BRAK AND BLUE: Meanwhile the Chicago Tribune, which should have been at the level to step in, instead always had horrid app and web version and got Alden'd

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.

oh my god YES?

the implications of "every local newspaper closed, but the Times is thriving" seems really, really lost on folks who don't understand networks.

I think it helps to elevate LA Times, Houston Chron, that tier of news much more often, especially to point up that there's nothing inevitable about the NYT's judgment. (This is absolutely not a statement about NYC.) bsky.app/profile/sjjp...
