Idk about other people, but the recent op/ed on women ruining the workplace (they had to change the title 3 times) just being allowed in print by them certainly lessens my opinion of their institution.
God damn, it really just takes a jump off a cliff. I was at least willing to read it to gain an understanding of their perspective, but once I got to the "the difference between men and women is wokeness" section it just completely derailed any chance of me finishing it. We're actually fucked.
Or whatever that actually means that the ISPs in power have the freedom to maintain control without competition and ensures Americans have no choice in internet provider
E.g. it’s literally the opposite of what it says on the tin
JFC, what is happening to this country? I expect far better from the NY Times.
Another one is National Geographic. It was literally the finest publication for decades, over a century, then they were sold to Fox, who turned it into a religious rag, with every other month featuring a cover story about the Bible and its characters.
Now they are buying up all the broadcast and news channels. Pretty soon the Conservative Propaganda Machine will just be called "The Media."
I was late to the party, but it turns out that the NYT has always been an agent of manufacturing consent for the US govt dating back at least as far as the vietnam war but almost assuredly since the beginning of the Cold War.
The overton window is constructed by our media and it was built in such a way that anyone to the left of the democrats was definitionally too radical while anyone to the right of the GOP was just misunderstood and needed to be accommodated.
They never saw a war that they wouldn't help lie the country into. I just call them "Judith Miller's NY Times" now. Also sitting on stories to help fascist politicians get elected.
According to the wiki link below you are incorrect. I guess in addition to fucking rats it means sabotage. Like the Beastie boys song jj Abrams loves so much.

Now I feel bad that I unsubscribed from them for something as simple as popup annoyance. I could have slammed them for this.

The NYT is really just a scummy tabloid rag. They constantly violate ethical and journalistic standards.
