> The NY Times has devolved into a political pamphlet and as such has - at least in my eyes - lost nearly all credibility. This is a shame, the paper used to represent the best of what journalism had to offer, "all the news that's fit to print" and all. Now they actively engage in revisionism - the '1619 project' - and push forward the narrative of 'white guilt' and other such divisive nonsense. This is exactly what happened, and it is very sad to watch. The downfall of an institution. What is also sad to see is such a comment getting downvoted, on HN of all places. You‘d expect people to have read a history book or two, but apparently not. None of this woke stuff holds up to any intellectual standards, and is terribly damaging for everyone involved. Why the supposed „coastal elite“ falls for it I don’t know.
