This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

Three million Americans marched today. Here’s why we wrote about one American who didn’t.

For everyone else, read my pin post & remember, journalists are not the owners.
Our Fourth Estate is hanging on by a thread. We must support our journalists through this terrible time.
You think USAid is bad? The Press was the first institution attacked and dismantled. /1
Since 1990, the number of newspaper employees in the U.S. has plunged from 455,000 to fewer than 90,000, even as the population has increased by a third.

Would you rather have imperfect papers that we can fix down the road, only none at all?
NYT, WaPo, and LAT are not members of the free press in 2025.
This push and pull is a story as old as America. Read the Powers That Be

ooops is it we the people?
Those journalists can find work elsewhere.
Because we didn’t immediately have a comparable enormous march on D.C., the media and beltway pundits have been saying “where is the resistance?” “There isn’t the same resistance” for 2 months.
Now they’ve convinced themselves of it, and can’t move on from the idea, AND big news sources are afraid to publish because of retaliatory fears.
Our local press in Charlottesville VA was no where to be seen yesterday.
WHY would any thinking person choose not to highlight what we all saw happening.

Julia Métraux gives us a voice.
WaPo/NYT story framing & headlines are too often milquetoast, even flat-out disingenuous. But their *reporters* see what we see, and are writing it.
You’re not better off paying for a bunch of righteously partisan, well-meaning Substacks.
Mainstream media doesn’t always suck; far from it. Don’t play into MAGA’s hands.
LAT’s national desk used to be good but seems on the backburner now. WaPo still covers national politics well.

I mean, I WISH they did better, but things change. People are doing real journalism, it's just somewhere else now.
