I had this thought the other day - what was the last big story the NYT broke that wasn't Trump related in some way? Like, actual investigative work whether in local governments or in other countries. I can't think of a single significant story that the NYT itself broke and led the charge on
- eppsilon 6y agoFWIW, they won a Pulitzer for this investigative story about NYC taxi drivers: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/19/nyregion/nyc-taxis-medallions-suicides.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/19/nyregion/nyc-taxis-medall...
- xhkkffbf 6y agoGood try, but just grep for Trump and you'll find the connection. "Mr. Freidman, who was partners with Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer, disclosed the plan in a 2012 speech at Yeshiva University. "
- CRConrad 6y agoTBF, that single mention is just a tangential remark for characterisation; IMO that doesn't count as the article as a whole or in itself being "Trump-related." It's more like, in any story where they want to point out that the subject is a sleazeball, they say he has "mob connections." That doesn't make it a story about the mafia. (Yeah, that this was the example that came to mind does say something. More about Trump than about me, I think.)
- Bud 6y agoIf you think this, you clearly don't read the NYT regularly.
- xkeysc0re 6y agoI read it regularly and work there. I should edit my comment to say "recently"
- genericone 6y agoSuggest you delete this comment to prevent your cancellation. You appear to be a rational but dirty not-good traitor after all. /s
- xkeysc0re 6y agoYou can't be cancelled if you never say you're sorry.
