When there was positive economic data under Biden, the New York Times told us to worry, with headlines like: “Why a Strong U.S. Economy Is Making Stock Investors Jittery” and “Inflation Has Been Easing Fast, but Wild Cards Lie Ahead” But when there is worrisome data under Trump, NYT reassures us:
Meet the Third Reich loanword of the year: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichs...
It’s almost like (most of) the billionaires want fascism
They know what side their bread is buttered on.
📌
Fuck the New York times!
Weird, David Brooks was just complaining about how isolated he feels as a "conservative" there...
I usually agree with you. Not this time.
People can stop reading articles from sources that they feel is unbalanced.
Maddening.
I basically think nobody knows what the fuck will happen with the economy or the stock market and the New York Times just writes clickbait headlines because they need to eat too
It's so undeniably fucked up
They suck. I don’t read it.
Black is White. Up is Down.
Eerily obvious bias
STOP READING THE NEW YORK TIMES. JFC. Let it die already.
NYT is GARBAGE
They have totally thrown away any reputation they ever had. I haven’t seen the word “recession” one single time since Trump took over. With Biden it was at least 3 headlines a week. If job numbers came in 10 people short it was “fears of a recession” for weeks.
This is why no one mentions the times to me anymore. It's hopelessly lost its way. It's become irrelevant.
Another story from New Puke Times Tuesday told us that the stock market could come crashing down any second. Hello, anyone at the Times reading the Times?
#NYTisTrash
The first thing a fascist regime does is take over the 4th estate.
Strange bedfellows; Trump and the old grey lady 🧐
I don't think NYT is biased toward Trump. In fact, they're scandalously neutral on the question of whether our democracy survives. I think NYT spins stories in a counterintuitive manner ("Bad data is good news!") because they think it makes them look savvy and sophisticated.
Oh I think leadership of the Times is absolutely sympathetic to Trump
Hard to say. Their pro-big-business spin sometimes manifests itself as pro-Trump. But I think they'd like Trump to be pro-business without being so much like Mussolini.
I can’t think of a single Trump headline that was uncharitable to Trump. 99% soften his atrocities or parrot his framing.
💯 The times and all other msm nk press Trump
Let's get up to a 10,000 ft view. I think that the NYT will write whatever headline they think will benefit the investor class. Economy is doing well? Throw some chum in the water to make the non-institutional players jittery. Crappy market? Keep everyone calm so they take the hit when it drops.
Counterpoint: they seem politically motivated to spin news differently depending on who's in the White House. bsky.app/profile/jmgr...
No argument, but I still believe that part of it that they are trying to game the market. The institutional investors are always working some derivative, short-sell or other financial vehicle to make that incremental gain.
And yet these counterpoints always seem to favor Trump or whitewash the news at a minimum.
It's because the investor class, like most republican functionaries, are all about greed and power. And the news media (at least for the last 40 years) has been all about access to those with wealth and power.
Well put. These inaccurate narratives still have most Americans believing republicans are better for the economy, when empirically they are not.
maybe bc 99% of all data has been bad under trump, and they want to appear sophisticated and contrarian, as suggested above
They don't deserve your kind benefit of the doubt. They love the guy. He's gold-dust to them.
NY Times has always been Fascist-friendly, going back to the 1930s.
How on earth is it hard to say
I don't see any evidence that proves this.
But aren’t we way beyond “hoping” that he will be something he has repeatedly demonstrated he absolutely is not? Isn’t it the journalist’s responsibility to distill actual reality, not to create an alternate one?
they love that. look at what they do, that's all you can go off.
You know, at this point it's not that hard to say. :/
Yeah the not-so-thin line between healthy skepticism and wanton ignorance was crossed back in the first term.
Isn't that basically the same thing the Italian press wanted Mussolini?
If you can't see that the nyt is hard in the bag for trump you are a drooling moron.
"hard to say" lmfao
They like the cultural stuff too, as evidenced by their editorial staff.
nah even aside from there being accounts of how AG sulzberger personally gave the order to shiv biden and then harris while boosting trump, the rich middle-aged upper east siders who dominate the NYT have absolutely talked themselves into trump-curious reactionary centrism
And for some reason that center keeps shifting right...
Hard to say? Budddyyyyyyy to do anything other than decry Trump as a fascist is to be pro-Trump. Just think how you’d feel if you replaced Trump w/ “Hitler” “Mussolini” or “Pol Pot” and that’s the right analogue.
I mean in the final accounting Trump will have killed at least an order of magnitude more people than Pot
The NYT is doing the opposite of damning with faint praise for Trump, I think they're in his corner
NYT is a useful tool purchased to legitimize and normalize the takeover. At this point, there is no return to public trust for them.
I think they're sympathetic to the idea that rule by Democrats is likely illegitimate.
It's mostly just classic bothsidism.
If also keeps them further from the center of trumps radar. They are spineless.
Disagree. I absolutely believe they are biased toward him because it serves them. If they were hard hitting journalists they’d not be here and wouldn’t have brought millions w them.
I agree, and I also believe the Times is only biased toward norms and the status quo. They do pick at Trump for his authoritarian actions, but the overall thesis of their newspaper is, “our crystal ball says we’ll all be fine as long as we don’t react too strongly to literally anything.”
The word you are hunting for is conservative. With a test the Jo Biden is too radical. Small c conservatives as you describe tend to support movements to their right rather then any equitable social change. See the fall of the Roman Republic or the end of the revolutions of 1847.
No , The NY Times is biased in it’s leaning over backwards for conservatives. Always has been. Just the opposite for progressives. Always has been.
This is correct. Reality has the bias towards progressives, but the NYT hates that reality and will always struggle against it with both sides and variations of hemming and hawing.
I don't agree, Mark. Both @nytimes.com & @washingtonpost.com decided to abdicate in advance with 34-felon. Just note the non-coverage of anything (*anything*) related to his health, obvious cognitive issues and worship of Putin. If we don't recognize propaganda when we see it, we're done.
Another example; bsky.app/profile/casm...
They do seem to think of themselves as the elitest of the elites at the NYT.
Whatever they think it makes them look like, to most of us, it looks like they are carrying water for fascism. Most of us look at The NY Times as patient zero for normalizing Trump 10 years ago that ultimately created this unstoppable monster.
But the savvy and sophisticated always always works to the benefit of Republicans and Trump. We had four years when the macro economic data was excellent and the news was always bad. That's not savvy, that's intentional lying.
Entertainment news. They went for the quick cash grab instead of protecting their integrity.
When did they ever put a silver lining in bad data for Biden
They spin stories to be purposely controversial thereby getting lots of eyeballs on and lots of online comments about their ridiculous reporting. Controversy = $$$$$ in the media biz.
I think they like Trump and want him to rule us like a king, and their reporting makes a lot more sense under that assumption.
You're delusional.
It's counterintuitive to be biased towards trump, so i think you are right in your reasoning but wrong with your assessment.
Sure, it's not their fault that the economic data are always bad when Republicans are in charge, and generally good when Democrats are in charge. Yes, that makes them look biased, but it's just a coincidence; they're just being contrarian. That's why they keep hiring all those conservative writers.
The NY Times has proven, at least since 2015, that they are VERY pro-Trump. Remember in 2016 how their blaring headlines, day after day, were about "HER EMAILS?" Then in 2024 they relentlessly sanewashed, whitewashed, normalized, etc. Trump. What else would you call that but "biased toward Trump?"
I think they have long considered Republicans the rightful owners of the country and since they don't believe in democracy neither does NYT.
I absolutely think they are biased towards Trump and GOP. Stories are centered around GOP voices (I have yet to see one with Biden voter supporting Biden etc) Trump headlines use euphemisms for corruption and lies and rarely are actions identified as being illegal #brokentimes
"Stories are centered around GOP voices (I have yet to see one with Biden voter supporting Biden etc" Yeah, I've definitely noticed how stories about opinions from independents and Trump voters feel common, but stories about opinions from Democratic voters feel rare.
Exhibit 658. When you imagine how this would be covered under the Biden administration, the bias is exposed bsky.app/profile/larr...
Lastly, NYT barely mentions Trump and his administration’s bad polling numbers whereas under Biden, it was on a weekly rotation and reposted by giddy reporters
One might argue that being scandalously neutral on the survival of US democracy is essentially a pro-Trump/MAGA stance.
These (often Ivy League educated) editors, publishers and journalists are fully aware of the damage they are causing with their pro-Trump coverage. The deluded MAGA poor don’t get this many built-in excuses for their pro-Trump stances. Why let NYT off the hook?
All these headlines were by design to send a message against Biden and to show Trump they won’t criticize him. They are cowards!
They 100% are. They are traitor vermin.
It would be easier to agree if they didn't do the opposite under Biden. Good data is bad news, good legislation is bad news, and with Trump they sanewash EVERYTHING. It's blindingly obvious and it's terrible for democracy.
It seems like they are twisting themselves into Gordian knots in order to prove that they aren’t part of the “liberal media, but the rest of the paper signals they are. They’re like are a two-headed hydra that wants to be seen as neutral but is liberal at heart. But it’s damaged their reputation.
To make matters worse, the NYT has been sane-washing Trump since his campaign started last year. And while they somewhat course corrected after he was elected, they’re treating him with kid gloves again, possibly due to a realistic fear that he will come after them, if they don’t.
But in reality it makes them look incredibly stupid and unable to understand simple facts and draw credible conclusions.
So true. The NYT has employed many young journalists from elite schools who have been assured of their brilliance. And the other sad fact is that these "reversal" stories are just a milder form of clickbait. "Trump says he wants to destroy democracy. That may not be the problem it appears to be."
Came to the same conclusion a while ago. I call it cargo cult journalism. They take a "counterintuitive" position to make it sound as if they have deeper insight. But in reality they just call black white and hope people fall for it.
They're biased toward Trump. Like so much MSM today, they are run by billionaires who don't give a damn about anything but their access and money.
Until he shuts them down
More like stupid, disingenuous and unconvincing. Us boots on the ground know something is very wrong and we're paying more for it.
All signs indicate a bleak economic outlook for the United States, but researchers point out the hidden gem in Trump’s savvy plan to destroy the economy.
That being the increasing accumulation of wealth by the Trump Crime Family.
NYT contrarian snob attitude
The Times is made up of a lot of different people, many of whom seem to have the pro-democracy priorities one associate with the NYT, but there are also voices with priorities in a different order.
This is speculation, but I imagine the protection and increase of inherited wealth matters more to A. G. Sulzberger than it does to the average Times reader. I think there are some editors and writers that are there to serve the publisher's particular interests.
I think that they had a bias not for Trump, but against President Biden. He couldn’t win with them, and if it’s true that they slanted their coverage because he refused to do a sit-down interview, that’s absolutely shameful.
When Trump had good number they didn’t do that though.
And Hillary before that. Dem leaders do substantive things while NYTers can basically bs their way through their jobs, which is how Republicans operate so they like them better. Mommy making them do homework vs Daddy letting them play video games.
They're absolutely and extremely biased toward Trump. They have been normalizing his treason, crimes, bigotry, vileness, stupidity, incompetence, and lies for years, it doesn't get more bias toward him than that.
They’re sole reason to exist the last 20 years has been to normalize fascism. Full stop. They’re fully capable of generating scandal and burying facts. See: Biden enacting the Trump pull out plan in Afghanistan.
*their
The legacy media is complicit. Eat a billionaire. And while I'm here....
Future NYT headline.
The New York Times does fascism fluffing, not journalism.
It puts the lotion on its skin. Anything to stay in the middle fringe and not make the crazy people yell at them.
When weasel-wording, even in headlines, displays a clear pattern and agenda over decades, it's bias, not some puffed-up attempt at being "savvy."
Times are changing - the trumpedo administration will do anything to control the narrative - do not trust corporate media.
DonConomics
Again observe the hypocrisy of the extremely wealthy, in this case the news moguls who use their platforms to manipulate us when facts, known as truth & ethical journalism, would best serve our society. It's nothing new, there have always been the me, my, mine pronoun preferences of the privileged.
That’s their marching orders from trump
I ditched NYT a long time ago. It's a worthless rag.
The NYT doesn’t want the economy to crash. They DO want people to be perpetually anxious that it will crash. The economy was safe under Biden, so their headlines wouldn’t push the economy over the edge. The economy is NOT safe under Tr*mp, so headlines could push it over the edge.
@mtsw.bsky.social they like trump and want him to win
Turns out Biden wasn't threatening or suing media enough to get the coverage he wanted.
"New BLS report: Up Now Down"
"If it bleeds, it leads."
I hate the @nyt
The media under DEMs adm. jeopardized coverage on the achievement of policies objectively ie, to raise public consciousness.It failed to fact-checking timely.The media was obsessed with the daily agenda of DT. Now it seems it is operating BS all under fear?
Infuriating! The one I cannot let go of was along the lines of "Bad news for Biden recession now 100% likely in next 12 months". They were extremely wrong then and proven wrong now! The lack of accountability is evidence of how much of a choice this all is.
What is the true motivation for the media’s treasonous behavior? Also, even I know we are near a crash.
NYT exists to throttle the masses.
That's what all the writers learned at their prestigious prep schools & ivy league universities: fellate the Führer. 🤦
Also, is “crash” really the baseline here?
The @nytimes.com when Trump is president.
It’s exactly like the WSJ did during the Obama era.
This is why I hate it when people link to the NYT on this site. Why give them the clicks? They are farming anger engagement with their crap headlines and evident biases. I make it a point to never click on any link that will take me to a WaPo or NYT piece. No gift links. Screenshots? Fine.
Hey @nytimes.com just throw in the towel and focus on the games app. Your Wordle bot sucks.
Look at the other stuff on the page “The markets are jittery why this jobs report may not help” “Troubling news” “Faces challenges ahead”
That's what I saw. I despise them. Won't even open an article on their page. They aren't getting one God damned click from me. Fuck them!
The old “it’s different this time” defense at play
at one point the NYT under biden ran with a headline about there being a 100% chance of recession...
NYT has fallen so far the National Enquirer has more reliable reporting.
I thought it was @nytpitchbot.bsky.social for a second.
That's @mtsw.bsky.social's music!
The word “could” doing a lot of heavy lifting…
Don't forget such faves as "These Doctors Will Quit if Obamacare Passes", where four of the five doctors profiled were actually just tired of practicing medicine. That was CNN, though, but same BS.
Corrupt.
#brokentimes
Oh, they're totally in the oligarch camp. It appalls me that I ever considered them reliable.
Might be more due to the phenomenon where people are more likely to click on something counterintuitive. "Economy Bad. Crash Imminent" is a very straightforward message, so no need to click.
It’s going to get ugly. We are looking at a tech bubble similar to 1999. Real estate is also struggling. The media will make excuses.
In his 1st term it took a disease to destroy the economy, this time around — he is the disease.
This isn't journalism, it's political activism.
I feel so confident!
Occam’s razor says they like Trump and fascism
Every employee at this treasonous shithole deserves a windowless 6’x9’ cell until they finally do us a favor a fucking die.
They just seen to be anti-left to me more than anything else. They also can't just call a spade a fucking spade to save their life
That’s a really GREAT observation. Very true.
WTF!
I’m sure Maggie Haberman will tell us all why ..
The situation seems different but the problem is the same: how does "instant news" cover slow-motion economic developments? With Biden, I kept saying "a soft landing (which we ultimately got) takes time." Same here: cracks in a once healthy economy (which we no longer have) won't sink it overnight.
Does the dog wag the tail, or does the tale wag the dog?
NY Times-I subscribe and I’m sick of your subtle editorializing favoring the right radicals. Get straight.
“ …& how this is bad for Biden”…Jake tapper & Trump’s team at CNN
So glad I got rid of mu subscription. This organization is complicit with the Nazis.
Hopefully good leadership isn't required.
NYT is NAZI owned, what do you expect?
Welcome to the Brave New World.
A few weeks before the 1987 crash, I read a story in the WSJ quoting a broker saying that "this bull market will never end". The next day I moved my 401k out of equities.
NYT is a rag
Evil fucks. Legacy media has screwed America & Democracy.
They spent 4 years STRAIGHT talking about how much we still didn't achieve the "soft landing"
Legacy media is influenced by the ever growing dishonest right-wing media empire. They allow the right’s framing to seep into their coverage. They’re afraid of criticism from the right so they both-sides everything rather than just being accurate. And, shareholder return > the greater public good.
The Times is in the bag for Trump and Republicans
NYT is a shell for Trump an the republican party, I don't know why any clear thinking person would subscribe to it.
Owned by right-wing magats. What did you expect?
The Biden Economy - not reported by the NY Times www.economist.com/special-repo...
The NYT has long ago stopped being a trustworthy news source, as far as I'm concerned
Basically, for any piece of good news under the Biden admin, MSM tagged onto the headline: "...why this is bad news for Biden, Harris, HRC, Obama, Bill Clinton and the Democrats." E.G. : "The post-Covid economic recovery under Biden is stronger than expected. Why this is bad news for..."
They’ve been in the far right camp for a while. Shameless. @agsulzberger.bsky.social @nytimes.com
A decade parroting Trump's "Greatest economy ever!" schtick without any sort of fact checking, while criticizing Biden's truly stellar economy and ignoring the massive role COVID played in high inflation... Inflation, btw, which had been steadily decreasing for 2.5 years prior to the election.
Sounds like what was said at the start of COVID.
Economic data be like
Say the line @mtsw.bsky.social
They normalized Trump 24/7 during the campaign. Now, @nytimes.com reassures us that Trump's insane tariffs, inflation, and increasing unemployment is . . . no problemo!! If they spent as much time exploring his derangement as they spend as abject apologists, we'd be far better off. #BrokenTimes
Never forget, though, that the fascist antennae at the Times have been broken for over 80 years, such as when they ran this puff piece on Hitler's mountain retreat literally TWO WEEKS before the nice man started a war that killed 60 million. www.nytimes.com/1939/08/20/a...
bsky.app/profile/kdac...
They also helped deny the Holomodor. Mr. Jones (2019) - IMDb share.google/dUcNVSOvmdsa...
There's an entire lengthy wikipedia page dedicated to all the lies the NYT has spewed over the years:
They also tried to dismiss that the business plot was real (currently citations 5 and 47) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...
Don’t worry the fascist being put in charge of BLS will ensure all numbers are great. Or there wont be any numbers.
This will age as well is this, Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia www.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/u...
There part of the Vichy government
Martha Radditz specialized in this in denigrating Biden at every turn.
NYT was not fearful of Biden. They are scared to death of trump.
Will be interesting to see their FINAL headlines: "We THINK America just put us out of business, this seems to be our final publication" Bootlickers not protecting the TRUTH.
Since I started following the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social, it's given me a new appreciation for these headlines. Much like The Onion, I enjoy seeing if the satire can stay ahead of the reality.
In other words, how can we tell if it is CORPORATE media?
Exactly why I canceled my NYT subscription.
Reminds me of all those "Republicans just stuck their dicks in an electrical outlet, here's how that's bad for Democrats!" headlines.
The NYT is a garbage right-wing tabloid slop entity, not a newspaper.
The market has been skewed by right wing politics for decades. Gotta have those tax cuts & deregulation. But the crash will still crash and no one in the market will blink or own their part of it. Just like last time, or the time before that.
📌
It’s the data that’s taken a turn. The moron putting tariffs on everything has no responsibility.
Such a sad example of the complete capitulation of @nytimes.com. This is what happens when billionaires own and control our sources of news and information and are only concerned with their own self interest.
Wouldn’t want those damn liberals to get any good press…maybe offer some gold bars in trade for positive press coverage?
It’s 2008 again.
The New York Times is the vanguard for fascism and the Republican Party culture war
The NYT is not a reliable or serious news source. It's that simple.
translation :" Be ready for a lot of pain, we have no idea how they will reverse this"
It’s almost like the paper is making it fairly obvious that they are intentionally helping usher in a brutal fascist dictatorship.
I guess headlines like “what you think is happening is exactly what is happening” aren’t clickbaity enough
Remember the scene in The Godfather after Michael said he would kill Sollozzo & Capt McCluskey Sonny was "hell no, you nuts little brother?" But Michael knew better... "We have people in the press, we can sell it, corrupt cop... involved in the drug business..." Tom Hagen "Yes" How it got done
The news is useless because it is trying to make money. Should not be for profit just like healthcare. What a shit hole country.
