It is as reliable as the nytimes. Meaning it has a bias towards their benefactors like every media source.
- duxup 7y agoI'm not really sure history that long ago really is a good way to measure such things.
- thrwwy412947 7y agoWhy not? The nature of the news industry hasn't changed fundamentally since the 1800s.
- duxup 7y agoThe type of news / reliability a given paper provides can change. I'm not sure Alexander Hamilton is relevant as to my question.
- ncmncm 7y agoI think we are meant to take "as reliable" here as "not particularly". I found that the NYT in the Bush era supported Cheney falsehoods long after they had been exposed elsewhere. Of course they were big boosters for the Iraq invasion debacle even long after the fact. Thomas Friedman obliterated any credibility he ever had over that.
