Taylor Lorenz“The NYT cares more about its place in the power structure than in actually affecting that power structure. It cedes prominent column space to bad faith politicians who would like to eradicate whole demographics of the U.S. population. It dabbles in trans panic as a sort of weird hobby. And it scoffs at criticism from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party while going out of its way to heed criticism from a Republican Party.” https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/new-york-times-washed-19780600.php
Neil Kandalgaonkar@taylorlorenz It’s indisputable that the NYT carefully positions itself for maximum influence, and this means that when fascism is rising they normalize fascism.
This even happened the first time around. The Jewish publisher soft-pedaled Holocaust stories, fearing losing influence in Gentile society if they seemed too Jewish.

However, the article opens with a silly complaint that the NYT is a buzzkill for still treating a Trump victory as plausible. It is!
