So, you're saying the NYT hasn't changed much?
Liberal media aided fascists in the past and continue to aid fascists and authoritarian now.
I think peoples view that the increasingly partisan media has political aims is causing them to forget these are companies.
They are making money (or trying) and they will say or do whatever furthers that aim. They are not out for the public good, they can't be.
If you want proof just look at CNN and their waffling in the last 10 years as they try to both sides shit so as to not lose increasingly shrinking cable news subscribers.
It's fascinating that when I've called out NYT for promoting invasions for the US and Israel, and whitewashing racist actions by both, I'm called a Russian bot who hates facts and reality and need to go back to Russia or whatever the thought terminating cliche of the time was.
When I use the same NYT as proof for anything bad "The Good Guy In Office" does (Drone strikes, blocking labor, illegal occupations), they're bought out soulless corporate media and we should never trust a single thing they have ever said.
