I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.
It really is, isn’t it.
The watered-down both-sides presentation of “news,” your racist uncle’s loud opinion on the side, a little kvetching about inflation or “those darn kids,” your Aunt Stella’s recipes, a heartwarming human interest story about a dog, the ubiquitous homogeneity… it’s Facebook.
