The biased, fake news NYT....

gets the second resignation of an op ed editor (first was James Bennet) in the past several months. Mzzzzz/Mrrrrr ? Bari Weiss quits its job, with an interesting letter. The gist of the letter complains that the NYT doesn't have twitter on its masthead. And that it's been tough working there with the ongoing adverse political views of much of the other staff. Ceteris paribus.
In the early days of the paper, before the 1900's, one of the founders proudly announced that his paper should present all viewpoints, so as to encourage open public debate. Right.
Now, Bari, is hardly a right wing plant. And seems pretty young, and possibly inexperienced, for such a role at this major fish wrap. But c'mon, peebles, did she/he/it, possibly think that this left wing outlet would allow the sort of fair coverage the founders believed in, over a century ago? Much less, that it/he/she would somehow have a chance in hell to change the biased leftie direction of the suits, let alone other staff To inexperience, I'd add naivete'.
In these regards, I view with interest the frequent lifting of stories from the NYT, WP, LAT, etc., by some here on CS, to post, while making a TD-HD Syndrome political point. The severity of the illness is such, that not once has there ever been raised a doubt about the veracity of the paper's stories. Nor citing any other slightly different viewpoint. It just gets proudly, stridently, lifted and copied onto the posting. AS IF.
Yes indeedie, severe afflictions---VERY severe.

It was a really good letter. I didn't find it surprising but then, what do I know? laugh
It seems like there needs to be some explaining to do on their "holier then thou" attitudes
and only time will tell if any adjustments will be made. I doubt that very much but at least
they've been exposed for what a lot have been thinking for a long time.
Yep, KPT-thanks. Actually, the left bias permeates much of what they produce. Best seller lists, food, theater, art, music, autos, business, ---even sports. There's no question that their researchers and writers are talented. They just are way off on the left. In part, they are pandering to their remaining readership. Remember, how Newsweek had prematurely placed Hilary's victory pic on the cover, even sent some out, only then they had to replace the front page. Now THAT's bias.
You are correct---few non-deranged, fair-minded people are missing any of it. Derangement is a strong clinical term, but in many cases, even here on CS, it really does apply. I love to point out President Trump's many warts. Some are actually part of his strength and broad appeal. MAGA.
Anyone intellectually honest knows the NYT has been a cesspit of leftist hate for some time now. The lunatics have well and truly taken over the asylum. Barely a semblance of objectivity exists. It's about re-writing history (1619 project) and otherwise putting out a stream of articles which all suit a predetermined narrative. Indoctrination and brainwashing indeed. This is the state of modern journalism. Well, from the 'established' outlets at least. The Washington Post isn't far behind of course in indoctrinating nonsense. And their mockingbird media allies in CNN and MSNBC likewise. Still, a lot of people waking up. I mean their BS has become SO brazen and painfully obvious to see. The best thing to happen will be people talking with their wallets and then these places disintegrating into obscurity. For now, there's the odd reporter here and there who still has standards as well as a lot of citizen journalists who do a lot of hard work and digging to try and help us discover the truth.
That was me by the way that posted that. Not sure what happened there confused
Heavens! I'm mortified! Some one on CS quotes from the NY Times and doesn't offer another opinion!laugh
With all the wonderful youtube videos out there how could they ! Narrated by some seedy, unshaven drunk,
living in a van strung with christmas lights hooked up to a car battery. What is wrong with those demonrats?!?!rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
