"The New York Times was almost as unmoved [as CBS], despite the many huge gatherings in the paper’s own backyard. The Times’s print front page on Sunday morning featured two small photographs, below the fold, and the story appeared on page 23. It was part of their wrap-up titled 'The 47th President.'”

"Motivating 2% of the population to do anything on a coordinated basis has rarely happened in the history of our nation. Some readers noted that early editions of the New York Times said that 'thousands' had shown up to protest; later coverage by the Times on Saturday (updated on Sunday) gave a fair accounting of the large crowds. See New York Times, '''No More Trump!’: Protesters Denouncing the President Unite Across the Country."

"The 'What’s next' question is a positive sign. But some political commentators are spinning that question in a negative way, as in,
'Okay, so you had a big protest. What else you got?' Ignore them. They didn’t show up on No Kings Day 2.0 (or 1.0 for that matter)."

"That's the kind of thing the paper does routinely. What I bet none of us could have predicted was the New York Times downplaying the president of the United States posting a video of himself dropping shit on the American people."

"By mid-day on Sunday, the front page of the New York Times website contained not a single news article about the protests. ...

A few days ago many of us would have expected the New York Times to under-cover the No Kings protests relative to its coverage of much smaller right-wing gatherings."

Jonathan V. Last's scathing indictment of corporate media in the US is perfect:

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian."

Last focuses on CBS and Washington Post. I'd add New York Times to the list.

Noting that Ezra Klein has a big voice as someone with a podcast hosted by New York Times, A.R. Moxon writes,

"I find myself almost entirely in opposition to Klein , because I can't get over the degree to which his approach is designed not to defeat the human spirit of supremacy that drives all these horrors, but to sink comfortably into it and join with it."

NYT has a long, sordid history of allowing privileged people, notably straight white males like Klein, to speak on behalf of minority communities that are not allowed to speak in their own voice. We're seeing this arrogance — and, frankly, cruelty — on display all over again in how NYT deals with trans people.'

Klein is doing what NY Times does and has long done, professing all the while to be a "liberal" outlet.

My perspective:

Ezra Klein is the New York Times in a nutshell. He embodies what NYT has long been, a force arrayed the progressive wing of the Democratic party while the most outré and dangerous fascist developments of the Republican party are normalized by NYT.

"And I cannot get over the degree to which Klein's response is emblematic of the politically-empowered white liberal response to this age of autocratic fascist abuse and violence, in his predictable rightward instinct and in his seemingly impenetrable assumption that, even though he admits he has no idea what the solution to our present situation might be, he is still just the person to deliver a solution."

"Appalling to see zero coverage of the ICE kidnappings and invasion in Chicago by @nytimes and @washingtonpost.

An unconscionable failure by the papers of records that needs to be fixed immediately."

"In Nazi Germany people kept living their everyday lives while fascism swallowed their country. Bread was bought, children played, people dated, movies played in theaters. Normal life is how fascism thrives. If it feels normal right now, that should terrify you."

How do you measure editorial independence in 2025? The advocacy group Free Press has created a Media Capitulation Index, ranking commercial media and tech companies on a scale from one to five chickens, and giving a star to just a couple of organizations. Here's Nieman Lab's story; find the full ranking at the second link. “These corporations exist because of public policy,” Tim Karr, the author of a supplementary report on the ranking, told journalist Margaret Sullivan. “There is a genuine popular movement to create a more democratic media system. People should get engaged in this debate.”

To anyone still wondering if New York Times can disgrace itself even more than it already has in recent years, Dan Froomkin has an answer:

"The sad fact is that there is nothing terribly out of character about the New York Times’s decision to publish a deceptive hit piece about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, based on hacked data supplied by a noted eugenicist to whom they granted anonymity."
