The New York Times’ ‘Nazi Correspondent’ - Tablet Magazine
As Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany and then embarked on his program of world conquest and mass extermination, The New York Times’ Berlin bureau chief was busy slanting the news in his favor
Rather than figuring out how best to cover these momentous events, Enderis began plotting how best to get in good with the new regime. The Times’ World Wide Photo subsidiary, a photo distribution service incorporated in Germany, provided an opportunity. In July 1933, Enderis phoned Birchall to suggest ways “to accord with the general tendency” of the Nazi government. Enderis advised changing the service’s name “to some nice Germanic form,” and firing its manager, Julius Bolgar, who “is of Jewish origin and, moreover, has borne himself in dealing with Nazi protests in a highly independent spirit.”

NYT editorials have leaned far right for a long while now. They’re FOX News with a longer, more bluechip reputation.
Do not use NYT as a reliable source. Do not trust NYT readers who do.

Bret Stephens is a bedbug.

Bruh don’t cite any opinion/op-ed as a source of fact. It’s like right there at the fucking top that these ‘articles’ are someone’s opinion.

Well, yeah, but I wouldn’t trust NYT news as trustworty without confirmation from other sources. I’d say the integrity of the rag has been compromised, but I don’t actually know if it ever was integral even in the Raymond and Jones days.
