people that won't need benefits, redraw the lines and new constitution. One Team two side = Fake. Just adapt an off grid lifestyle. It's the eventual outcome anyways no matter who wins. 7billion people!💀

I truly don't understand how anyone who was alive during the lead up to the Iraq war can view the Times without a ton of suspicion.
