If, by accident, the NY Times ever published a story that was 100 percent factual, they would publish 100 stories that were 100 percent lies to make up for the error.
It continues to mystify me that anyone gives any credibility to what the NY Times says. The only good use for this paper is fish wrap or lining the bottom of a bird cage BEFORE reading.
It is revealing to take a tour thru the "Comments" section following a particularly egregious NYT article.
As a sane person, you'd probably expect to find at least a majority of respondents questioning the article's veracity.
Shockingly, you'll find 98% of the respondents expressing complete agreement. Or, perhaps, demanding an even harder left approach. Often, any conservative response is limited to 1-in-50. And it will be the calmest, most rational response of the lot.
Clearly, the New York Times writes to its audience.
