Me: This is just a editorial board that is choosing to publish what drives traffic and what they feel profits opinion journalism. They need to be held accountable for the curated words they publish.
You: That’s a naive representation of a very serious newsroom for very serious news people, and you must be too young to understand that. This is news but at the same time different and distinct from news, a tradition of diligently presenting the world of views by curation with an attempt to be objective.
NYT opinion editorial team: We never read the article we published lol
Even the NYT opinion editorial board has been forced to change their stories multiple times as the truth has been drug out. This was objectively curation based on provocation and engagement metrics at its finest, trying to wring dollars through outrage and social media traffic where any reaction is good for business. However, since the NYT is attempting to meet the standards of the truly world class publications stooping to the editorial process of a bad tabloid tend to be signs of a bad editorial department. I find this to yet another example of an entire news media organization being dragged down by the sloppy and seemingly unethical practices considered standard in their opinion staff, or at least its leadership. What’s worse is the continued misuse of shallow freedom of speech memes to try and pretend their obvious flaws are not actually flaws but their greatest strength - meanwhile the reporting on the situation on hand just shows lazy, angry incompetents.
