The NYT just overstated the amount of COVID infected by 800,000.
800,000! How many people only saw the original article and not the "correction". This happens ALL the time.
An even better perspective from someone who is NOT a conservative: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/10/11/continuing-bizarre-decline-in-science-reporting-at-nyt https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/10/11/continuing-biza...
If you aren't looking at the traditional news with a skeptical eye, you are getting an extremely filtered and heavily slanted view of the world.
This whole mythos of journalism being unbiased is a recent fabrication. Look how many newspapers across the country had "Republic" or "Democrat" in their mast head. Bias was expected - and proudly advertised. Far more refreshing than the games currently being played by the "traditional news" organizations today.
