- kobiguru 7y agoI doubt Journalists hold present-day journalism in high opinion. NewYrokTimes is perhaps the biggest offender who gets away with this. All I can say is after reading Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent, I can never trust NYT.
- wiz21c 7y ago100 agree. Although rather unclear, my comment was hinting at the fact that even if we all think that journalism is not what it used to be, cynicism shouldn't win over idealism...
- thecleaner 7y agoI have incentives high up in my opinion. There's a huge segment of population that loves to undermine progress or those taking bold decisions. There's an incentive to feed pessimism and of course NYT as a business will tap into that. There aren't many people who will be excited when somebody else makes progress and NYT is just cashing in on it. I don't judge them, its just what it is. I would rather be mindful of their bads and take their goods than impose unreasonably high standards on NYT.
- locopati 7y agoAfter the run up to the Second Iraq War, the NYT does not deserve the benefit of doubt when it comes to their reporting. https://observer.com/2015/04/judith-miller-carried-water-for-the-usas-worst-debacle-since-vietnam/ https://observer.com/2015/04/judith-miller-carried-water-for...
