    Yeah they’re not gonna do that. The NYT is a myth. Something befucked citizens talk about amongst themselves to make themselves feel better. A magical time when ‘a free press’ was to ensure power was held to account, and the general public was informed.

    Not no more. Not for a long while.

      Even the few high points of the NYT, such as the Watergate coverage, were aberrations in an otherwise nearly uniform history of servility and deference to the ruling class.
