The New York Times Descends Into Lunacy
American Conservative ^ | 2/15/2021 | Matthew Purple

Posted on 02/15/2021 4:24:52 AM PST by Onthebrink

Conservatives over the years have created a cottage industry dedicated to monitoring media bias at places like the New York Times. The formula is simple: Find some former liberal journalist who has repented of his ways (or at least a right-wing activist who knows his way around the press); create a blog or TV segment with a catchy name (*TimesWatch*); begin rooting through articles and transcripts for subtle examples of left-wing slant; slap them up on the screen; voila, instant outrage.

But they keep finding sub-basements and descending into those!

"I say all this not because I hate the Times; just the opposite. I still read it every morning,"

I read no farther. It's too bad he put it so near the end.

No matter how carefully , anyone who even reads the NYT, especially every day, is so badly misinformed that his opinions are not worth reading. Once someone lies, especially without repentance, you can simply never again tust a single thing they say.

So why would you read the NYT ever again, knowing their publication is full of lies?

Why call them stupid or lunatics. They know what they’re doing to bring Marxism to America. Don’t underestimate the scumbags of the left.

They’ve gotten much worse lately, though. Since 2015.

The reason people still read it is for the facts. For instance, if they say “The United States has over 300 million people and they’re all stupid,” at least you know (1) that the U.S has over 300 million people, or you’re pretty sure, and (2) that they’re not stupid.

“In other news, birds fly and fish swim.”

Penguins are birds. They do not fly.

From now on all the government not allow ANY birds to fly. And maybe fund procedures to surgically remove wings from birds that CAN fly. That way Penguins won’t be made to feel inferior. It’s really the only fair thing to do when you think about it.

And OFF we go! This is how the Times editorial mind works in one simple extremely stupid made-up example.

Penguins don’t fly?

I gotta quit drinking when I’m at The South Pole.

I could swear I’ve seen penguins flying in formation.
