Once again, corporate M$M shill, NYT, exposes its REAL position....

[reACTIONary]

... in a editorial board editorial:

1. They wrote this in July

but you wouldn't know it -- from their coverage of events and polling since then -- that they really meant it. Yes, they are a corporate voice and their leadership has said taking a stand on the side of democracy is not part of their mission.

[reACTIONary]

2. Yes, they wrote it in July, and they decided to...

.... republish it today. I know that because it is disclosed at the top of the article.

Could you please explain how editorializing against TSF in July.... and then reprinting the editorial today at the start of early voting.... fits in with the alleged directive to take a stand against democracy?

Inquiring minds want to know!

4. TSF seems to be the closest we've come to fascism ....

... at the national level. How does editorializing against him fit in with being facist?

5. Although the NYT will print editorials condemning Dump, they continue to promote

bothsiderism, Dump propaganda and jabs at Democrats.

6. Could you give me some examples? I'm sure there are...

.... instances, but I read the NYT everyday, and it doesn't seem prevalent to me.

7. There are many examples here on DU, here's a couple...

9. The primary criticism in the salon article is that .....

.... the Times/Siena poll is somehow "biased". It has, however, the highest rating at 538. It seems that whoever wrote this article is conflating "news I'd rather not know about" with "bias".

It also complained that NYT does not report TSF's verbal stumbles. But doing a quick search shows that they are not remiss:

How Trump’s Verbal Slips Could Weaken His Attacks on Biden’s Age: Donald Trump, 77, has relentlessly attacked President Biden, 80, as too old for office. But the former president himself has had a series of gaffes that go beyond his usual freewheeling style.

10. The Finding Gravity blog is...

... assertive and conclusionary without much in the way of evidence. He used to like the Times when he was a kid, then changed his mind when he became a regular reader. Some people agree with him, some don't. OK. Big deal.

The Times did report that polls showed a lot of discontent over Bidens age. I didn't agree with that discontent and still don't, but we know now how that turned out. I don't agree with the majority, but it seems we are better off now than we were. So, do we thank the NYT? Or maybe they were just doing their job.

The Times has also reported Trumps felony convictions and that he is an adjudicated rapist. Mr. Gravitose doesn't deny it, but for some reason he isn't happy with it either. Oh well.

If you don't like the Times, don't read it.

11. Not scapegoating, stating my honest opinion.

[reACTIONary]

12. Thanks for your honest opinion...

.... I didn't mean to accuse you of scapegoating. Edited the post.

[Clouds Passing]

13. Thanks.

14. I was wrong. NYT endorsed Kamala. Going to delete my post.

Thanks reACTIONary.

8. Cancelled mine several months ago.

I miss the games, but boycotting fascists
is essential.
