Remember that time the NYT published Judith Miller's stenography for the Bush Administration's lies leading up to the war in Iraq? I'm sure they learned their lesson from that debacle, though.
I wonder what Media Bias Fact Check has to say about them?
What a goddamned joke.
The NYT was shitty long before that. They famously did not cover the Holocaust. Not the run up, and not even during the war.
When the camps were liberated, Americans at home had no idea who was in the camps.
The owner of the NYT was later asked about their failures in covering the Holocaust and the buildup, and said with a shrug "the NYT didn't really cover the Holocaust".
As a note the owner of the NYT was Jewish. But didn't want to be associated with poor Jews.
Emphasis mine.
It's class warfare all the way down.
I hadn't heard this, anything you can link to for deeper reading?
The Behind the Bastards podcast recently covered it.
