POLL: A majority of Americans now believe that the New York Times, which was founded 172 years ago, is too old to be an effective newspaper. - Andy Borowitz
@BrianJopek not too old, just too Red.
@BrianJopek
I think they are owned by a right wing conglomerate and need to be totally boycotted.
Stop supporting FASCISM!
@BrianJopek they stopped being a newspaper that time "their man in Moscow" tried to cover up news of Stalin's genocide in Ukraine.
@BrianJopek Comic books are more relevant than the New York Times.
@IveyJanette @BrianJopek
Always have been! Superman (Kal-El) and the death of planet Krypton were certainly on point for humanity ignoring the scientists. And MAD comics were my favorites until they outlawed them in 1954. (sigh. I had them all, but my mother threw them away when we moved to England. sigh. They would have been worth a fortune today.
@BrianJopek How many asked the question: Do we still have newspapers?
@BrianJopek @Npars01 I think you mis-spelled ‘too shitty’
@BrianJopek 2 words: walter duranty
the pulitzer group won’t rescind his prize either
@BrianJopek it’s not it’s age. it’s its corruption.

@BrianJopek May 1988. NYT reported Michael Dukakis leading George H.W. Bush by 10 points, 49 to 39 percent. Dukakis was a great president 🤡

Poll Shows Dukakis Leads Bush; Many Reagan Backers Shift Sides

The New York Times
@BrianJopek And the same people would argue that any newspaper that has not been established XX years ago is too young to really matter. - My 5 cents
@BrianJopek "All the news that fits we print"
@BrianJopek Most large journalism outlets are owned by rich corporations, making independent news the only newsworthy orgs in the US. This obviously includes the irrelevant NYT. 🙄
@BrianJopek They have some issues for sure but I don’t think “too old” is one of them
@BrianJopek The NYT also curently participating in the rights destabilization efforts towards México. They ran an article linking our president to the Narcos, based on claims of a shelved investigation by the DEA , just as our elections are coming. Neoliberal destabilizing warmongers that they are.
