“This is really rich coming from the New York Times. Why don’t they start first by trying to publish the truth.”
The problem isn’t that the Times is not publishing the truth. The problem is, they see an entirely different truth. A capitalist looking at people sitting at benches assembling his product sees free labor that negotiated their wage on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. A communist looking at the same thing sees a poor, oppressed people forced into slavery by an unjust system. The Times sees, literally sees, a horrendous, fascist dictator who is oppressing them. No amount of explanation or exposition on the part of conservatives will change their opinion. They are immune to facts.
You’re exactly right. A few months ago, Showtime aired a multi-part documentary showing how the NYT covered the Trump Administration starting soon after inauguration. These people see themselves on a mission to discover the truth that they imagine exists somewhere and that fits their worldview. Dogged and deluded they are.
