Noam Chomsky described the NYT and WP as "establishment" newspapers, representing the left and right leaning sides of the establishment.
WSJ is fine for business news if you don't look at the editorial page, which has been the case for decades.
USA Today was "TV that you can wrap fish in."
- will4274 5y agoHonestly, I like Chomsky a lot, but I think this quote reveals more about Chomsky than about newspapers. Or, he was describing a very different WP from the one that exists today.
- analog31 5y agoIt was a fairly old book, so your point is well taken. Also, the boundary between left and right has shifted throughout the years.
