    NYT is as corpo as media can get. We must remember what side they are on. Journalism is dead.

    They’re trying every angle they can think of to avoid admitting that people didn’t react negatively to this because literally everyone in the country has been negatively affected by people like that CEO.

      Also outside the US country. I’m Brazilian, I’ve been following the news about this event, and I can’t help but notice there’s a hope inside me that this event could somehow result in CEOs all around the world (especially in the southern hemisphere) changing and ditching their greed. Well, of course it’s very unlikely to happen, maybe I have some tiny optimistic side buried under tons of massive pessimism of mine.

        It won’t happen, best we can hope for is that it tempers the greed for a bit.

        It would need to happen a few (dozen) more times to effect real change.

      If I believed in a deep state (which I categorically do not) NYT would be part of it.

      I do, however, believe in giant media companies funded by the 1%, who have just lost one of their own to one of the plebs, staffed by management who will steer things in the needed direction. Any doubt I had of that has been destroyed by their coverage of Gaza.

        It’s very real, it’s just not anything like what far-right conspiracy theorists think it is[1][2][3].

    No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that’s quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.

      Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined “largest immigration surge in US History” under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election

      I used to read it a lot because it had good arts and literary sections back when actual papers were a thing. Reading the Sunday Times with a cup of coffee on Sunday in my bathrobe was a pleasure. Now they just specialize in these garbage takes.

    The classic scapegoats aren’t there this time. Can’t blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the “crime” and that’s not good to some people.

      Pretty successful and well off kid, definitely not just someone desperate and broke they can tear apart, and he’s articulating his position against these fuckers. It’s really beautiful. A folk hero.

      Luigi is deff what the media has fed society as “CHAD”

      Not even being ironic here tbh

      Now the only explanation why Chad would do this is “he had bad back”

      Alright… go on…

      FDR was also part of the elite class and he had his own issues…

    The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].

    Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.

        Not only do I not get it, but I had to look up “prison wife”: not an imprisoned married woman but a woman whose spouse is imprisoned.

      I can’t find a better community for this, sorry. I just want left leaning people to know what bullshit they’re pulling.

        It is part of the class war… I would assume we can get some class solidarity here.
