"New York Times editor Joe Kahn misunderstands what the readers want. They want the Times to be more honest, not more partisan. ...

If he did listen, Kahn would hear a clear and simple message: The unique dangers that Trump poses to our nation demand a more assertive journalism. The Times needs to start connecting the dots. It needs to declare a state of emergency. And it needs to help us figure out how to survive it."

"Trump is a prolific purveyor of hate speech who has managed to normalize vile attacks on immigrants from dozens of countries. In the beforetimes, it would have been unthinkable for a president to engage in racist hate speech in the Oval Office in front of reporters.

"Seven million people show up, but don’t make the front page.

Last weekend, the largest collection of public gatherings in modern US history took place, across all 50 states.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, FUCK the New York Times.

Even in this both-sidesing, they're moving the needle towards the fascist by calling the calm "comparative."

FUCK the NYT.

Recently the website has been full of annoying autoplaying videos. At this moment, there are six autoplaying videos on the landing page, and three of them are in a special hashtag <nyt-betamax> which dodges the Firefox Disable Autoplay extension. (I just spent 15 minutes figuring out how to add a CSS rule to hide the element.) What is this about? Hasn't anyone told the Times that "pivot to video" was a scam?
