Bret Stephens has been pissing me off since he started writing opinion pieces for the New York Times. He’s one of those conservatives who works incredibly hard to try to sound ‘reasonable,’ but if you pay attention to his language, he’s still just a warmongering piece of shit who pretends Israel can do no wrong. He has always believed that Israel is never the aggressor, despite the tens of thousands of innocent people they have indiscriminately murdered.
He has been on the wrong side of history for sooo many different conflicts and political issues, not just regarding Israel.
Yeah, he’s a never-Trumper, but that doesn’t make him a good person.
You can reliably find him justifying immoral and hateful uses of violence and destructive neoconservative policies. So I guess he fits right in at the New York Times.

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.

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.
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
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.

Bret Stephens is a bedbug.

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.”

Oh a Jewish magazine which appears to have a strong focus on journalistic integrity, let’s have a look at their Gaza coverage… sigh I guess we can’t have everything.

Lemmygrad.ml are going to be so pissed that the capitalist pigs are copying their homework
queue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
I think it’s fair to say they both copy the homework of each other, as they’re all authoritarians who act like they’re for the benefit of the people, so long as you endlessly agree with what the government says is always true and just.

What?? Op-eds can be disagreeable??! This is incredibly irresponsible. What if I just believe every opinion I read? This is so ugly and awful. I can’t believe journalists would trust people to draw their own conclusions about a diverse spectrum of opinions!
Typical failing New York Times. So despicable and unethical.

Publishing extremist propaganda calling for war crimes in a newspaper can be waived away because it said (opinion)!
Bomb Syria even if it’s illegal (opinion!)
What’s next, verbatim Mein Kampf quotes being okay if the article says (opinion)?
WoahWoah@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes, frankly I don’t trust anyone to be able to think critically about what they read. I think we should outlaw disagreeable opinions. Let’s start with books! My library has a copy of mein kampf in fact. Let’s go burn it! That will take care of those damn nazis!

A New York Times reporter was responsible for the Iraq War by lying about weapons of mass destruction to sway congress. Jon Stewart interviewed the reporter and pretty much chewed the reporter out when trying to promote a book.

I see what the problem is.
Here, this should be more agreeable to you:
The New York Times is full of shit (Opinion)

Ohhhh riiight yeah, so it’s only their opinion articles the problem? That’s your idea? Here buddy, this will help things a little bit:

These comments are so mind numbing. Have you seriously been sleeping through decades of war mongering media? Is “manufacturing consent” alien to you?

Came to point out at least 3 of those are opinion pieces in the opinion column. I’d wager money the 4th is as well
