Georgia’s largest newspaper or the New York Times aren’t right leaning at all

In fucking fantasy-land maybe.

New York Times literally sat on a story about illegal wiretapping on US citizens by the NSA for over a year at the behest of the Bush administration.

I would think someone with the username NoSuchAgency might be familiar with that...

The main people who the NYT are aimed at are literally rich New Yorkers with an extra house in the Hamptons. You can look at their Leisure section and it becomes ridiculously clear they're catering to an elite set and not regular people.

Sorry, but the rich elite generally are way more conservative than your average person, even if they claim liberalism.

EDIT: Let's not forget how absolutely HYPED the NYT was for THE WAR ON TERROR.

is the new york times a liberal or conservative paper

The New York Times is often perceived as a liberal or progressive newspaper, but its political stance is more complex and nuanced. Here’s a breakdown:

Historical context: The Times was founded as a conservative newspaper in 1851, and it maintained a conservative editorial stance until the early 20th century. However, during the 1960s and 1970s, the paper began to shift towards a more liberal perspective, reflecting the changing values and attitudes of the time.
Editorial board: The New York Times’s editorial board has historically been liberal, but not uniformly so. While it has supported progressive causes, such as women’s suffrage, civil rights, and environmental protection, it has also endorsed conservative candidates and policies on occasion.
Columnists and opinion writers: The Times features a range of opinion writers and columnists, including liberal voices like Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, and Charles Blow, as well as conservative voices like Bret Stephens and David Brooks. This diversity of opinion reflects the paper’s commitment to presenting a range of perspectives.
Coverage and reporting: The Times is known for its in-depth reporting and investigative journalism, which often focuses on issues like government corruption, corporate malfeasance, and social justice. While this coverage can be seen as liberal-leaning, it is also driven by a commitment to fact-based reporting and a desire to hold those in power accountable.
Subscriber demographics: According to Vox, The New York Times’s subscribers skew “older, richer, whiter, and more liberal” than the general population of the United States. This may contribute to the perception that the paper is liberal, but it’s essential to note that the paper’s editorial stance is not solely determined by its subscriber demographics.

In conclusion, while The New York Times has a liberal bent, it is not a uniformly liberal or conservative paper. Its editorial stance is shaped by a complex interplay of historical context, editorial board perspectives, and the diverse range of voices and opinions presented in its pages. ----Brave Search

It's really sad how you're trusting an AI to get anything accurate after the fucking glue on pizza thing.

This is the NYT literally apologizing for their massive fuckups in the lead up to the War in Iraq where they basically just accepted the Party Line of what was going on. Democrats fell in line as to not be viewed as "soft on terror."

They took Republican administration officials at their word and didn't do anymore digging.

...but sure hyping up a war pushed by a Republican administration based on lies made up by that same administration is soooooooo liberal.
