All I could think of is fake news... I used to read the NYT religiously and believed their news was pretty good. Now, I just don't believe any newspaper. One example: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/trump-childrens-health-insurance-program-chip-cuts-2018.html http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/trump-childrens... now read this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/congress-leery-of-trumps-cuts-to-childrens-health-program-1525822614 https://www.wsj.com/articles/congress-leery-of-trumps-cuts-t...

Could you elaborate on how this shows NYT's journalism in a negative light, aka fake news?

    Please go on for at least a paragraph, if you can. I don't think these pictures say much.

It has nothing to do with informing people; quite the opposite, they are a flock of mockingbirds.

        What? Am I supposed to go ID some people off images on the internet? Is that your idea of supporting your argument?

        Why bother? I could post a pic of the people writing the articles you read imitating Heavens Gate and you would still want me to "support" my assertion that all is not well at the NTY. What do you need? Mock murder reenactments?

You start off talking about how you used to trust the NYT, but you link to something from New York Magazine (an article ostensibly contradicted by the WSJ article you link to)? NYT and NYM are not the same thing, though the NYT does have a Sunday magazine, which largely operates independently of the general NYT staff.
