As much as the NYT is a shadow of its former self, it's still news and not a tabloid rag. If you want "local news" like the NYP writers it you might as well just read The National Inquirer.

In case it wasn't obvious, some of us want some New York focused news. By its name and its content, the "National" Enquirer isn't that. As for the NYT, it has had an unjustified "AI hate" preaching article every single day of this year, including today. I consider this to be worse than tabloid talk.

  If your alternative to news is fantasy then I’d suggest you have more problems than finding local news.

    Huh. NYPost is a real news website, not a fantasy news website. The fantasy is in your head. NYPost actually is an older newspaper than NYTimes by 50 years, making NYPost more established and historic, not less. It freely shares news without a paywall. In contrast, NYTimes makes up AI hate articles, trying to subvert the zeitgeist of the century. It also doesn't really care to spread information, considering its aggressive paywall.

      Repeating an untruth doesn't make it true, something the NYP could stand to learn. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-post/ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-post/

        There is no analysis there of how much AI hate each of the two spread. It is the perspective that matters to me.

        Almost as though “AI hate” is an arbitrary metric that you just happen to be obsessed with.

        NYTimes is well known to be anti-AI, especially anti-OpenAI. Some of us actually have a memory of the news we read. It also is objectively hostile to anonymous readers and scrapers. There is nothing arbitrary about it. As I noted, AI is the zeitgeist, so this is not inconsequential. AI aside, NYTimes is for elites, whereas NYPost is for the people. Guess who won the election.
