Wait but the words highlighted in the word usage trends don't support the claim that NYT "abandoned it's commitment to nonpartisan reporting"
Explain how a big uptick in the use of words like "feminism", "islamaphobia" and "anti-semitism" mean the NYT became partisan?
I have a lot of beef with the NYT but the graphs don't show what he claims. And if he actually believes they do, then I have seriously questions about his viewpoints.
Especially considering events that happened around the phase change, like the muslim ban and Me Too movement, that could easily explain the step changes in word frequency around 2014-2016. And is there any comparison with other news outlets word frequencies?
If anything, the step changes show that before 2014ish, NYT was failing at recognizing important issues that they have now started reporting on.
