is dumb. It’s that they are so consumed by Trump hatred that they act stupidly! It is the lens through which they look at the world. And they are no more aware of their Lefty biases than a fish is aware of the water it swims in.
Plus, they simply have no loyalty to truth. In fact, if their employees are good Post-Modernists, they don’t even believe that Truth even exists! So there is nothing else to guide them but their hopes, dreams, and fantasies.
In other words, they are NOT a “news” source. They are simply a cultural mouthpiece for the Left, but they certainly are not beholden to reporting the “objective truth.” They don’t even believe that exists! There is only a Nietzschean will-to-power imposition of viewpoint.
Take Trump, for example. They say that there is a “mountain of evidence” against him, but that is mere wish-fulfillment on its part (and on the part of gullible NYT readers). They are not saying what is true, they are saying what they automatically and uncritically assume, and is be able to be forced on others, of course. It is their cultural truth, but it is absolutely not the truth.
As for the “mountain of evidence,” what does it show? That Trump’s company falsely characterized payments to Cohen’s law firm as legal expenses, when in fact Cohen was being reimbursed for making entirely legal payments to Stormy Daniels. That is a misdemeanor on which the statute of limitations has run.
THAT means that the NYT is fundamentally unreliable. Oh, they might accidentally tell the truth at times, but one is left with the uncomfortable understanding that they may be telling the truth–or they may be just unreflectively be representing their worldview–and neither of you would know it!
