NYT is neutral?
- dudus 7y agoI'm not trying to start a debate about who is neutral or who is not. As long as it's not too far right or left I'm game
- eesmith 7y agoI think you should consider that "right or left" isn't the only axis to consider. Do you want your news primarily provided by large corporations? Eg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_controversies#Corporate-influence_concerns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_controversi... . Do you want your news primarily provided by companies controlled by rich, white old men? What conflict of interest might there be if your news sources come from a tradition which favors the American white professional class over other people in the US? Note that historically both the powerful left and right in the US were anti-segregation. Eg, much of the US labor movement was against racial equality. So just looking at left/right doesn't give a good understanding of the biases you might come across.
