It is weird — or laughable — that the New York Times publisher and owner chose to write the op-ed mentioned in this Substack in the Washington Post and not his own paper.
The jokes aside?
The substance?
"Both sides" reporting is still good, Pinch says. Well, sure. It prompts subscribers.
That said, the Substack IS Kevin Kruse, a good librul Democrat type who has no problem with his party putting thumbs on scales against third-party and independent candidates. Having 2-starred his most recent book, I know that.
The complaints against the NYT are valid, and on a LOT more than electoral politics.
For example, beyond not doing "both sides" on climate change, how seriously does the NYT report on and about and from climate scientists more alarmed than climate change Obamiacs Michael Mann, Katharine Hayhoe and their ilk? You know that.
How much does it really report about the reality in Gaza? You know that. Mondoweiss earlier this week noted another pro-Palestinian American citizen killed by the IDF. (This one was in the West Bank, not Gaza.) That link also notes the NYT's lack of coverage.
The reality of American exceptionialism that Kruse accepts? You know that.
This is Kruse working the refs first, with serious concerns about journalism a distant second.
The fact that this was another piece of dreck Kuffner had on his weekend link dump speaks volumes right there.
