Two paragraphs - New York Times

| No Comments

Great essay on one of the primary mongers of Fake News - from Michael Goodwin writing in The New York Post

You should go and read the whole thing but Michael's thesis is contained in these two paragraphs:

In effect, the Times has become a victim of the monster it created. Instead of informing readers and challenging them to question their own views, an approach the paper was proud of under legendary editor Abe Rosenthal, it now provides comfort food for the committed.

That historic mistake is biting the people who made it. The business model, which has thrived by being a bullhorn for the Trump resistance, now depends on a willingness to deliver a certain point of view without the slightest deviation.

They no longer report - they pander to the progressive narrative. Sad really as I used to like reading it.
