No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that's quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.
I used to read it a lot because it had good arts and literary sections back when actual papers were a thing. Reading the Sunday Times with a cup of coffee on Sunday in my bathrobe was a pleasure. Now they just specialize in these garbage takes.
Fr. Even the right wing broadsheets had good investigative journalism at one point. It's all gone now.
Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined "largest immigration surge in US History" under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election
If it wasn't so tragic it would be amusing to see the bourgeois factions stumble over each other. The parties had their obvious policies and they made a certain twisted sense for a time.
Now that none of it has worked, they're both running out of policies and simply stealing the other's lines. You can see the visceral confusion in the demi-gods and priests of capital and in the faithful.
It's the same across the western world, as the 'left' parties are unanimously trying to out-compete the 'right' on immigration. The politicians and pundits are tripping over themselves and each other. They just don't know how to frame it.
Who now is the baddy and who the goody? If we all agree that immigration is bad, does that mean the baddies are now the goodies and are the goodies now the baddies because maybe being a racist isn't the best look.
Major policies have been swapped before. It's like light through a prism and the right colour is distilled and purified. The GOP takes up anti-abortion and we now see the result of that policy-swap once it becomes the platform piece. Fuck knows what horrors we're in for when all the 'left' parties steal and horde the anti-immigrant policy as the right abandons it in favour of 'more imported servants, please'.
The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].
The pro-slavery New York Times?
Ironically, the GOP has bought it now that they coronated Trump?
It’s a bit amusing that all the white and not so white lies are now actual belief amongst the leadership. Maybe they’ll end up deconstructing them…
Because the arts and literary sections and the magazine were actually quite decent so it gave that impression.
Stupid sexy Luigi.
Feels like I’m wearing … three different hoodies.
Hey NYT. Suck it.
Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.
Not to play devil's advocate (which is what people say beforr they play devil's advocate) is this clickbait or is there substance to the article. Bastard and innumerable others like him deserve to be punished, but I'm interested in the takr
More of a weird looking criminal really, but ok.
What? You don’t like handsome men?
When I look at him I enter my prison wife era.
That’s the fxxking legacy :)
Not only do I not get it, but I had to look up “prison wife”: not an imprisoned married woman but a woman whose spouse is imprisoned.
It's also the man a man fucks while in prison.
Not Antiwork for me, but a great post.
I can't find a better community for this, sorry. I just want left leaning people to know what bullshit they're pulling.
You could post it to US News, or the Socialism/Communism communities.
Thank you
It is part of the class war... I would assume we can get some class solidarity here.
We're trying to reduce the numbers of hours a person has to work.
We talk about the end of paid work being mandatory for survival.
