After the LA Times and Wash F'n Post embarrassed themselves, does the Times actually see an opportunity to just be normal (and profit in the meantime)?
ironically it's possible that Sulzberger, for all his apparent vanity and general nobbish cluelessness, may be for all that less overtly in the tank than Bezos, the Murdochite he hired as overseer, and, apparently, wossface who owns LA Times (which sucks)
I don't. For example, NYT tonight, in my view, only got peer-pressured/shamed into using the term racist/racism b/c so many other outlets were doing it. They started with their casual euphemisms even as things were obviously racist from the very jump: https://bsky.app/profile/jay2.bsky.social/post/3l7jvzzuykt2f
For NYT every step they take that seems laudable is only after it's way too late, as if to check a box for defending itself in hindsight. "Oh but we DID say the word 'racist.' We DID publish a thing that said 'Trump is bad.'"
But only too late, and only after sanewashing Trump's lunacy for 9 years
At least through the election. I do not have a lot of faith in Sulzberger to make good decisions in the long term. He’s demonstrated his lack of good judgement sufficiently for my tastes.
That’s the great thing about recalled vote weighting: the more people are ashamed to admit voting for him in 2020, the better he does in the poll! Line go up!
Jesu Fornicating Cristos, I only read about the "trash island" part from the news this morning. All that other shit doesn't even warrant a mention nowadays? Fucking fuck.
But NYT is running lots of anti-Trump stuff last few days. They've made their face turn, at least for the rest of the election. I'll be interested in learning how and why it happened.
They probably see Harris as the winner, and thus are trying to act like they’re still a reputable paper so they can have access. It is possible the actual journalists are threatening a walk-out, but I think the former is more likely.

That's a lot of racist.
Where the Hell have you been since 2016?
As we say in Massachusetts "Dawn breaks on marblehead."
Not page 98 before the crosswords in font 6 ?

NY Times readers have put up with a lot of bullshit. Maybe it's time to return the loyalty and speak unvarnished truth from here on out.
July 6 2019, the FBI opened it & left hard drives and CDs sitting on top for days as they went to get a warrant.
TFG likely has compromat on lots of rich guys.

And I hope this lesson stays learned.
