They're trying every angle they can think of to avoid admitting that people didn't react negatively to this because literally everyone in the country has been negatively affected by people like that CEO.

If I believed in a deep state (which I categorically do not) NYT would be part of it.

I do, however, believe in giant media companies funded by the 1%, who have just lost one of their own to one of the plebs, staffed by management who will steer things in the needed direction. Any doubt I had of that has been destroyed by their coverage of Gaza.

It’s very real, it’s just not anything like what far-right conspiracy theorists think it is[1][2][3].

NYT is as corpo as media can get. We must remember what side they are on. Journalism is dead.

[–] bane_killgrind@slrpnk.net 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was listening to the radio this morning and the dude was saying he'd rather have CEO shootings in the news than all the school shootings. It's not dead, it's just hard to find a pulse.

Here I was heavily paraphrasing.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

NYT has always been pro-corporate.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 12 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Wtf. Journalism is definitely not dead. We just need to stop linking to corporate news outlets.

Zateo, democracy now, the intercept, truth out, common dreams, etc. There's loads of great media outlets out there...

Maybe we should just ban the corporate ones from this community? Or create a new community that only allows links to nonprofit news outlets?

Law/justice is also dead, especially as folks stop believing in any piece of state evidence.

Two seconds later it could be you or me who are picked up and demonized for random stuff.

Truthfully this is my image state power. They make shiat up 100% of the time. So it's not a question of is it true or not. It's a question of how they are lying. Like a puzzle to be solved or exposed for the entertainment, but even that eventually grows old. Oh a cop MSM or a politician corpo said it ... pfft!

Citizens don't believe anything out of the State or Media. Obviously not a healthy situation when everyone is considered an actor.

The NYT is at least partly responsible for the Iraq war 2. Fuck them.

Corporate media is going to protect their advertisers by shotgunning bullshit articles trying to change the narrative

The classic scapegoats aren't there this time. Can't blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the "crime" and that's not good to some people.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago

Pretty successful and well off kid, definitely not just someone desperate and broke they can tear apart, and he's articulating his position against these fuckers. It's really beautiful. A folk hero.

[–] granolabar@kbin.melroy.org 20 points 1 month ago

Luigi is deff what the media has fed society as "CHAD"

Not even being ironic here tbh

Now the only explanation why Chad would do this is "he had bad back"

Alright... go on...

FDR was also part of the elite class and he had his own issues....

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 59 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Not a criminal until a guilty verdict...

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (5 children)

It's also not a crime to eradicate a parasite.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean it’s a “crime” technically but that doesn’t mean we can’t nullify it!

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Yes breaking the law is a "crime" but to be a criminal you need to have the verdict saying you committed it. Innocent until proven and all. A "not guilty" or null result means not a criminal.

Thank you!

Being neutral cute both ways, he is innocent until a jury of his peers decide to vote guilty.

Just hope he doesn’t sign a confession, there is plenty of resources for him to fight this.

Also, I think all people charged with a crime deserve this benefit or the doubt.

It couldn't be because we've been starved of seeing anything resembling actual justice could it?

Horrible people do horrible things and have been getting away with it since before I was born. No wonder people are reacting the way they are.

Being handsome doesn't hurt, but people like him for what he did. He could be a hunchback and there'd be supportive quasimodo memes I'm sure.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that's quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I used to read it a lot because it had good arts and literary sections back when actual papers were a thing. Reading the Sunday Times with a cup of coffee on Sunday in my bathrobe was a pleasure. Now they just specialize in these garbage takes.

Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined "largest immigration surge in US History" under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election

The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago

The pro-slavery New York Times?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Because the arts and literary sections and the magazine were actually quite decent so it gave that impression.

It's NYT. If you can't defend Thompson as being worth keeping alive, may as well play the woke race card and say we only like him because he's an attractive white male.

[–] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

NYT is a very conservative newspaper, they are only "woke" in the very shallowest sense when convenient to them.

His crime is one of the reasons we find him attractive. It's not being overshadowed it's being celebrated.

Frantically attempting to spin this in favour of predatory finance capitalism.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Tens of millions of lives ruined by "just good business" is the headline.

Stop worshipping profit or everything will get worse, even if there are no violent responses.

Everybody talking about anything else in this case is lying by omission.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 month ago

Post links to articles, not screenshots of articles. Downvoted and reported.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

+1

Or at least an archive link.

At least it’s Bluesky, not Twitter?

Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.
