NYT has become closer to state-run media in the past 5 years than I ever thought possible. But that more likely reflects my own naivete and lack of imagination about what the NYT is and represents rather than a major shift in its content (excepting all the idpol stuff, that's new). The assumptions by NYT writers and readers about who 'the skeptical public' is and what they believe, and the nature of 'misinformation' and what it would mean to 'clean up the platform' are absurd projections by the 'paper of record'.
