If we needed more proof that the so-called #centerleft or #rationalleft is very permeable to #extremeright #ideologies, the way the #newyorktimes dealt with informations about #ZohranMamdani college registration coming from #neonazi sources and #hacking is a pretty blunt one. They completely obliterated the fact that these guys have their hands on sensible #data from millions of people, including #poc ! Thanks to @rebeccawatson for this video!

How a Nazi Helped the New York Times Smear Zohran Mamdani

@ariane @rebeccawatson @Lazarou AG (Sulzberger) is as shameless as Donald Trump himself. Decent people should avoid the NYT โ€œin saecula saeculorum.โ€ For better or worse, the age of arbiter-monopolists is well and truly at an end. TikTok may be a jungle, but itโ€™s an exceedingly diverse jungle, and for those with eyes to see, the short-form talent there dwarfs anything NYT will ever have to offer. Marshall McLuhan was right!
@Canevecchio @rebeccawatson @Lazarou well, actually, I don't read the NYT. But it still important to have infos on what the NYT does with what consequences. Without this video, I wouldn't have known about what this media tried to do to Mamdani. I'm not in the US, and as much as I try to keep up with US news, there are still lots of it that escape me completely.

@ariane @Canevecchio @rebeccawatson I've noticed my visits to the NYT this year have dropped right off, a mixture of them not being shared on Mastodon and also all the fucking pop ups and shit you get when visiting them.

Archive.org or nothing!

@ariane @rebeccawatson @Lazarou I have the same issues with following European news. To take one example: will SZ, TAZ, FAZ and der Spiegel tell me everything I need to know about whatโ€™s going on in Germany? Hardly. Without the posts from Germans here on Mastodon, a lot of the nuance disappears. And yet even on their worst days, any of them is better on German and European events than the NYT or WAPO are on what goes on in the US. Or so I believe.
@Canevecchio @rebeccawatson @Lazarou As I said, I don't read NYT. I learnt about this story through the vidรฉo I mentionned.
