I used to think the NYT was a bastion of real journalism, and supported them as such for a while. Eventually I picked up on their blatant sensationalism, hardly better than Fox News.
I've since switched to NPR and it's a world of difference. The most blessedly dispassionate headlines you could ask for.
- CamperBob2 7y agoI normally hate "BSAB" arguments, but in this case they are hard to defend against. The modern New York Times is basically the result of staring too long into the Fox News abyss.
- runamok 7y agoI had to Google bsab to come up with "both sides are bad". Can't agree the NYT even approaches Fox though. This seems like a simple case of libel. The headline invokes a mob who will likely not even read the article which has more nuance. Just a mercenary approach to get more eyeballs aka micropennies.
