The NYT could do long risky exposes on power when they had a near media and print advertising monopoly in NYC. There’s not enough money for this anymore now that they compete for eyeball-seconds with Buzzfeed listicles like “what celebrity do these chihuahuas most look like?”
- WoahNoun 4y agoLooking at the front page of the NYT right now and I don't see anything like what you are claiming. In fact their top article today is a long-form investigative piece into Haiti's debt to France. >THE RANSOM - For generations, Haitians were forced to pay France for their freedom. How much was a mystery — until now. The Times scoured centuries-old documents to find out.
- wolverine876 4y agoWhile that's an interesting piece, it's more fitting a history book. It's not 'French corporations interfering in Hatian elections', or 'Biden administration hiding corruption in Justice Department prosecutions'.
- WoahNoun 4y agoThe piece highlights how the history of crippling debt impacts Haiti right now. In fact, most of the piece is about the present-day impact. Not for the history books.
