What IS it with that fucking paper??? If they aren't hacking at the dead horse of anti-Biden drama, they're fluffing Trump's cotton-candy hair. Media has been more than complicit in elevating the crap and corruption that is the Trump "presidency."

Money.

Trump creates chaos, not stability.

Stability doesn’t sell views to eyeballs.

NYT wants money because capitalism was allowed to completely corrupt journalism, so they want chaos to sell more views to more eyeballs.

Yes.

Also, even more (loads and loads more!) money for the owners:

Chaos provides excellent cover for insider traders and recipients of undeserved government largesse to make bank.

How much retail investor money was extracted by GOPers (mostly) in the lead up to each round of TACO pronouncements, backdowns, new pronouncements, …?

How did/does Alligator Auschwitz cost $450M to build & operate for year one? Who is benefitting? And how much does a completely flooded info zone (economic, geopolitical, immigration, …) contribute to providing cover for such financial corruption?

The owner gets massive tax-cuts, circulation goes up under Tangerini the madman, and I've always suspected they have far-right donors (if you know what I mean) they are coasting on their former reputation, as is WaPo.

Agree. NYT is nauseating. I canceled right after election.

Yup. Easiest financial decision I ever made. They were ALWAYS more conservative than anyone have given them credit for, but since Obama, they've been in the tank for the right-wing. (Even beforehand -- they were big W fans) & what they did to Hillary is unforgivable. The whole "Trump embed" crap the 1st go round was appalling -- Maggie Haberman should have been on his payroll & Peter was almost as bad. They are acting as if ANY of this is "normal," when even MAGAts know it isn't. How can they even print this garbage? He's set up a DEATH CAMP for God's sake. He's talking about SLAVERY coming back! And, there's the NYT "maybe this time it'll work." Disgusting.

The NYT inexplicably refused my digital subscription renewal efforts by AmEx, Apple Pay, and PayPal, so fuck them.

They obviously prefer fascist policies. God knows a well run country would be positively boring.

And they never forgave Biden for it, after the chaos-monkey named trump.

I canceled months before the election because of their 10:1 negative stories about Biden’s slip-ups

Dear Ogre: please continue to keep me grounded. Reality is slipping away on all fronts. We’re falling into a political, social and economic abyss and I don’t know if/how there’s anything that can save us.

Your posts always get me going! Trickle down economics doesn't fucking work. The people who have benefitted the most from it bought the elections and the government to do more of the same for themselves at the expense of the rest of us. This will never fucking work for the people it was only meant to work for the corporate people, which it does. The gap between the rich and poor is only accelerating and the Big Bullshit Bill deserves no benefit of the doubt because it is cruel and vengeful toward the American people and will cause profound harm to us. The only thing that will work is wealth redistribution and taxation of the richest fucking people the world has ever known.

Absolutely excellent article. Spot on!! I cancelled my print subscription after the hack job they did on Biden after the debate. 1/2 assed reporting is what they specialize in!!

It should be the New York Times to close shop because they are totally irrelevant. I will read the Onion if I want Satire.

They are the NYET is more ways than one. I wouldn't be surprised to find Russian oligarchs to be major donors.

Okay, this is the one that sent me over the edge into paying to subscribe. What fucking amazing and lethal snark!

I cancelled my NYT subscription last year and told the customer service representative it was because of their normalizing Mango Mussolini and trying to sabotage Biden.

Now apparently the only good reputation they have left is for their cooking articles (but access to the recipes costs extra, the greedy rat bastards), and for puzzles.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, O.O. You bring me much enjoyment and many laughs.

Love your newsletter. Thanks for telling it like it is. I still read the biased NYT because you need to know what your enemy is up to.

Is the NYT still claiming “both sides” as their excuse for their one-sided reporting?

That is a most accurate insight. I don't trust any paper that employs a TERF and many misogynists.
