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."

This is why I keep saying to people in targeted cities: POST YOUR TRUTH. Because shitsheets like this will publish this crap.

FUCK the NYT.

Photo of a page of The New York Times both-sidesing Trump, Vance, Miller, and ICE's lies about Portland as "Comparative Calm or 'Hellscape'?" which even in its both-sidesing moves the needle to the right by calling the calm "comparative."

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?

Timothy Burke takes an incisive, illuminating look at how mainstream media ALWAYS treat stories of white men in the US — typically heterosexual ones — committing mass murder in the name of right-wing ideology.

His lens for the analysis is New York Times' report on Vance Boelter written by Dan Barry, Ernesto Londoño, and Ruth Graham.

God damn, NYT!!! Can’t you get anything right?!? How about “ALLEGES” no evidence?
