Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There are a lot of good rank and file journalists at NYT, and they have resisted attempts by the higher-ups to censor them. So there has been both bad and good coverage on this topic as a result.
The NYT has issues going back 7 generations, it’s not like it started to go downhill recently
Every organization has issues. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been good journalism done under its banner.
Plenty of good journalists have worked there, often with high ideals. But that is not the whole picture. The NYT is soaked with blood and poverty for all the other things it has done. Almost everything we read as bad in history has had its proponents or motivators or mitigators working in the same hallways
The NYT isn't an ethical organization anymore
This article helps the rich by making Neoliberal genociders and leftists fight.
How so?
Because it's owned by a billionaire who tells them what to write?
The owners don’t control every decision made by every writer or editor, but it’s true that they do have excessive influence and power to kill some stories or promote others.
But I meant how does this article in particular make liberals and leftists fight?
I see this article as a growing shift in tone from liberals towards a greater skepticism and criticism of Israeli actions. This would mean they’d align better with leftists, not worse.
There are articles that effect their narratives, they have agreements with the managers that they publish things that forward those narratives.
