- returningfory2 2y agoYeah I am curious how this will play out for her in the long run. One interesting dynamic here is the media's bias towards negative news. In the run up to congestion pricing the NY Times was putting out these very anti-congestion pricing articles (we need to be anxious that congestion pricing is happening!). But as soon as it was cancelled they flipped and now have put out a bunch of articles portraying the cancellation as a blunder (we need to be anxious that congestion pricing is _not_ happening!). I wonder in the long run what the steady state media framing of this whole episode will be.
- devilbunny 2y agoThe NYT is predictable: imagine an upper-middle-class woman and her concerns, and the NYT coverage will reflect that. My wife is a subscriber and has been for years, though we live far from NY and actually have only been there once together.
- kccqzy 2y agoNot just the NYT, most media these days will try to stir up controversy and make you angry. First you are made angry about the implementation of the congestion pricing, then you are made angry about its cancellation.
