“[Acting CDC Director] Mr. O’Neill carved out a career in Silicon Valley, working closely with Peter Thiel, the billionaire and Republican megadonor…
During the Covid pandemic, he indicated support for a number of unproven coronavirus treatments and preventives, including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and vitamin D. He has also been critical of vaccine mandates and the Biden administration’s response to the pandemic.”

Prosecutors Fail to Secure Indictment Against Man Who Threw Sandwich at Federal Agent
“The grand jury’s rejection of the felony charge was a remarkable failure by the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington and the second time in recent days that a majority of grand jurors refused to vote to indict a person accused of felony assault on a federal agent. It also amounted to a sharp rebuke by a panel of ordinary citizens against the prosecutors…”

The new york times is a zombie paper.
A coup paper, part of the billionaire conspiracy. Part of the Trump coup.
Its sad. Lots of memories. But it uis no more, and this thing will bite you, like it does here. This madness is cancer that has destroyed it.
The New York Times Pitchbot creates satiric examples of headlines reflecting the "Paper of Record" fetish for (among other things) normalizing right wing extremism.
The headline below -- "Should ICE Agents Be Allowed to Wear Masks? It Depends Whom You Ask." -- is NOT from Pitchbot.
Head=>desk.
@dangillmor The #NYTimes has officially become its own parody.
A detailed, blistering profile of Emil Bove’s legal career and his relationship with Donald Trump. “…the president is grooming Mr. Bove for bigger things — possibly a seat on the Supreme Court.”

A "dog bites man" story from the #NYTimes. Apparently, most AI investment is taking place in rich countries. As opposed to investment in housing, car factories, coffee shops etc ? AI isn't creating the divide between Haves and Have-Nots, it's reflecting it.

In a shocking twist, it turns out officials are just as clueless about Iran's uranium as they are about how to turn off their ad blockers 😂🔍. The New York Times bravely reports this non-news with the same urgency as a cat chasing a laser pointer 🐱💨. Looks like the only thing enriched here is confusion! 🤷♂️🥴

The first half of this made more sympathetic to ZuckerBorg's position. Which made me puke into the back of my mouth as soon as I noticed it, but that's how unimpressive I found their discussion.
"Legacy media" is DOGE phrase. Huh? This was already a descriptive term for pre-digital media during Occupy.

The NY Times covered yesterday's No Kings event, one of the largest protest events in U.S. history, as a minor colorful sideshow to the Trump tanks.
Here are the NYT's current home page and its story on page 20 of the print edition.
