The New York Times represents a special case in the spiraling loss of credibility among the American mainstream media. For generations now, it has been the dominant newspaper in America; the most well-known and the most influential. It’s motto is “All the news that’s fit to print.”

But it also has been a leader in the leftward lurch in journalism, which has now turned into a full-throttle route of any remnants of fair and objective reporting. The Times has made itself into a thought-leader of the American progressive movement and an overt propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. It drips with unmistakeable partisanship.

It’s motto more accurately now might be: “All the progressive news we can find, and some we just make up.”

If I wanted to read made-up “news” I would buy a gossip magazine while in the grocery line.

SMH at the 180 from what looked to be a very patriotic paper to a hate filled, FakeFest of spoiled, immature Easterners who pretend they’re better and smarter than everyone else

Democrat president during WW2 plus Stalinist Russia was on “our” side.

They covered up Soviet mass murder for years.

It drips with the same profit interest as all media: advertising dollars.

From an article about “Mic”...
“task was to translate Mic’s Facebook optimization process to Google. This meant analyzing search trends in order to generate key phrases — everything from “What time is the convention” and “Watch Trump’s speech live” to “How to pick up women” — and assigning those key phrases to a staff of SEO writers, who then reverse-engineered stories around them. “

For those with access to twitter, I did an extended thread this morning on the origins and evolution of the “news” media, why they do NOT care about revenues, and how they are light years from the journalistic ethics they once all adhered to (or pretended to).

Oops, if you don’t know, my Twitter name is @LarrySchweikart

Unlike some of the fascist so-called “antifa” thugs, I use my real name. They can come and get me.

Won’t work, because the checkout counter tabloids are more truthful than the Slimes!

Who could forget that radio hit they played all the time in the 1970’s? Though I preferred some of Eric Carmen’s other stuff.
