A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Man, go fuck yourself, New York Times.

Adds "conservative" columnists, covers every detail of Biden's aged decrepitude in minute detail while ignoring Trump's mental deterioration, answers a Reddit AMA asking why all of that by saying basically that Trump is popular and Biden is unpopular and it's their obligation as a newspaper to reflect that reality in their coverage, then gets all surprised when Trump wins and it sucks.

I don't think NYT had anything to do with electing Trump, their cultural impact at this point is near 0 (along with the rest of the professional press which is its own sort of problem). But they don't get to whitewash their cheerleading now, by broadcasting one OTT headline and calling it good.
