The NY Times prides itself on its 5th grade reading level.
- coolso 5y agoTrash talk the Times however you see fit and I'll probably back you up on it (they are laughably liberally/"progressive"ly biased, and continuing to run cover for the current administration as best they can despite it not really working as per the polls), their writing standards are, in my opinion, impeccable and a standout among news organizations, but I suppose not everyone can be perfect always.

- hn_version_0023 5y agoI was joking, of course. I don’t actually think there’s anything wrong with their writing standards — but its fun to poke fun! We all make mistakes!
- freyr 5y agoThe problem is that it’s worded in a confusing way, not that it’s “dumbed-down” for a general audience.
