As a teenager growing up in South Florida in the 70s, I came in contact with very few pretentious left-wing types. Most kids were into either Disco or Hard Rock. Regardless of their taste in music and fashion, it seemed like everybody just wanted to have a good time and try to do something with their life.
When I moved to New York in my early Twenties, that was my first contact with smug left-wingers. I had a visceral dislike for the writing style of both the New York Times And The Village Voice, with the Voice being a snarkier and more vulgar version of the stuffed shirt Times.
Funny thing is, the only part of the Village Voice that I liked was the sports page that routinely took mediocre New York athletes and coaches to task with ruthless sarcasm. By contrast, the New York Times sports section was so formal, they were referred to athletes by refrrring to them as “Mr. Ewing” or “Mr. Strawberry”!
Living in a deep blue City made me realize that I was a Conservative at heart.
The nypost needs to investigate the surge in New York Times 'digital' subscribers... were they paid for in advance by George Soros? Kind of like when Arabs pay people to sit on on corrupt American's 'speeches' - often people who can't speak or understand English?
If other papers had similar surges in digital subscriptions it's probably OK - but if they didn't someone might be buying influence.
Time to check it out. Who What When Where Why and How... Let's find out how corrupt the New York Times is... The public has a right to know - AND advertisers have a right to know.
I think editor Richard Berke revealed the rot when he revealed that the editorial staff of the paper was all homosexual. That started the Times on an agenda driven propaganda outfit.
Except for that singular revelation in an interview, none of the Time staff thought it necessary to reveal that they had a personal interest in the LGBT agenda for better treatment or gay marriage. But the paper flogged that agenda for years.
Once you take opinion off the editorial page and onto the news pages and the front page as factual news or news with a slanted agenda, there is little to stop the slide down that slippery slope.
The Gray Lady was leftist propaganda by the 1930s, at least.
I never took that commie rag seriously. Never.
