โ€œThe New York Timesโ€ Is Failing Its Readers Badly on Covid

A pair of shoddy opinion pieces proves that the paper is letting its audience down and undermining the fight to improve our knowledge of the virus.

The Nation

@taylorlorenz Just like with all those articles about the glories of the "water cooler" and how everyone should flock back to the office.

They are letting their tanking ๐Ÿ“‰ commercial real estate portfolios do the talking.

@taylorlorenz
Just on Covid? Letโ€™s not kid ourselves!

@taylorlorenz

Well why not? Theyโ€™re bullshit on just about everything else too.

@taylorlorenz this thread's got the right vibe. I cancelled my NYT membership earlier this year and left a lengthy note about my disappointment in their editorial decisions. Shit trans articles, misleading framing of issues in Israel and Palestine, and COVID coverage were all on my list at the time.
@taylorlorenz the times is failing on everything but recipes imho. And even those are mid.
@taylorlorenz
The #nytimes is definitely failing it's readers.
It's like they're now ready to post opinion pieces about why the Earth could actually be flat. Just to get both sides of the argument, to appeal to a broader reader base, of course.
