    There are a lot of good rank and file journalists at NYT, and they have resisted attempts by the higher-ups to censor them. So there has been both bad and good coverage on this topic as a result.

      The NYT has issues going back 7 generations, it’s not like it started to go downhill recently

        Every organization has issues. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been good journalism done under its banner.

          Plenty of good journalists have worked there, often with high ideals. But that is not the whole picture. The NYT is soaked with blood and poverty for all the other things it has done. Almost everything we read as bad in history has had its proponents or motivators or mitigators working in the same hallways

      The NYT isn’t an ethical organization anymore

      This article helps the rich by making Neoliberal genociders and leftists fight.

            The owners don’t control every decision made by every writer or editor, but it’s true that they do have excessive influence and power to kill some stories or promote others.

            But I meant how does this article in particular make liberals and leftists fight?

            I see this article as a growing shift in tone from liberals towards a greater skepticism and criticism of Israeli actions. This would mean they’d align better with leftists, not worse.

              There are articles that effect their narratives, they have agreements with the managers that they publish things that forward those narratives.
