Part of the problem is that due to changing revenue models, online publications have turned to controversial headlining and identity topics (the new culture wars) to generate clicks. One thing that may have influenced the NYT's decline into that strategy was their new editor, who's proudly out to poke bears: http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/08/sarah-jeong-new-york-times-anti-white-racism.html http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/08/sarah-jeong-new-york-... I find stuff like this more emotive and more suited to activism than informative, and I'm more interested in information than feelings when I read the news in the morning.
