NYTimes is one of those publications, like the Atlantic, that used to have quality writing but now chases clickbait... In a rush to the bottom to catch up with Gawker, Huffington Post, ...

  Some of the only reasonable journalism I’ve read in the past year has been from The Atlantic. I have a large group chat with friends all over the political spectrum and we all can engage with and appreciate it every time someone posts an article from there. In fact The Atlantic gets more links for us than just about any other publication. Really, what downfall are you on about?

    For starters how about this one. I’m sure the twitter blue checks all loved it! “Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice” https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/why-georgia-reopening-coronavirus-pandemic/610882/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/04/why-georg...

  The Atlantic's political desk is a little bit crap, but a lot of the politically adjacent stuff like arts and culture or city planning are fantastic.

Uh, no? Here's the only spot in that story where the word "Twitter" (I looked for "tweet" too) is used: > Throughout the summer, the Network Contagion Research Institute noticed a spike in extremist activity related to the Dutch protests on Twitter, Telegram and 4chan, the message board on which conspiracy theories spread largely unchecked The source for that statement is quite clearly NCRI. It's reporting news about twitter. It's not looking to twitter for news. And frankly your attempt to blur the distinction is exactly the kind of memery that I was takling about. The NYT is your enemy, so you feel justified in spinning arguments to "attack" them.
