No one considers NYT a "paper of record" anymore. That may have been the case 8 years ago, but they have gone totally off the rails since, and everyone knows it.

I find 'everyone' to be a pretty dubious source. But I am sincerely curious: is there a publication you consider to be a "paper of record"?

There isn't one anymore. It's one of the great tragedies of the last several years of hyper-polarization.

I'd argue that the NYT remains a paper of record, but there is no way to perceive it as such for all groups present in the US.

I emphasize the reduction in common ground, over any real change at the NYT.
