@dangillmor they didn''t accidentally do this--the NYT does bad things because they want to do bad things, it's not some sort of slip & stumble problem

@dangillmor You can add The Philadelphia Inquirer to that list of complicit media. It constantly plays the game of “Both Sidesism” out of fear of losing its white conservative readers and subscribers.

@dangillmor "if and when democracy fails..." I read somewhere that in a successful democracy there should not be extremes of rich and poor, and if you do have such extremes then you have a choice to either reduce poverty or reduce democracy. Could one argue that democracy has already failed? Or rather, could one argue that it has not?

@dangillmor NYT is a Nazi rag.

@dangillmor I don't know if they are capable of change. After all, it's been 20+ years since they lied us into a war with Iraq and they've never expressed any shame over that.

@dangillmor I feel like the history of the NYT in regard to the Holocaust is probably worth revisiting in this context. I dove into this many years ago while researching a historical novel — and the tl;dr, as I remember it, is that the paper came into possession fairly early (via its global web of reporters and sources) of convincing evidence of what was happening in Europe ... and chose to do almost nothing with it, apart from a couple of equivocating bits on like p.29.

@dangillmor
Or perhaps they are just publishing things you don't like
