@jeffjarvis nyt is explicitly a propaganda rag for oligarchs.
The journalists that work there know that. Sometimes they're the propaganda, sometimes they're the cover, and sometimes the propaganda is the stories they don't get to write.
They will never change. Ya'll should stop acting like they're the struggling but recoverable good guys.
NYT constantly reports on how the public doesn’t know about the Biden administration’s impressive record of successes.
NYT does little reporting about the Biden administration’s impressive record of successes.
Even if you pay for a subscription, the articles are full of both-sides garbage. The reporters strive to be, not unbiased, but “balanced”. Reality is rarely balanced.
That’s disgusting
@jeffjarvis and even when Democrats try to tell them facts, they fall back on their need to both-sides everything and legitimize the GOP's nuttery.
NYT: "Biden signs historic deal directly saving 50 million children from death. What effect will this have on the economy? According to Prager U this will increase the deficit by 1,488%, increase crime, and replace your children. Is this the end of Western Civilization?"
@jeffjarvis Maybe not Biden explicitly but the media has been bought for decades. The idea that there is objective coverage with 0 bias is a lie.
That being said, its more profitable to lean into the biases and run cover. That is what you are observing. NYT, Fox, et al run cover for the oligarchs. The ones who post "inconvinient truths" and journalism with due diligence are blackballed. This is literally the Chris Hedges and Glenn Greenwald story.
