This kind of analysis... I can tell you as a leftist... The NYT is closer to the GOP on everything but the DEI shit the Hillary dems used against Bernie that has metastasized into a cancer on their for nothing but paying Neera Tanden and Donna Brazil's bills party. The Left is labor solidarity forever and nothing else. DNC need not apply.

As a communist, I covered this in my first previously:

Also, in what universe is the neoliberal, anti-labor NYT center-left? And if The Grayzone in the ultraviolet territory, where does that leave the explicitly Communist Monthly Review, outside of MBFC’s Overton window? Surprise, it’s to the right of it

As per when Clinton normalized cutting benefits and Obama normalized killing American citizens via drone, the "resistance" Clintonian shit will only be used against us to stifle the left. Any "radicalism" that preserves capital will be allowed to thrive like Trump, any that doesn't will be killed on the vine like Occupy and Bernie

It's not just new York times. All our national news sources did the same. And since it happened here they should know better. Needless to say, it has been a huge eye opener... And guess what, they even asked: "is this terrorism?"

This kind of behavior is harmful to the legitimacy of journalism itself and entirely self defeating at pushing an agenda.

When journalism is mistrusted, misinformation is boosted. When people find out information is misrepresented, they will seek out other sources and be less likely to believe information even when it is legitimate.

We all lost today and the significance of this loss has not dawned on the news agencies. I really hope they don't come crying again about how journalism is dying because people don't care for buying newspapers anymore.

I really hope at some point we go back to the apolitical, strict facts representation and unbiased coverage of events. That's what journalism is supposed to be. Not this tailored version of events reporting that we often get.

A first miss from the paper known for the reliable reporting of Judy Miller. SAD!

Unexpected? No.
