Do you have any evidence to show the NYT moving against progressivism like you claim? Hordes of HN posters have agreed that they NYT’s shift away from neutrality towards progressivism in recent years has destroyed their positive view of the publication.
- zwieback 5y agoSorry, no hard evidence. I've just been reading the NYT online for the past year or so and have been struck by the number of articles portraying speech policing as a real problem coming from the left. I don't know if the NYT generally shifted from more neutral to more progressive, just that they perceive the excesses of wokism in education and media as a real problem.
- tarboreus 5y agoI think a better characterization is that the NYT is huge, and there are groups that are "woke," groups that are traditionally liberal, and a lot of other groups as well. The trend line has been toward the progressive wing, but there are major constituencies active at the paper that aren't in that camp.
