I'm consistently troubled by why we let those with the incentive to pacify journalism's language be the ones who dictate journalism's language.

Yes. Ffs yes.

It's appalling what's happened to our two best newspapers.

Picture me banging my imaginary gavel shouting; "Sustained!"

One of the defining moments in my life was getting an NCTJ which had rigorous standards for ethics & following standards, requiring continuous reading to keep you up to date on ever-changing media law. When I got to the work place, none of that mattered, in fact it was better if you forgot it all.

That's numerous legacy media outlets making that choice. Journalism school tells us that the framing of a story matters. Everything from the header to the lead to the body to the word choice matters, and by that metric it's ghastly how many of these outlets are pure naked bent-knee propaganda.

And the #NYT actually apologized for downplaying the holocaust. This apology happened just a few years ago. It seems like they learned nothing from their own writing.

The NYTimes hasn’t been a source of trustworthy news since 2016, speaking as a 50 year subscriber and dual national.

As always follow the money. Owner says do this or else.

I have a degree in AP Style journalism myself. One of the most important things we are taught is to be as neutral as possible whenever writing news stories. That expectation is routinely and deliberately ignored by so many mainstream publications today in favor of staunch pro-authoritarian bias.

WaPo and LA Times are riech there with em. Whatever sells is what they endorse

there is probably a style guide about it even

NYT is a Zionist rag.

Check their coverage of the 30s and 40s. They certainly like to lean pro fascism.

You are correct. (Former radio news guy)

Thank you, Matt!

I was taught that once you've detected a lie, to continue the interview ABOUT the lie and refuse to move on until that lie is acknowledged, explained, and dispelled in the subject's own quotes. If none of that happens, that source DOES NOT MAKE THE PAPER. Burning sources who try that shit is key.

Just canceled my NYT subscription. It‘s enough.

They have become Collaborators.

There used to be a thing called journalism where your job was to parse what’s going on from what they say is going on #brokenpress

Their lack of journalistic integrity these days is … positively Trumpian

Not mentioned once in my journalism program either.

Same. It’s so painful knowing actual journalism is dead.

The Times has failed us all.

There are a LOT of great journalists at the Time & WAPO; I wish they would leave. Because their talents are being twisted to the propaganda of their bosses. I hate that this is true. But no matter how great the journalists, I won't read them now.

Not just the NY Times.

📌

@nytimes.com is going to great lengths to normalize Trump, his regime, and his crazy followers. @nytimes.com called the assassination and attempted assassination of the Minnesota politicians "attacks on" and recently posted a Pravda worthy front page article about Trump's Triumph (the BBB)

Authoritarian Dictators can’t take over without the media outlets falling in line NYT has chosen the Trump regime over democracy This will not work out the way they think it will #StopTrump

Or fascism!

They made an editorial choice not to talk too much about those "pesky and poor" European Jews back during and before the holocaust.. so like did they do some good investigative pieces in the middle for a bit of redemption? Cos I thought they've always been toeing the line for the establishment .

It’s literally Gilded Age Ignore What Is Not Comfortable Manners.

Yeah, I never got a “mince words” lesson. We had things about protecting private citizens as sources, and the cardinal sin of misspelling a name, but never did we discuss stroking egos or not holding power to account.

Maybe the NYT should institute an award for most servile rephraser. They could call it the Duranty

Same here. My Journalism profs would be rolling over in their graves!

Thank you.

Bad choices.

even highschool newspapers dont have that level of fence riding
