- eutropia 6y agoRemember: the thing about neoliberalism is that it ain't new, and it ain't liberal. NYT follows the narrative supportive of the corporate agenda writ large, not because of an active choice about what it does write about, but because of the glaringly newsworthy things it ignores: like ongoing imperialism and terrorism committed by the US all over the world. This is true for most all major news orgs in the US.
- Glide 6y agoYou’re not alone. His statements don’t line up with the ruckus after the Tom Cotton op-Ed or Bari Weiss’s departure.
- easyat 6y agoDoes supporting far right coups and writing context free puff pieces like this(constantly)[1] after a massive turnout for the very left wing party that the NYT railed against seem center left? Or, their uncritical push for the war in Iraq. Or their complete silence on the United State's role in Yemen etc... They write articles like this weekly, if that is not neoliberal then what is it?
