The diary title is not mine, it comes from this Raw Story link. But I agree that the NYT is a crappy news organization. From the Raw Story page… Mark Robinson is a "political firebrand" and a "fiery outsider eager to dive into the culture war,"...

Digby has up a fee link to a NYT story on the Ron DeSantis campaign for president, and it reads like an early political obituary. I’ve seen stories like this one before, and it is why I categorize it as the “media vulture watch.” It’s all over except...

In further demonstration of decay, NYT allows a weirdo journo to spin Senator Fetterman as a betrayer of the Left and no longer a progressive. It’s disgusting. Fetterman is ardently pro-Israel. Many of us are opposed to Israel’s disproportionate...
