New York Times caught passing off GOP flack as average Black voter.
The New York Times published a story pushing the idea that support for President Donald Trump from a young Black man was organic, but the paper hid a key fact from its readers. On Thursday night, I read the story headlined “What 11 Black Voters Think...
Just a reminder that 404 media is owned and run by its own journalists.
I'm tired of news that's been filtered through a billionaire's best interests.
Propublica is an independent non profit. And they partner with other journalist non profits in a variety of states.
I highly regard their journalism as well.
NYT and Washington post are just garbage now. It’s sad.
I’m pretty sure they always have been. IIRC you’ll find op-Ed’s praising Hitler and Germany leading up to WW2.
They also deliberately slandered the guy that broke the (CIA admitting cocaine from Nicaragua into the US to fund right wing militias) story that often gets told as “the CIA introduced crack into black communities”. They effectively discredited the story, which turned out to be true.
The Behind the Bastards episode on it is p good
Always has been

Who remembers NYT sitting on the illegal NSA wiretapping story for the Bush admin for over a year?
It wasn't until more than a year later that the paper's executive editor, Bill Keller, rejecting a personal appeal and warning by President Bush, gave the story a green light. (Bush had warned "there'll be blood on your hands" if another attack were to occur.)
These stealth edits are unacceptable. They are tantamount to the NYTimes shouting about their cowardice from the rooftops. Do they really think people won’t notice? Clearly they underestimate how satisfying it is to catch them in a lie, which is ironic for a newspaper whose reputation has been bolstered by exposing (some) lies.
I thought correction notices were standard practice. It’s not like they can correct the hard copy, so fuck all their online readers I guess? Infuriating, but we shouldn’t expect anything better from them at this point in their downfall.
