TL;DR: remember the outrageous bullshit the corporate news media, including NYT and WaPo pulled in 2016? They not only learned nothing, they like being fascism’s cumrag.
You’d have thought the insane chaos that resulted, culminating in horrifying infectious death for hundreds of thousands of Americans - millions around the world -, would have given them a small measure of resolve to report relevant facts and feature important stories such that we never need to weather that again, but, dear reader, you’d be wrong.
What I don’t like about these types of articles is that they always skip over the fact that TRUMP LOST TO BIDEN WHILE BEING A SITTING PRESIDENT.
People wised up and they now know that all it matters is to go out and vote.
Every time I think of actually subscribing to the WP or NYT I remember how their political analysis is just utter crap.
When NYT employees wrote a letter saying that the NYT is transphobic, the NYT announced that it was committed to finding every traitor employee who embarrassed it.
All because one investor wants the paper to be appealing to “both sides”
I’m unsure what “both sides” they think they are dealing with. The NYT might appeal to David Brooks types and maybe some liberals that are kind of oblivious to just how right wing the NYT actually is and has been (see them building a permission structure to attack Iraq, for instance). That’s a pretty narrow band of the spectrum, but might include a fairly high percentage of Americans, who knows. Maybe this range from the David Brooks Acela corridor type of con to people that are kind of socially liberal is who they are trying to appeal to.
When it comes to the unhinged right, I think they think reading the paper will turn them gay and turn their children into Jews or Satanists. And I would say the left knows just what they are dealing with when it comes to the NYT…
Hooray capitalism! $$ > all
Do Right Side News, Brietbart, Infowars, The Epoch Times, Fox News, and Sinclair next!
“The other guys are even worse” is never a good excuse. That sort of thinking leads to a downward spiral; a race to the bottom.
Its all right wing news
Your first link rates their factual reporting as “high”. It is their analysis that is crap.
They ranked NYT the exact same, so it’s just one publication attacking another with the same stats/rep.
TLDR: Unskew those polls! Media biased against Democrats! No one could possibly vote for a convicted felon! Biden is fine!
Sheesh.
Nobody would vote for someone who was paid millions by China, stole secrets about nuclear submarines, then showed them to people who passed them to China. Now he’s on trial but with a judge he’d appointed who’s stalling the trial because the evidence is too damning for her to dismiss it.
Nobody would if they knew, anyway.
