Frustrated minds think alike. I was just wrapping up an update to the Trump Headline Corrector regarding this when I saw this post.

We need to keep the pressure on. Also, I made a snarky comment in one of the Times articles about their propensity to favor Trump in the headlines. They didn't publish it, of course (and it wasn't mean at all!).

I'm sure there are people in their newsroom who are fed up, too, so this publicizing does have a chance of changing things, methinks. Thanks for the article.

Stuff like this makes me question whether I should keep my New York Times subscription. I dropped my Washington Post subscription because I could not tolerate my money paying some of their loathsome right-wing columnists. I have kept my nyt subscription because I feel like I should subscribe to at least one mainstream publication. Is it time to cancel?

Yes. Long since cancelled my NYT subscription (I actually find them more biased against the left than the Post)

Personally I've found that I get more balanced and accurate reporting about US politics from non-US-based media, so that's where I've moved my attention. You could consider subscribing to The Guardian, for example, instead of the NYT.

If you don't live in DC or NY try a local paper. Mine happens to be the Arizona Republic but at this point they are objectively better than NYT. They'd have exposed the hell out of a George Santos prior to the election, that's for sure.

Damn, trump is telling the truth about one thing, fake news is rampant.

Capitalism combined with greed will always rule as long as The Kings and Queens control We Peasants with mindless diversion tactics

Why does the paper Trump calls the failing New York Times and Republicans love to hate want Republicans to win?

Mike, not Republicans as much as trump. It's simple, greedy people need more money and trump keeps their paper a hot commodity. Also his favoring of the wealthy with tax cuts certainly contributes to most NYT readessi.
