- 0goel0 6y agoWhat you link to doesn't back your claim. It tells me that people think orgs are partisan, not that they actually are.
- syrrim 6y agoGP is making a claim about the readership, not the orgs themselves.
- Wolfenstein98k 6y agoIf I said "all the audience of Fox is confused - Fox is actually left-wing, it's just a bunch of confused right-wingers who used it as their primary source of news", would you believe me? The audience tells you the message. There's a reason no one calls Fox left-wing, or NYT right-wing.
- duxup 6y ago>The New York Times is as partisan That article talks about the reader's partisanship, not the actual content or particular news org.
- generalizations 6y ago> The New York Times is as partisan in its readership Yes, that's what the parent said.
- Anon1096 6y agoSeeing as the article is about the NYT newsroom, it's not limited to the readership. And the article directly says it's not just the readers: "a large portion of the paper’s audience, a number of its employees, and the president himself saw it as aligned with the #resistance."
- Thorrez 6y agoJust because the NYT newsroom is partisan doesn't mean it's as partisan as those of MSNBC or Fox.
