“NYT is arguably the most out of touch institution in America.”

~ Ryan Grim quoted by Margaret Sullivan

Arrogance is the middle name of the New York Times. It prides itself on being out of touch, since being in touch would imply that it does not stand at the top of the hill of superior, objective discernment at which both sides can be declared equally flawed. This is the hallmark of insular, parochial arrogance.

It's great that the NYT is thriving. But I have a worry.

"According to a Zeteo analysis, the New York Times underrepresented Iranian victims in its early coverage of the US-Israeli war on Iran. The Times published over 100 articles on the Iran war in its Middle East section in the first four days. Only 18 of the 103 stories Zeteo analyzed mentioned Iranian victims, compared to 29 that mentioned casualties for the US, Israel, or Gulf countries."

"And most of the Times’s initial coverage also avoided noting that Trump’s war is illegal to begin with."
