There's an irony about the media (including the Times) screaming about Trump trying to fight China economically, and then the Times comes out with a piece about how China is getting everything they want from him?
Makes you wonder what side the Times is really on here.
- HardCodedBias 10mo agoIt seems pretty clear.
- kjkjadksj 10mo agoI don’t see how there is any cognitive dissonance there. Trump can simultaneously do disastrous things for our economy in terms of global trade with China as well as allow for us to be routed by Chinese strategists.
- etchalon 10mo agoThe Times is on the side of "reporting things that people say."
- apawloski 10mo agoCan you be clearer about The Times screaming about Trump trying to fight China economically? What are you referring to specifically from them?
- TrainedMonkey 10mo agoAll journalist organizations, unfortunately, have an incentive to bias content towards maximum clickbait. The ones that don't end up being outcompeted.
- disgruntledphd2 10mo agoThis is not true. You just need to read the business papers, as they have incentives to be accurate. I like the FT, but apparently the non opinion WSJ is ok.
- gamblor956 10mo agoThere's an irony to treating the media as a monolithic entity when it is comprised of hundreds of publications and studios and tens of thousands of employees. Non-techies don't conflate Apple with Netflix. Why do techies consistently conflate the NYT with Newsnation?
- DarkNova6 10mo agoI think the keyphrase is the "trying" in "trying to fight China economically". The current administration simply does not have any incentives, well of resources or intellectual capacity to pursue any long-term growth goals. It's a garage fire-sale and China has just to sit there and wait.
