Pretty interesting article. NYT seems to have quality reporting on the surface, but I personally started questioning their bias over the past couple years and eventually cancelled my subscription.
One of the things I’m not sure about are their editorials/investigations against tech companies. While I strongly believe in regulating the Facebook and Googles of the world, my cynical side is convinced NYT publishes these investigations not simply because these are honest journalists looking for the truth but because these media outlets are legitimately under threat and don’t know how else to compete. And I mean legitimately under threat as in these tech giants are competing with companies such as the NYT. They’re simply looking out for their personal interests.
- js2 7y ago> questioning their bias over the past couple years It’s not new. They hired an ombudsman in 2003 after warranted criticism for their unquestioning support of the Iraq war, but they got rid of that position two years ago.
