I have a hard time giving the nytimes any credence with their unqualified support of Israel, even in the final solution as they wanted to implement the last couple of years.

The support is so unconditional I am curious if the editors and owners are on the epstein tapes as well? I think someone said maybe on the editor actually.

Their reporting has become weak too, they used to have courage and fight, now they don't. Israel broke their brain somehow, they haven't even broken a single big scoop the first year of the most corrupt, openly so, administration in history.

If not epstein related, why would the times be so subservient when they had courage before? Rank fear? Idk, but we desperately need media that calls out the powerful, namely to not push for opposition to the republicans that cannot win, the most pernicious of the times' failures/betrayals. I blame them more than rw rags.

NYT is completely unreliable when reporting anything favoring the US government. Criticism of the US is pretty reliable from NYT. But usually the criticism comes 2 years after the fact.

They have only had courage when the owners allowed it.
