How can you trust a media outlet with conflict of interests? This naturally makes me question it's journalists now too.

One might associate NY Times with the city New York, the bastion of a free speech and democractic superpower. But after the facts, how can you not read NY times article without raising questions?

Another criticism of NYTs coverage about something, this time San Francisco: https://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1494090713482633217

It used to be normal in the news paper industry to have a hard dividing line between the "news" and "advertising" departments for this very reason. There was always a conflict of interest possible when newspapers reported on the companies placing ads with them. I'm not sure how true this is any more.

if you say all lives matter in nyc you will be beaten to a bloody pulp

NYT is like the Democratic party of newspapers. They're vaguely respectable centrists in a slightly Fascist nation.

The scary part is how many of the American population think both of them are terrifying bastions of Communist Woke Terrorism, in striking contrast to objective reality.
