Some things they do well. Some things not so well. Doesn't have to be one or the other.
They serve the owner class.... What do they do well?
You answered you're own question.
Honestly if you can't go shoplift a copy tomorrow and find five things you like about it, you're a hack and miserable prick.
If you're suggesting there is value to be found in the New York times, I haven't seen any in a couple of decades. Of course I almost never try to read that paper these days, but on the rare occasions that I do it's just a waste of time. There's nothing interesting at all.
The fucking crossword puzzle too huh? Give me a break.
That depends on who looks at it, too.
It can very well be seen as all bad, why wouldn't it?
Because that's idiotic. The crossword puzzle is "bad" too? You can't learn anything from a single one of their articles?
Writing off the entire thing as "all bad" is based on your emotional feelings about the NYT, not any rational or factual reasoning.
I didn't say that I perceive the whole of NYT as bad. In fact I didn't say anything about how I perceive the NYT at all.
I was merely trying to explain that such a subjective assessment may be very different from subject to subject doing the assessment.
You can very well find good things in NYT based on your own emotional feelings.
Okay I get that, everyone has different taste.
They don't like the font, too?
The weather reports are bad?
If someone can't find a few nice things to say about anything they're a cunt, you may not know this yet but it is true.
