New York Times chairman pushes for constant negative coverage of Biden + his age because he never granted them an interview

I had to triple check that it was indeed the official site. Pathetic.
I wouldn't think that.
Look at the ego dripping from every word of that "statement."
Trump and Republicans could threaten the NYT and their journalists until the cows come home, and the NYT would still bias their coverage towards them for no other reason than Trump gives them all the obsessive attention they crave.
What a pathetic statement for one of the major news organizations on the planet
Seriously. It's insane someone thought this cleared the air. If anything it made it worse.
That response is just so funny. I don't understand how you can be so fucking stupid.
"I heard the Chairman murdered that guy for driving slowly in the left lane."
"Let's put an end to this. For anyone who understands the role that the left lane is supposed to play, it should be troubling to find someone driving slowly in it..."

Ever wonder why the world is so shitty? Because so many positions of power, both political and corporate, are populated by petty infantile pricks like this.
NYT is only good these days when they do their hyper in-depth analyses of certain events like the Beirut Explosion.
But their Op-Eds, domestic political coverage, and police coverage has really gone down the shitter. Before today I thought it was just due to capital interests, but now I know it's capital interests but also editorial ego so large that it has its own gravity to pull their heads up their own asses.

I found the Reddit AMA 2 of their reporters did a few months ago and their responses are wild.
I may have to actually go a bit harder on my earlier criticism, this shit is wild:
Jesus Christ. How can you take these people seriously with responses like these lol.
I find it funny how disaffected voters are meant to eat shit and vote for Biden to save democracy but the NYT gets a free pass to literally do their best to ensure he loses.
Your impression from this thread is people giving the NYT a free pass?
I haven't been subscribed to the NYT for almost 10 years what do you want me to do?
By this same token Biden isā¦also a popular figure inside his party. He's consistently held a higher percentage of his party's support than Trump has in the primaries held thus far.
Yeah but positive Biden reports don't bring the same number of clicks
I was just lamenting this yesterday regarding the campus protests, anyone looking for neutral reporting was looking at paywalls, anyone looking for comfirmation of what they already throught would have zero difficulty finding it.
I don't want to rob the NYT of its business model but I don't think you can go tut-tutting like they did in that statement today and not be more careful about when you paywall and when you don't.
Oh yeah, there's a big ego thing going on. "But we're the Times."
It's a shame. Their reporting on the arts and culture is great even when it's a bit out of touch - wonderful articles on theater, literature, romance, and so on. Some of their subsidiaries, like The Athletic, are also fantastic. But their domestic political coverage and op-eds have gone so far down the shitter since 2016 that their coverage has gone from something I check regularly to something I actively avoid.
Their whole angle is like a parody of being balanced and non-partisan, a bubble of out-of-touch coastal liberals bending over backwards to try to prove they're not coastal liberals. It truly defies satire sometimes.
I'm going to see if I can convince my family to cancel their subs and get their news from Reuters or AP instead.
I just think the paywalling of critical information is fundamentally wrong and no explanation for why they do it is justifiable. It's not my problem, but people being misinformed about every critical issue due to lack of access to good reporting is everyone's problem. I'm not going to propose a solution to this problem, because frankly, I'm not informed enough about the business to say what the solution is, but I think SOMETHING needs to change here. Make your money elsewhere, guys.
Well Iain Glen played Bruce Wayne in Titans. Funny seeing people insult the picture because a poster made an unexplained reference to Downton Abby.
I mean the problem is if you don't paywall you need to run ads, which everyone hates and lots of people block and need to be large and annoying to stand a chance of generating the returns advertisers are listening to or you need a bunch of rich patrons who will just fund media for ideological reasons, neither of which are options you want most news outlets going on. The reason all of the misinformation and low effort right wing garbage isn't behind a paywall is because it costs almost nothing to make compared to real reporting and a lot of times it has some right-winger who owns a multi billion dollar company making coffee cup holders for hunting rifles paying for it.
Its really hard to figure out how to fund news right now; there have been some really good cases made that the government should be operating some sort of fund that's carefully isolated from partisan influence to encourage a wider variety of news outlets, but that's not something individual papers can account for. The actual news, in the actual newspaper, used to always be behind a paywall: a physical subscription, or a purchase price at your local convenience store. And it always used to have tons of ads, papers were primarily funded by selling ad space. The issue isn't that news hasn't figured out how to be free, the issue is that its placed right next to and competing against garbage that isn't real news coverage.
You can carve out exceptions for really critically important stuff like COVID safety, and a lot of outlets did for at least a couple of years. I think there's an argument that political coverage should be the same, but since political coverage drives a lot of clicks you're also then cutting out a significant revenue stream that you almost certainly do actually need.

This is the kind of useless media fluff that undermines the only chance of not sliding into authoritarianism.
Media are 100% complicit.

Howard is a big supporter of Biden and very vocal of how dangerous Trunp and MAGA are. This is a big get. He's interviewed Hillary and Bernie in the past.
I truly hope this was done as a fuck you yo the NYT.

I pretty much think something like your last page is ultimately what could work.
Ultimately, my concern IS with critical information. Knowing about Kylie Jenner's latest fashion on the red carpet is NOT critical information. I understand operating as a business, but that doesn't come before the state of our institutions. Nothing is more important than the simple and easy dispersing of vetted information, nobody's business health should ever come before that.
