What matters most aren't the political leanings of reporters, but the leanings of their editors.

but the 1930s particularly are germane because of how they covered the Nazis/Hitler and what they then said about their editorial choices/motives at the time. Same shit, different century.

That should be their headline. Trump has age related mental decline. His obesity doesn’t help matters.

I guess they now interpret the motto as Our Publisher and Editors will ProtectYou From the Truth as we Protect Fascist Would - be Dictators

Like Trump and MAGAs and some Supreme Court justices who want to take us back the NY Times has not been able to keep up with the times as the times have been a’changing.

The soul of Irony is a newspaper whose very motto reeks of censorship
