The New York Times was once known as the “newspaper of record.” Its coverage largely determined what was news, and what wasn’t. And if the Times ran a story, hundreds of smaller newspapers would follow suit.
Those days are long gone. The Times, today, is a niche left-wing publication with zero credibility and little influence outside its blue urban bubble. In fact, the Times has given up any pretense of being a fair arbiter, and has come out of the closet as a vicious partisan.
For example, today’s NYT email, which begins:
“Trump’s slavish stupidity.” Not much doubt about where these reporters and editors stand on the political spectrum! Is there any reason why anyone should take seriously anything the New York Times writes about the news? I don’t think so.
