Perhaps it would be best for everyone if these “journalists” decided to stage a permanent walkout.
Imagine that – a strike from these loons that never ended.
Can’t blame a guy for dreaming…

The NYT has become an activist organization disguised as a once-prominent newspaper. Like the Ivy Leagues, it relies on a status that no longer exists.
Since the Trump era, journalistic activism at the paper has become at least as important a priority for many staffers as producing news. —> Which is irony on steroids considering that Trump’s business base of operations has always been…….New York. It’s not like the Times never interviewed him before he ran for office.

It’ll take a long time for people to realise that the Emperor has no clothes. Worse than the Ivy Leagues and the NYT, is the United Kingdom, as a country – a complete shell of it’s former self living on it’s former prestige.

And they wonder why trust in media is almost non existent. Just another nail in the coffin of the regime media.

The irony is that The New York Times has had a long history of Jewish ownership, starting with the purchase of the newspaper in 1896 by German-Jewish immigrant Adolph Ochs. Mr. Ochs was not an observant Jew, and the religion never permeated the news coverage or editorials offer up by the paper when he was at its helm.
Ochs left controlling interest of The NYT to his son-in-law, Arthur Hays Sulzberger, in 1935. Sulzberger was a proud Jew, but he was adamant that paper didn’t appear “Jewish” to its growing, diversified readership. He went so far as to take anti-Zionist editorial positions during his tenure “and insisted that the New York Times not criticize Nazi atrocities against Jews too much in the 1930s and during the Holocaust “.
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger took over as publisher of The New York Times in 1963, another Jew at its helm. His son, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., the current publisher, who practices the Christian religion of his mother, is openly anti-Israel, and some would say antisemitic, despite his historical family connection to Judaism.
Personally, as an American-Jew who grew up reading The New York Times, I can no longer stomach its quasi-journalism, especially with regard to its prevailing anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Zionist, antisemitic stances. The 21st Century version of The New York Times sickens me.

This article is just a rant.

As for evidence of Israel starving Palestinians to death: where has the author been? Under a rock, hissing presumably. Never mind the press reports, just go on social media – plenty of photos of starved Palestinians there for her to enjoy.

Since you’re obviously from the “show us the rapes” side of the aisle, skeptical of Jewish claims, how do you know the “starved Palestinians” you see on your Hamas fever swamp social media channels weren’t purposefully starved in Hamas tunnels for precisely the Pallywood production that you’re consuming on your social media right now? Or do you subscribe to the “evil oppressors vs saintly oppressed” children’s view of the world, so you know that’s not possible?

Their big problem is that non-Jewish Woke staffers are demanding that Israel be subjected to genocide with the call “From the river to the sea.” In New York many of the Times staff, however, are Jewish and see this as antisemitism. The Woke Jews marched with people who now cry for their genocide. Jews who got out of bed Woke Democrats are now going to bed Republicans as they find themselves hated by their former friends.

I was wondering about that . There must be loads of Jews who work for the New York Times .Mainly woke Democrats , but what percentage are Hamas fans ?

The young staffers are demanding that the Times lie about issues and feed the readers propaganda. They demand that false facts be presented as truth. They deny the facts about Hunter’s laptop and say evil about the Jews. Isaiah 5:20 KJ21 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that count darkness as light, and light as darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Activist journalists? The adage “garbage in, garbage out” comes to mind.
Might I suggest that the New York Times add a tobacco-like warning to their masthead:
THIS PUBLICATION IS KNOWN TO CONTAIN FANTASIES WRITTEN BY JUST-OUT-OF-COLLEGE SELF-STYLED ‘ACTIVIST’ CHILDREN WHO HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME AGE AS YOUR KNOW-IT-ALL KID AND WHO THINK THEY ARE MORALLY OBLIGATED TO CREATE SUCH FAKE NARRATIVES TO PROGRAM YOU HOW TO RIGHT-THINK. AS SUCH, THIS PUBLICATION IS KNOWN TO BE VERY DANGEROUS TO YOUR INTELLECTUAL HEALTH AND WILL LIKELY CAUSE YOUR NEURONS TO SPONTANEOUSLY IMPLODE. CONSUME IN MODERATION.

The New York Times is tearing the New York Times apart. If a reader needs to be an expert on the subject of an article to determine whether it presents a manipulative pack of lies it’s definitely time to seek other sources.

The New York Times (i.e. the New York Slimes) is yesterday’s news and yesterday’s newspaper. The Gray Lady ain’t what she used to be, many long years ago, and I ain’t gonna weep when she goes away into that good night.

“journalistic activism at the paper has become at least as important a priority for many staffers as producing news.” They’re not supposed to produce the news – they’re supposed to report it.

So they abandoned objectivity — i.e. search for truth, facts — in favour of “moral clarity.” Defined by whom? It may be called advocacy, but it’s no longer journalism, at least not in the sense of reaching the largest number of people, which is why journalism in general — though, somehow, not the NYT — is losing readers by the millions. People want to know what’s happening, not what someone else thinks should be happening.

The New York Slimes is yesterday’s news. Sewer trash. Out of date. Stodgy, forgettable, forgotten. Why are we even talking about it?
