The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].
The pro-slavery New York Times?
Because the arts and literary sections and the magazine were actually quite decent so it gave that impression.
Noam Chomsky talked about how self-serving it is to the powerful to portray the mainstream media as left-leaning. If people think that the NYT is pushing left, then anything further left of that is seen as being so far off that it must be uttered by loony radicals who spend 17 hrs a day buried in leftist theory.
Pro-war on all the wrong sides (Germany in WWII, US in Iraq, Israel at any time), Jewish owned but somehow simultaneously against Jews, especially if poor and foreign.
Their Berlin correspondent wrote about how Hitler was no danger to German Jewry while it was already well documented how terrible they were being treated in 1939.
Absolutely fucking monstrous rag.
Ironically, the GOP has bought it now that they coronated Trump?
It’s a bit amusing that all the white and not so white lies are now actual belief amongst the leadership. Maybe they’ll end up deconstructing them…
