NEW YORK TIMES
The New York Times (NYT) is an American daily newspaper based in New York City. The New York Times covers domestic, national, and international news, and publishes opinion pieces, investigative reports, and reviews. As one of the longest-running newspapers in the United States, the Times serves as one of the country's newspapers of record. As of 2023, The New York Times is the second-largest newspaper by print circulation in the United States, with 296,330 print subscribers. The Times has 8.83 million online subscribers, the most of any newspaper in the United States. The New York Times is published by The New York Times Company; since 1896, the company has been chaired by the Ochs-Sulzberger family, whose current chairman and the paper's publisher is A. G. Sulzberger. The Times is headquartered at The New York Times Building in Midtown Manhattan. The Times was founded as the conservative New-York Daily Times in 1851, and came to national recognition in the 1870s with its aggressive coverage of corrupt politician William M. Tweed. Following the Panic of 1893, Chattanooga Times publisher Adolph Ochs gained a controlling interest in the company. In 1935, Ochs was succeeded by his son-in-law, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who began a push into European news. Sulzberger's son-in-law Arthur Ochs became publisher in 1963, adapting to a changing newspaper industry and introducing radical changes.

Maggie Haberman Says Donald Trump Is Done With 1 Thing In His Second Term. And It Shows. The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman suggested President Donald Trump long ago “stopped caring about certain optics” and has made it clear that during his second term he is “going to do what he wants.” Haberman’s comments on CNN came amid backlash to Trump’s weekend golfing, his dismissive attitude amid recession fears sparked by his proposed global tariffs, and his skipping of a ceremony honoring the return of four American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. (HuffPost 4/7/25) READMORE>>>> Opinion: The New York Times makes an endorsement for president The New York Times’ editorial board made an endorsement for president on Monday. And they endorsed … not Donald Trump. Technically, they did endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, and they do tout the many reasons why Harris is their pick. But, mostly, they’re endorsing Harris because she happens to be the one running against Trump. The Times editorial board started right out of the gate by blasting the former president, writing, “It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.” (Poynter 10/1/24) READ MORE>>>>> |
September 30, 2024: New York Times Editorial Board: It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks. Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates. |
NY Times reports how Trump as President abused the justice system to target his enemies
Categorize this under Now you tell us? and Is anyone surprised? The NY Times had another set of revelations about what Donald Trump did as president. (GIFT LINK) Read it before it disappears from the news cycle.
As President, Trump Demanded Investigations of Foes. He Often Got Them. He has threatened to target his perceived enemies if elected again. A look at his time in the White House shows how readily he could do so.
The article begins with an episode in 2018, when Trump demanded that the Department of Justice go after Hillary Clinton and James B. Comey — and if Attorney General Jeff Sessions wouldn’t do it, he’d prosecute them himself.

‘Shockingly Dumb’: Aaron Sorkin Pens Wildly Idealistic Op-Ed Calling for Dems to Replace Biden With Mitt Romney — Promptly Gets Roasted Aaron Sorkin came up with some far-fetched, idealistic fantasies of how government should operate on The West Wing — the NBC drama he created back in the late 1990s. But the famed screenwriter just might have topped himself with a brand new whopper that’s utterly impossible to fathom. In a Sunday op-ed for The New York Times — which is almost hard to believe isn’t parody — Sorkin called for Democrats to replace President Joe Biden on the 2024 ballot with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT). Yes, Mitt Romney. Sorkin’s argument is based on electability — as well as the premise that Democrats basically need to show how serious they are about not wanting former President Donald Trump back in office.

=FROM THE RIGHT=Desperate lefties have meltdown over NYT calling on Biden to drop out — as campaign frantically hits back The Grey Lady has lefties seeing red. Liberal readers lost their minds after the New York Times editorial board called on President Biden to step out of the 2024 election following his abysmal debate Thursday night — as the commander-in-chief’s campaign desperately struggled to squash the mounting criticism. The New York Times came to its measured but damning conclusion on Friday — less than 24 hours after Biden, 81, stumbled and mumbled his way through the CNN debate against Donald Trump.

The New York Times wants Biden gone — but they seem OK with a convicted felon
A day after the first presidential debate, President Joe Biden energetically took the stage in Raleigh, N.C. to talk about his less-than-stellar performance in Atlanta on Thursday night. “I know I’m not a young man. I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t speak as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to. But . . .I know how to tell the truth,” he said. His upbeat energy was a direct contrast to his laconic actions in a debate against Donald Trump the previous night. Several Democrats and The New York Times called for Biden’s head. The editorial board at the Times penned an opinion piece with the headline, “To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race. (Salon 6/29/24) READ MORE>>>>>

Fired News Anchors Who Wouldn't Just Go Away
In an opinion piece for The Washington Post, editor Leonard Downie Jr. — who worked on The Post's history-making story about the Watergate cover-up — suggested that the way forward for the journalistic profession is to move beyond outdated ideas of "objectivity." Instead of seeing nonpartisanship as a virtue, Downie wrote, newsrooms should focus on building trust with readers. Joseph Kahn, executive editor of The New York Times, told Downie, "When the evidence is there, we should be clear and direct with our audience that we don't think there are multiple sides to this question, this is a falsehood. And the person repeating this falsehood over and over is guilty of lying." (The List 6/1/24)READ MORE>>>>>

Stefanik, Fox News anchor spar over New York Times report questioning her support of Trump
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) on Sunday pushed back against “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream for referencing a report that questioned her past support of former President Trump as her name continues to be floated as his potential vice-presidential pick. In a conversation Sunday about Trump’s shortlist for vice president, Bream referenced a New York Times report published in 2022 that included anecdotes about years-old comments Stefanik made criticizing the former president. “Shannon, it’s a disgrace that you would quote The New York Times,” Stefanik said before Bream interjected, “But they’re quoting you, Congresswoman.”

How Media Hunger for ‘Clicks’ Could Distort the 2024 Election
ANew York Times story last Friday was the latest in a long series of stories — in The Times and elsewhere — premised on “horse race” polling at the expense of what’s at stake in the 2024 election — namely, whether the freedoms that democracy has given us will survive Donald Trump’s promise, if elected, to act dictatorially on day one. The Times article was headlined, “Democrats in Key States Worry Biden Could Be a Drag on Their Races.” You had to read down 14 paragraphs to see any reference to the observation — from a Biden campaign official to be sure — that Trump’s strongman ideas are extreme, dangerous, and unpopular among most Americans.

Warped Front Pages
Seven years ago, in the wake of the 2016 presidential election, media analysts rushed to explain Donald Trump’s victory. Misinformation was to blame, the theory went, fueled by Russian agents and carried on social networks. But as researchers, we wondered if fascination and fear over “fake news” had led people to underestimate the influence of traditional journalism outlets. After all, mainstream news organizations remain an important part of the media ecosystem—they’re widely read and watched; they help set the agenda, including on social networks. We decided to look at what had been featured on the printed front page of the New York Times in the three months leading up to Election Day. Of a hundred and fifty articles that discussed the campaign, only a handful mentioned policy; the vast majority covered horse race politics or personal scandals. Most strikingly, the Times ran ten front-page stories about Hillary Clinton’s email server. “If voters had wanted to educate themselves on issues,” we concluded, “they would not have learned much from reading the Times.” We didn’t suggest that the election coverage in the Times was any worse than what appeared in other major outlets, “so much as it was typical of a broader failure of mainstream journalism.” But we did expect, or at least hope, that in the years that followed, the Times would conduct a critical review of its editorial policies. Was an overwhelming focus on the election as a sporting contest the best way to serve readers? Was obsessive attention to Clinton’s email server really justified in light of the innumerable personal, ethical, and ultimately criminal failings of Trump? It seemed that editors had a responsibility to rethink both the volume of attention paid to certain subjects as well as their framing.
