Nothing has changed.
The last paragraph of the article is on target:
“Who would ever want to immigrate to such a vile and oppressive place? But it is extremely telling that this is not merely aired in the paper of record (as it should be), but that it is aggressively presented as objective reality. That’s propaganda, directed, as we now know, from the very top — and now being marched through the entire educational system to achieve a specific end. To present a truth as the truth is, in fact, a deception. And it is hard to trust a paper engaged in trying to deceive its readers in order for its radical reporters and weak editors to transform the world.”
I’d say they’ve graduated to radicalism.
They don't just take anti-American positions on this or that issue any more.
They flat out deny the legitimacy of the USA as a nation.
I'm diagnosing butt hurt over losing Cold War, compounded by the realization that they never really did control minds.
Trump's victory + the internet is what pinned down that last part.
Their credo:
Death to an America where Trump could be elected!
And to think, all of this, the complete unraveling of the Left and their being exposed for all to see for the evil they are at their core has been done by one man.
Donald J Trump!
The NYT is swallowing poison and waiting for Trump to die.
I love it when the light bulb finally goes on in some people. The problem is all the damage they do on the way to a-ha.
They were more true even with slavery than they are among the baby killing and socialism loving Left.
It’s better to be hated by the likes of the people at the slimes than ever be acceptable to them. They are the enemy right there with the whole DNC.
The guy thinks with his genatalia. Which is too bad, because he was once a good writer.
BAZINGA!!
Individual rights are objective moral principles that are absolute. And they are violated by one means only: by the initiation of physical force. They are God-given and also validated by reality + reason, which means they were true when written, and they are still true.
“Our democracy’s ideals were false when they were written.”
I guess allegiance to the flag and “to the republic for which it stands” has died, or never existed, for many so-called Americans.
It is time to identify, list and disseminate the names, titles and employers of all such unAmerican actors.
The NYT has not abandoned liberalism - they have merely embraced the rapidly changing nature of a loose set of precepts identified with what is known as the current form of liberalism as it exists in the second decade of the 21st Century.
Nothing at all like the “liberal” policies held up by John F. Kennedy and George McGovern in the middle part of the 20th Century, yet the NYT behaves as if nothing has changed.
They want an end to free speech, free expression, free association, and the private ownership of firearms, and to create uniform laws in all the individual states among other goals. Just look around - they want to confiscate weapons, they label membership in some groups “terrorism” and common political ideology as “racism” they have “anti-free speech/safe zones” on college campuses. They even have re-instituted segregation along racial, sex, and sexual preference
They think one of the ways to achieve these goals is by convincing people that the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are founded on a big lie, ergo, they must be false.
I never see the words “All men are created equal” and think that it does not apply to Blacks or to women. I concede that perhaps some women and some African Americans may view it differently but that is the problem; not the phrase itself. It applies to everyone. The pursuit of happiness applies to everyone. The Bill of Rights applies to everyone. Whatever flaws our forebears possessed is irrelevant to the ideals as stated today. To teach otherwise is insidious and destructive but this is why they are all out pushing “racism” and “reparations” and “1619” - they are trying to rewrite and reframe history to suit their political agenda. To argue that a truth is a falsehood because the author of the truth was flawed in other ways is an ad hominem logical fallacy.

Not sure how old the author is, but he apparently is clueless about NYSlimes history...
I'm old enough to remember when the Slimes couldn't resist getting a woody over both Hitler and Stalin... For an organization driven by Marxism, the Slimes did not care which flavor of Marxism that Hitler & Stalin espoused...
The only possible change the Slimes can take at this present juncture is to foster a 2nd communist revolution here in the U.S... It now appears that "activism" is now a synonym for "revolution"...
While the first communist revolution may have been saved, when on it's deathbed after just a short existence, there is no Felix Dzerzhinsky here in the U.S. who could save it from 80-million fully armed Americans...
The 2nd Amendment, in some part, prevented the Japs from following up their victory at Pearl Harbor with the next logical move... The 2nd Amendment will defeat the coming bloody 2nd communist revolution when it occurs here in the U.S.
Tick...Tock...
They abandoned journalism long ago ...
