Even as a little kid, I refused to follow my teachers' admonition to only cite the Times. I knew they sucked then and they suck even more now. Inveterate liars since the days of Duranty.
Will NYT find a way out of their many past news fails? No. Economic success as an established upmarket brand provides money enough to wait it out. Reader comments recently express "doubts" about past news lapses, especially re Biden, but where do Dem chattering classes go for news, crosswords, life style guidance or party talk in one easy package? The WaPo is turning its ship around and their failed journo/pundits, who naively thought Bezos was a personal NPR pool boy, are now beckoned to walk the plank - out of economic necessity.
At this point, NYT might have just done some straight on reporting without apologizing for egregious past lapses. The old "let's forget the first half debacle & just do better henceforth" halftime team talk but new Russiagate drops require a serious forced defense of reporting that was wrong, embarrassingly partisan and oddly unverified. Much NYT bandwidth will be absorbed playing defense in a FBI CIA WH plus new media space that resists control. This comes at a moment when public trust in media is an all time low.
OTH RussiaG is complicated, unlike the Biden affair, and confusion may reduce interest over time. Old Dem wounds will be reopened and bleed regardless. Maybe after the fall, a Tapper like totem will write an apologia conspiracyplaing tract documenting how sources systematically deceived them. We reported what truth we knew from once trusted sources, not our foul, nor bias just will-full deception by CIA, FBI, DNC, Fusion, plus but can it work twice?
They suck on the reporting of the Labor Data Chief firing too. I think it was 7 of the last 11 reports were revised, mostly downward. As a former public company CFO if I ran a shop like that I would be out on my ass is minutes, rightfully so. And some wonder why government anything should not be trusted by default. And then what about the decision to hold rates - was the lousy BLS data an input to that decision?
I quit taking them seriously after 9/11. Down hill from there till Covid finished them off. What has been hardest for me to get over is friends and family that still consider them a reliable source of information and opinion. Every few months one of them posts a chart supposedly rating media bias seemingly totally unaware of all the trusted news initiative bs that makes much of what they and other trusted sources hawk as little more than government press releases/propaganda. It’s even worse to think that they don’t understand the importance of free speech and think it’s acceptable to curtail it if they perceive the ends as somehow in the public interest. Depressing and disappointing
I don't think they're "screwing it up," Matt. I think they're purposely putting their thumb on the scale. It probably works for 90% of their readers. I'm glad you're working to tell the real story.
The Grey Lady Winked exposes the NYT as almost entirely propaganda, and their goal appears to be to destroy America’s identity. Their obsessive hate of Jews is spectacularly hypocritical, too.
Matt, I don’t know how you do it, but boy am I grateful that you are out there every day uncovering the truth. If those clowns had any integrity they would give up their Pulitzer. We know they won’t because like Fred said they are purposely putting their thumb on the scale. Those bastards!
Racket/Matt - Thank you for your work. It's because media like the NYT has become a lying, agenda-driven organization that we need people like you. PS - Keep covering Russiagate. This is the first time we have access to these documents and we need to discuss the truth. The true "basket of deplorables" is taking shape now.

In other words, more phony shit from this bunch of leftist phonies.
The NYT didn't "screw up" the story. It simply knowingly, willingly, even eagerly, played its role in the hoax

"reliable source of information and opinion". Seems to be getting harder to discern the difference with them!

"Give back the Pullitzer, you clowns!" Says, it all.

+100!
They need to be sued into bankruptcy. Media was in on the Conspiracy.
