Does anyone trust the right-wing New York Times anymore?

[Aviation Pro]

Motherfucker in his morning press gaggle touted the rag's recent polls showing him ahead of President Biden in several states. I no longer trust my former hometown paper since its conversion to being a megaphone for said motherfucker.

Just before court today, Donald Trump touted the latest New York Times-Siena polling showing him ahead of President Biden

[mercuryblues]

1. I haven't trusted them

Since they lied about ACORN and never printed a retraction.

[niyad]

2. I havenot trusted them since judith miller and the other liar (forgot

his name).

[Bettie]

3. Nope. Canceled my subscription

a while ago.

Though, I'm sure a particular someone will be along to scold about this post before long.

[Happy Hoosier]

4. Nope.

They believe they are entitled to a position of respect given the storied history of the paper. The plain truth is that they have embraced a "both sides" narrative and betrayed their mission.

[mountain grammy]

16. They do have a history..

The New York Times' first article about Hitler's rise is absolutely stunning

[Happy Hoosier]

19. Wow... so apologetics for fascism is a tradfition! NT

[mountain grammy]

22. Indeed, but there were a few who never gave the maniac an inch

Dorothy Thompson Expelled from Germany
August 26, 1934

https://newspapers.ushmm.org/events/dorothy-thompson-expelled-from-germany#:~:text=Dorothy%20Thompson%20was%20the%20first,met%20and%20interviewed%20Adolf%20Hitler.

Thompson worked for the New York Herald Tribune which no longer exists.
The New Yorker and Vanity Fair are two more publications who never published a "favorable" article about Hitler.

[Lemon Lyman]

34. Yup

That and they're pissed PJB won't give them sit-downs. Also, they miss the chaos and book deals and want their ratings azzhole back.

[Iggo]

5. What's that...like a newspaper or something?

I remember those from the twentieth century.

[brooklynite]

6. Well, considering the NY Times didn't DO a poll...

As much as you may not like the Times, they don't do polling, rigged or otherwise. They commission polling from a reputable institution (in this case Siena College), which isn't in the business of rigging polls to help Republicans.

nb: this poll was co-sponsored by the Philadelphia Inquirer. Another right wing rag?

[rso]

10. RSO

Except that polling in the last couple of years has consistently overestimated republicans and underestimated democrats, as demonstrated by special elections nationwide.

[Think. Again.]

17. Ha! did you see the Philadelphia Inquirers coverage...

...of the New Jersey trump rally?

[gab13by13]

7. Polls are used for propaganda

I can guarantee they need to keep the polls close so that TSF can claim the election was rigged.

[Silent3]

35. Who is "they"?

And "they" are fudging the numbers across multiple polling organizations, without any employees, or students in the case of college-sponsored polls, catching on and spilling the beans?

This is up there with the same kind of conspiratorial thinking Republicans use to claim "Trump won" in 2020 for the implausibility of pulling it off.

[Jacson6]

8. Shot the messenger? n/t

[Aviation Pro]

9. Not a messenger

A complicit participant.

[MOMFUDSKI]

11. No.

No.

[bluestarone]

12. Saw that this AM

They are so full of shit. 10 points i some states. Total fucking lies (my thinking)

[Jirel]

13. As much as any other non-infotainment news org.

I’m actually pretty tired of the “OMG, you can’t trust ______ any more” cries. We know what’s a tabloid infotainment/propaganda source (Faux, OAN, etc.) and what’s a news source that runs honestly. Newsflash: those respectable news sources are run by humans with different opinions, life experiences, and politics, and that is going to color choices in covering the news and what gets more attention. Big whoop. The answer is not to “trust” a specific source, but to sip from many. Some days a story on NYT will knock it out of the park. Sometimes BBC. Sometimes CNN. Sometimes Agence France. Sometimes Reuters. Some days they’ll all get it right, and others they’ll all get it wrong.

So what? We have never been able to “trust” a single news source in the entire history of humanity. So yes, I trust NYT as much as I trust any other often-reliable “real” news org, and I will be following up stories I see there with others from other decent sources. Somewhere in the mess the main thread of what happened comes into focus. That’s literally all you can expect.

[former9thward]

14. Now the NYT is right wing?

Before it was the WaPost is right wing. Is there any publication, anywhere, which is not "right wing"? Wow...

[Seeking Serenity]

23. Every publication is right wing

Whenever it publishes information or opinions I don't like.

Simple as.

[Think. Again.]

15. Nope.

[Golden Raisin]

18. Not since Judith Miller.

Still glance at the front page online as I'm a Manhattan resident and the Times is sort of my hometown paper.

[RAB910]

20. I haven't trusted the NY Times for decades

[Rebl2]

21. Nope

[ificandream]

24. The Times is not right-wing.

Look at their history. The Pentagon Papers, for one.

[Aviation Pro]

25. Past performance does not reflect present day

Nor future performance.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

30. And the KKK were Democrats in 1924 n/t

[Flatrat]

26. Trust but verify the Times

They still have good reporters.

Dont read the op eds, pure garbage/

Never trust the polls,especially this far out. They are nothing but headline fodder and clickbait

[bif]

27. It's still one of the best newspapers in the country

We get it every Sunday and have for years.

[Ocelot II]

28. I don't *trust* NYT any more than I trust any single news source.

It does have an infuriating tendency toward milquetoast bothsidering but I wouldn't call it right-wing. I would call it timid and often unwilling to stick its neck out. It does, however, have some excellent reporters and opinion writers, e.g., Jamelle Bouie, Michelle Goldberg, Paul Krugman and Charles Blow, plus a few that aren't so good, like Ross Douhat and the always-annoying Maureen Dowd. As with other media sources, I'll evaluate for myself which wing it is trying to fly with.

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. Their cooking section is good.

Plenty of good recipes.

That's all.

[czarjak]

31. I totally trust that they are fake news.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. The NYT is trying to get TFG re-elected

Today's polls released by the NYT are garbage
