Am I crazy or did they run this exact same story a week ago?
Despite calls from politicians for her resignation, Sally Kornbluth, the president of MIT, has avoided a concerted effort to bring down her presidency after testifying in a tense congressional hearing last month on antisemitism.
M.I.T.’s President Has Weathered the Storm, for Nowwww.nytimes.com Despite calls from politicians for her resignation, Sally Kornbluth has avoided a concerted effort to bring down her presidency.

NYT is just going to keep running this story until the activism they're promoting works, apparently

It's wild that everyone pushing this campaign pretended to care about plagiarism, but then as soon as Gay was pushed out went right back to, "Lol, jk, it's about that BS hearing"

Gotta keep the story warm until a rightwing propagandist can dig up some unpaid parking tickets or whatever thin pretext they need to make the narrative machine go brrrrrr.

Lots of wish casting from the NYT. Last week:

BREAKING: nothing happening. Yet.

BREAKING: you stopped paying attention to this so we're gonna try again.

Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

& why the Democrats are "struggling"

They have certainly stepped up the “why is this not happening” thing yet with the economy and many other issues. Click bait. Hoping the other shoe will drop. But conversely it’ll be like “despite x this is why trump is still popular”

This is an incredible premise for an article lol I never went to journalism school or anything but I feel like even my 10th grade English teacher would have rejected an article premised on "well nothing has happened here, SO FAR" lol

“For now” and by that we mean right until we published this article “simple asking questions”

it's like how caravan stories leading up to an election, and once the election is over, the caravans somehow magically disappear

it's so frustrating watching the influential mass media continue to step on rakes. the playbooks are all here and they continue to fumble. it's gonna be really bad this year.

They aren't fumbling. I really need people to understand it isn't incompetence. It's malice.

"So far" "For now" = NYT still working on it

They're so mad that it hasn't worked

Fucking SEETHING. We got more coverage on this shit than Menendez doing bidness with Qatar and Egypt and Trump taking China cash. Can't imagine which one matters more.

They want to destroy all women and marginalized people who hold positions of power. Fuck them.
Avatar
is it not fairly transparent that it is now the editorial policy of the NYT to further the prospects of the far right?
Avatar
But the "liberal media"! If there's one thing the GOP excels at, it's sales and marketing. Repeat a lie enough times, people think it's the truth.

But Parker haven't you heard, the New York Times does NOT do activism

This begs the question of who the actual fuck *is* buying the NYT now. Because if you’re still putting your hand in your pocket for the NYT at the moment, *you’re* the problem. I cancelled a couple of years back and fuck them. They’ve nailed their colors to the mast…

So much this. It’s made me sad to realize that all of these brands I put so much trust into either were never what I thought they were, or had been perverted into something awful, but it’s all about the $$$$ and it only stops if they stop earning it.

nyt is absolutely gonna hire chris rufo in six months
Avatar
Why pay him when it's them working for him, for free?
Avatar
They’re waiting for Tapper to tweet so Rufo can retweet him and thank him again

There's more copying here than in any of Gay's publications that they pretended to care about
Avatar
Huge opportunity for MIT to issue a statement that just says "lol give it a rest"
Avatar
Really not doing any introspection to look at how they’re going after women, what the percentage of top academic leadership is women, what the agenda might be… “All the news we fit is shit.”
Avatar
yup. funny how the universities run by men seem to be so ~perfect~
Avatar
What with the sleeping with subordinates scandals, covering up sex abuse scandals, athletic scandals…nothing to see here.

I think the "journalists" in question believe that "taking powerful people down", even at the behest of ghoulish right-wing propagandists is some sort of "accountability journalism."

As people with $100,000+ journalism degrees from NYU, they are the little guy.

You think at least they'd change out the art.

Unfortunately for today's NYT, it's completelyfuckingbelievable... They have been bought.

What if this is a weird New York anti-Boston thing going on in addition to everything else

It isn’t. They did the same articles for the Penn and Columbia presidents
