So Jen, it appears that @peterbakernyt.bsky.social 's work is not the crux of the issue but the person who wrote the headline at @nytimes.com Might Mr. Baker tell us who that might be & the editor who oversees their work. I don't understand the necessity to "talk around" people & not call them out.
He is surrendering. Grasping defeat from the jaws of victory. At the moment the Death Star could be zapped, he turned the laser onto the rebel alliance.
Unfortunately the major US news media, exemplified by the NYT, sees its job as simply reporting “what people are saying” rather than traditional journalism’s aim to investigate/report actual facts.
(damningly, tho, if it is said by either the Israeli govt or US police, NYT will present it as fact)
In case you do not remember, a bunch of activists, students, and people from all sectors of America Stopped the Vietnam War. Resistance is Possible. I was there.

Literally the one and only thing that Trump has been rock solid consistent on since the mid eighties up to now is his blind deference and support for Russia and Putin. Yes, it really has always been Russia Russia Russia.
Trump is changing the narrative and starting indoctrination of his cult. When Putin takes Ukraine, it will because they attacked Russia, and Trump can't be blamed for the debacle. Just like he did with the Election of 2020, JSix was a tourist visit, and so on and so forth. I am seeing a pattern .
Any insight on how or why this is happening? I’ve worked on copy desks. Sure, there was increasing pressure from Corporate, but they never demanded we write headlines that blatantly undermine our role as the Fourth Estate. If they had, I can’t imagine we’d comply. 1/
Our jobs were hanging by a thread anyway. The next round of layoffs was always just around the corner.
So how is this happening? Maybe they’re hiring non-journalists to write headlines now. But that wouldn’t explain the reckless framing of stories and their dereliction of story play in print. 2/2
@nytimes.com Why are you so afraid of trvmp? You are no longer the Fourth Estate. You're propagating the propaganda by writing crap like this. How many subscribers have you lost? It'll only get worse.
"The War of Northern Aggression," was how the Americam Civil War to be framed. We didn't call that flip of script a lie. We barely challenge the lie that the war was for "states rights," and not slavery.
The NYT is continuing the intellectually dishonest tradition that brought us to trumpism.
Agent Orange 🍊 thinks he can make people believe Ukraine attacked Russia. There are news reports from when it started. There are photos of Russian troops massing on the border. He thinks he can change history. He is wrong.
NYTimes helped get Trump elected with misleading headlines. I don't expect them to either grow a conscience or report responsibly. It's going to be a long four years of them puckering up to tyranny.
He wanted Zelenskyy to just give up half its minerals. That’s just crazy. No one would do that and under pressure to sign trumps agreement on the spot!
It’s not flipping a script for gods sake. He just lies and lies and lies to set the stage for anti Ukrainian sentiment. But people around the world understand what he is doing. trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator is rich; he loves dictators around the world and declared he would be one on day 1.
Trump & Putin taking a page out of Hitler’s playbook … blaming the victim … Sept. 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. To justify the action, Nazi propagandists accused Poland of persecuting ethnic Germans living in Poland and then staged a false flag operation, Gleiwitz, to say Poland started the war
Vladimir Putin is the puppet master and Trump is the puppet. And the Republicans in the Senate and House are mere spineless minions. Every single Republican in Congress must be voted out!
History will be baffled by the headlines from these days. American democracy was being dismantled in front of their eyes, the biggest story of their lifetimes, and journalists were mired in minutiae. Failed themselves, their readers and their republic.
The Times has completely failed to cover this era -- from platforming Ross Douthat and Bret Stephen's, to pretending that Trump's actions are "bold" and "daring" instead of "delusional" and "criminal."
I'd like to expect more from the NYT based on its well documented past...but the current version is the worst.
It's a good part of the misinformation and both sides-ism that has gotten us here. And they do it to keep readers by playing to both sides IMO. Its past would be ashamed of its present.
Let’s not normalize non sense. The entire world knows Putin attacked Ukraine unjustifiably. His justification at the time was that he was going to root out the Nazis in Ukraine. Putin openly admitted he attacked Ukraine.

Democracy dies in the media.
NYT headline writers have always seemed to work for Trump.

you’re switching sides again?
sorry, We can’t keep track.
call him what he is and tell us what he’s doing - he’s certainly not mincing his words to spare you

The guy is a dupe and/or a cutout for Putin and dictators everywhere.
