James GleickThis is a bad look for the NY Times. Don’t beg Elon to allow your reporter back. That place is fatally corrupted.
Better idea: start your own Mastodon instance.
tobie@JamesGleick I didn't expect that CNN would put itself in the driver's seat -- "we will reevaluate our relationship with Twitter" -- whereas the NYTimes would take a weak, plaintive approach. How the Grey Lady has fallen. I wish I had a better understanding of what led to the NYT's transformation into a paper that defends the status quo.
Mauigirl52 - Mimi Michalski@tobie @JamesGleick The NY Times hasn't been its old self for quite awhile now. They started appealing to the richest and most elite and started to ignore the ordinary people. We used to get great tips for local NYC restaurants from their pages - remember restaurants under $25? Now it's nothing but high end stuff. And that was just the beginning. Then their "news" became "analysis" more of the time and it's just not the same.
@Mauigirl52 @JamesGleick It's dreadful to see the NYT's decline. From Judy Miller plugging "weapons of mass destruction" to Thrush, Choznick and others pushing "But her emails" in 2016 to Maggie Haberman assuming the role of Trump whisperer to Aaron Blake praising DeSantis for his autocratic form of state governance, it's been a rapid descent for the paper into being a mouthpiece for the RNC.
I'll take a look as the WSJ's news section.
@tobie @JamesGleick Agree. And I remember when they interviewed some neo-Nazi guy living in middle America, showing how "normal" his everyday life is. 🙄
