Genuine question: I hear a lot of concerns that NYTimes in particular is not original reporting and is often reporting to their own interests, a big example being the NYTimes covering positively the idea of war in iraq/afganistan and the trump-has-no-chance coverage. I don't agree with this sentiment; I just know this sentiment is not uncommon in my peer group. That is to say: Where are you gathering that they spend far more on original news reporting than other outlets? This is not an attack on you, nor a disagreement, but a genuine question as to what is your internal context to your statements- it is a context I'm lacking, as my social group is generally very cynical on the quality of NYTimes. (For the record, I like NYTimes, but the volume of cynicism in my peer group has caused me difficulty in my relationship with that specific publisher.)
