I didn’t think the Times could look any worse in a war than it did after Iraq, but they may have outdone themselves with Gaza

Don’t forget: The NYT was a leading cheerleader for the Iraq war. It amplified a lot of the totally bogus claims about WMDs.

C’mon. They were Copperheads in the Civil War and pro Nazi well into WW2. They have always been on the side of evil.

Strange how they're so biased against Biden, given how they seem to share so many goals.

No offense but it’s funny that this is the straw that broke the back for liberals. Like ignoring 30k deaths but “the degradation of our institutions” is a line too far. Where were u 5 fucking months ago

How do I say this without sounding glib, but uh, why is the NYT considered "the paper of record?" My whole life it's been a shitshow of Iraq, transphobia and now this nonsense with Gaza. Yet it's the "paper of record?"

It's breathtaking. And it's hard to imagine a worse time for this given the state of the media.

- The Times hired an Israeli freelancer with no journalism experience, anti-Palestinian bias, and a past in intel for a major story - Other Times journalists pointed out holes - The Intercept found out - The Times retaliated against random Arab and Arab-American staffers Do I have that right?

Cancelled my years long NYT subscription awhile ago after reading an op ed piece and saying "what the fuck" afterwards. That was the last straw.

If they haven’t uncritically quoted the gleefully genocidal Jerusalem Post as a reliable source yet I imagine it will happen any day now.

The lessons of Gulf War II have been forgotten, if they were ever actually learned (I mean the media manipulation before the ground attack-there are lots of lessons here). The kids don’t know about it, & everyone else has forgotten Miller, Powell, and all the rest of it. It’s maddening, & obvious.
