A never great News Agency has become a shadow of their former self: admittedly biased, occasionally good content.
A never great News Agency has become a shadow of their former self: admittedly biased by their own Ombudsman and editors. Occasionally good content can't make up for their more frequent bad, or their willingness to deceive, commit lies of omission, or present things in a biased way. (Never trusting their readership with the whole truth).

Bias[edit source]

           Main article: New York Times/Bias
Check Your Biases IFLA.jpg
  • Admitted Bias - Their own Publishers, Ombudsman, Editors, Newsmen, staff, have all openly admitted the bias: Liz Spayd, Jim Rutenberg, Dean Baquet, Arthur S. Brisbane, Margaret Sullivan, Daniel Okrent, Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr, Jill Abramson, Frank Bruni, have all said they were biased.
  • Award Bias - If the people on the far left like Poynter, J-Schools, Pulitzer, and so on, all praise you and lavish you with awards, that also hows what you stand for. Yes, far lefties love to give other far lefties participation trophies, which only shows that you say what other far left organizations want to hear. Look through the list of Pulitzer Prize winners for conservatives.
  • Confessed Bias - Project Veritas did a sting (investigative journalism) on lessers at the company (they didn't know the cameras were running). Nick Dudich, Des Shoe, Todd Gordon, freely confessed or bragged about the Paper and their personal biases, and how they use/abuse that to bias others in the Press/Public.
  • Observed Bias - New York Post, Beri Weiss, Economists have openly commented on the Paper or their Journalists/Editors bias, their stated position all align with the far left, Columbia journalism school did a study, and pointed out their obvious bias.
  • Selection Bias - Then there are journalists/commentators they hire (or the articles they cover). The clique of NYT often admit they are left-leaning progressives (the majority), with maybe a few token RINOs, or Moderates. When the lefties leave, they are often more open about their biases in where they go or what they say. When the others leave, they admit how hostile the workplace was towards anyone with any intellectual diversity or wrong-think (e.g. conservative values).
  • Statistical Bias - When all your errors are in one direction? That hints at a bias. Like when the virtually every scandal, exaggeration or someone is revealed to have an agenda, favors the left, and is against the right? When the NYT scooped or caught ignoring scandals, virtually every one makes the left look bad or the right look good? That's a strong indication of bias.
  • Slogan - Even their slogan, "All the News That's Fit to Print", demonstrates that they selectively censor/edit what they don't want others to hear/read. Not, "All the News"... only the News they deem is, "Fit to Print".

Trustability[edit | edit source]

The consequence of all that obvious bias, is that they have they crashed in trustability... and they destroyed trust in the media (or are at least contributors to the problem), and brought the whole industry down. [1].

The question is if 75%+ of people out there, don't trust the Newspapers, then don't you think they might be doing something wrong? And don't you think there's something wrong with the other 25%? (That just happen to be strongly liberal/democrat)? If you filter out the partisans and just look at the informed, trust in the New York Times is even lower.

Since College Graduates have less trust than the less educated, so their narrative that it's just the uneducated conservatives that don't trust them is backwards. The more you do research, and fact check them, you're less likely to trust them in the future.

When you track subscription rates over the decades, they've plummeted. (Though there's been a small Trump spike amongst the far left). More and more people are wising up to not reading partisan propaganda rags to get "news". [2]

Elitism[edit | edit source]

They really want to program into their readership that there's two classes of people: your betters and the hoi polloi (the rest of us): the ones that don't have the lavish weddings, have ungodly sense of fashion or trends. In the rest of the nation, man buns and perfectly coifed beards and plaid shirts on a guy faux-lumberjack that has a list of his favorite "products" for hair and body, but can't work an axe or saw, is something to be mocked. In NYT it's something to be celebrated like fake Boobs in Hollywood.[3]
