Terrific article by Samer in Defector. I highly recommend anyone here continuing to have a NYT subscription cancel it and subscribe to Defector and a whole host of independent journalists and smaller news orgs who actually practice journalism.
The amount of liberals I know who inexplicably still give the New York Times money is astonishing. Also, giving the New York Times money for their games is stupid as well. There are other crossword puzzles out there.
Mainstream journalism is dead, all they are now is a bunch of mouth pieces for the government and the rich. I used to respect and admire that profession and now I just assume they are assholes by default. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I respected and admired journalism until I majored in it. J schools (at least American ones teaching AP style) teach automatic deference to the statements of those in positions of authority. I changed my major once I understood I would just be a public relations rep for state and capital.
Yeah pushing back on any official narrative is usually derided as "advocacy journalism". I think a lot of it boils down to various news outlets don't want to lose access to certain agencies, officials or other notable figures so they coddle them to the point of basically being imbedded.
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to imagine that she just doesn’t like seeing kids blown into freaking half by bombs being constructed in the US and it all being politically and socially backed.
Very. One of my favorite old legal traditions. Corporation charters were granted and revocable by the state, and had to show that they would be a net public good.
They aren't dumb. They are propagandists pushing a narrative. "People who disagree with the Israeli government only do so because they were bought off by terrorists."
