The Implosion of the New York Times

I watched a doco, By Lous Theroux on African violence in a certain city. There preferred method of violence, and death, was smashing peoples heads with bricks. Seems you guys have not come a very long way. In slave blacks. But follow there traditions. Your dumber than i thought.
 
The only thing that makes you guys seem smarter than Africa, is your government spends 1000,000000 more on defence than those poor nations. Makes you feel stronger and smarter. Doesn't it. But your not. The jokes on you. The great USA

Let me correct one part of your statement. There was no failure to get Trump impeached. He IS impeached for life.

Time to correct the children's homework assignments.

August, 2019-Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, said recently that, after the Mueller report, the paper has to shift the focus of its coverage from the Trump-Russia affair to the president's alleged racism.


The impeachment of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, was initiated on December 18, 2019.

No gold sticker for either of you.

Somebody tried to sell me a gun in two totally different locations in America. They were 9000 klms away from one another. God help America. You guys are killing one another. I seen it on the news, I guy was shooting randomly. Then somebody decided the wanted his 2, 44 magnuns. So they snuck up, and took them off him with a brick to the head.Well done America. Actually, on my news broadcast i have seen a brick been used as a very useful weapon. Seen it in the LA riots. Must of been where you guys learnt the lethal effect of a brick to the head. Again. WELL, DONE.

Strange that he's still sitting in the Whitehouse at the moment.

I think my friend Inigo Montoya would like to have a small word with you.

NYT Is Returning to America's Roots. As in Salem
Andrew Sullivan, The Spectator

It’s never a good sign when you’re watching a scene of street terror in yet another gut-churning YouTube video and you find yourself thinking: ‘Hang on a minute, that’s around the corner from my apartment!’ But there’s a now infamous video from last week where a mob of enraged millennials with their fists pumped in the air surrounded a lone young woman sitting outside a Washington restaurant where I often eat. Like a scene from the Cultural Revolution, the crowd demanded she shout certain slogans and raise her clenched fist in solidarity — or be damned as a racist. Most of her fellow diners took the path of least resistance. She wouldn’t. The chants grew louder: ‘White silence is violence!’ They started screaming in her face. She wouldn’t cave. Wokeness, in case you hadn’t noticed, has entered a more intense phase. Not so long ago, you were canceled for something you did or said or wrote. Now you’re canceled just for saying absolutely nothing at all.

I had a much milder experience of this during the past week when the New York Times decided to run a profile of me. The hook was that I was forced to leave New York magazine last month because, according to the NYT, I had not publicly recanted editing an issue of the New Republic published…in 1994. The issue was a symposium on The Bell Curve, a book by Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein that explored the connection between IQ, class, social mobility and race. My crime was to arrange a symposium around an extract, with 13 often stinging critiques published alongside it. The fact I had not recanted that decision did not, mind you, prevent TIME, the Atlantic, Newsweek, the NYT and New York magazine from publishing me in the following years. But suddenly, a decision I made a quarter of a century ago required my being canceled. The NYT reporter generously gave me a chance to apologize and recant, and when I replied that I thought the role of genetics in intelligence among different human populations was still an open question, he had his headline: ‘I won’t stop reading Andrew Sullivan, but I can’t defend him.’ In other words, the media reporter in America’s paper of record said he could not defend a writer because I refused to say something I don’t believe. He said this while arguing that I was ‘one of the most influential journalists of the last three decades’. To be fair to him, he would have had no future at the NYT if he had not called me an indefensible racist. His silence on that would have been as unacceptable to his woke bosses as my refusal to recant. But this is where we now are. A reporter is in fear of being canceled if he doesn’t cancel someone else. This is America returning to its roots. As in Salem. . . .

The inmates run the asylum at the NYT. Its not a bad thing though. They are exposing who they are and making their prejudices easily identifiable. That is a good thing. I love when intolerant bigots are open and honest about who they are.

Do you understand that specific threads have specific topics to discuss?

And that the expectation, to enable discussion, is to discuss those specific topics in those specific threads?



This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

Yes but Lursa, doesn't a natural conversation between two human beings wane and ebb. It's just human curiosity.

It's not a natural conversation. It's a discussion thread on a discussion forum.

What 2 human beings? You were quoting yourself and only talking about you. :roll:

Where ? If everybody stuck on topic these would be very short threads. I am just saying, it's natural for a conversation to change direction.
 
Fledermaus, you guys go ape **** over politics. Trump will win in a land slide. Forget everything else. That other guy, Whats his name, baden beden biden. Who cares, he's a robot.

Self inflicted damage being dealt to themselves, by their own choice, which has been going on for a long time already.

I have no empathy for any of that, as you can never prevent someone or some group of people from damaging themselves, if they are determined in doing so, which it is pretty clear the New York Slimes are. :shrug:

Don't you mean your personal ideal of America dies a little? The more you fight it the more it will seem to be appropriate. We can't put this off forever.
 
"Impeached" means a partisan mob did their best and failed. Exonerated means a jury was unable to find evidence to support the partisanship. And there we are. At least the liberals got him in the history books.

Why does someone in a moderately strong right-lean publication writing that the NYT is "imploding" mean that the NYT is in fact "imploding"?

Has the entire board, the CEO and CFO, all resigned? The owners desperately trying to sell? No, it sounds like someone is butthurt because the NYT didn't like what he said previously and did not want to be associated with it anymore.

Employers, publishers, whatever have every right to decide not to associate with someone based on their past but unchanging stance on something. Post some racist crap on Facebook, and you can't complain if your employer finds out in 8 years then fires you for it.







What news? You apparently didn't even read the bit of the article he did quote. The NYT is not imploding. Someone butthurt about severed connections is.
