I am not sure that helped in this case. Hyperbolic "fake news" claims aside, I have observed a marked, and downward, shift in nuance when NYT covers most hot-button issues. I find myself looking for other sources first now. They just seem to have created a self-funding bubble. I find it unfortunate, as a majority of their reporting is still stellar.
- jondubois 8y agoAll news is fake to some extent. I think that so-called 'fake news' is good because it allows people to expose themselves to two extreme opposite views. If people want to live in a filter bubble then they can go ahead and do that but it's nice to at least have the option to see alternative views. I think that there is often a grain of truth behind fake news. If people feel that they're getting screwed over by the system and then an article comes along and tells them "you're getting screwed by the system, this is why...", even if the reason is a poorly researched guesstimate, it's still much more useful in terms of driving social change than articles that just say "the economy is booming, low unemployment all around, everything is great...".
- turtlecloud 8y agoNytimes has gotten too liberal. They are alienating all the Americans that don’t live in big cities. Their anti Trump agenda is also too obvious.
