This article is everything that is broken in media and it honestly pains me to see NYT printing this stuff. However, I am also a capitalist and I suppose I can’t blame NYT for doing what it has to do to earn a profit. It’s the incentives we have.
- refurb 4y agoThere is clearly a market for it, but I guess my issue is that it’s passed off as “news” and the NYT benefits from a reputation as a “paper of record” so people think they’re reading a well researched article when it would be better characterized as opinion or fluff. The only saving grace is the internet now allows one to quickly research past news articles. It’s pretty hilarious to get a reminder about some trend that caused an uproar in 2007 that the NYT started that turned out to be completely false. Serves as a good reminder to be very skeptical about everything you read no matter the source.
