The New York Times rarely quotes transgender people in trans stories

https://www.advocate.com/news/new-york-times-transgender-stories

The report reviewed articles published between January 1 and April 25 across 10 major news outlets. According to the analysis, the Times published 60 news stories centered mainly on transgender issues during that period. Only 12 included quotes from transgender people or advocacy representatives, a rate of 20 percent.

“It is inaccurate for the Times to claim that coverage is ‘fair’ or ‘accurate’ or ‘empathetic’ when its stories about transgender people do not include transgender voices. This defies common sense and journalistic integrity.”

NYT is a fasc-enabling rag not worth wiping my ass with. At best.

Some apps definitely have this, I'm a holdout on Sync and can permanently filter a domain

EDIT: But it would be great if it were built into Piefed or Lemmy server-side.

This would actually be a nice feature. Would still see non paywalled archive versions of the articles.

I've heard the guardian also slips in transphobic article as well?

Which newspapers do you guys read?

U.S. Guardian is usually better than the UK one. I go to Assigned Media for my trans related news.
