I've noticed that the NYT has it out for anything remotely related to capitalism. Didn't they put out a article a while back about how Jeff Bezos becoming so rich is terrible, and they purposely neglected to mention the millions of Americans that also gained in wealth due to Jeff's actions.

These days the NYT is doing some very biased reporting.

The editor of the NYT editorial page recently explicitly stated the goal of defending capitalism: https://fair.org/home/top-nyt-editor-we-are-pro-capitalism-t...

If you read the NYT it is at the very least staunchly moderate on capitalism, if not (in my opinion) a doggedly fierce advocate for it, especially at a time when much of its readership is pushing to the economic left.

This would align with some of their other recent questionable moves, like the hiring (and defense) of a ridiculously racist editor.

These moves kind of smell of ideological possession to me.
