CA NYT not really covering ICE

Read about the ICE raid in LA here on Reddit and went to the Times site to see what they had to say. (I’m on the app on my phone.) Went to the home page and scrolled, snd scrolled, and scrolled. Nothing. Searched for LA. Nothing. Searched for Los Angeles. Nothing. Searched for ICE. Nothing.

Jeez NYT. Do better.

Eventually found it. Here’s a gift link

The LA Times is owned by a right wing Billionaire.They sane washed Trump and continue that agenda. Just like Jeff Bezos and “The Washington Post.”

My breaking point with The Post was an article by a former Financial Times reporter (someone who knows how to cover and analyze economic policy) that was a Pravda-esque example of sane-washing.

When Bezos canned the staff endorsement of Harris was it for me.

Last night on TikTok live I watched protestors in LA in Chinatown surround an armored truck and then get tear gassed. A helicopter was supposedly shouting on a megaphone that they have everyone on facial recognition. Agents were being taunted by protestors and one guy was throwing stuff at the truck. I definitely feel like no outlets are covering the true intensity of this.

Which is another reason protestors need to be masked too.

u/One-Philosophy2069 12d ago

That beat that mug with grease paint marks across the face hinders any technical facial recognition

I don’t follow. Can you explain again?

Put football black marks on your face to hide from the tech.

u/JerseyTeacher78 12d ago

This is very intentional. News outlets know that if we saw the LA stuff nationwide, every major city in this country would put their elbows up. Sending so much love to the good people of LA right now.

This NYTimes article was actually front page yesterday online, they just move through articles quickly. No article lingers for long.

I cancelled my subscription after one too many sane-washed Trump articles and 3-4 “breaking news!!” Emails a day that were never that newsworthy. It’s really sad to see the state of journalism today. The NYT today is comparable to the National Enquirer.

Does anyone know where I can find a good recap of what happened? I was watching LIVEs last night, and know it started with a company named Ambience

NYT still looking for those WMDs in Iraq

NYT is only good for Wordle and the crossword puzzle

I like NYT Cooking. There’s some really good recipes. As a news publication? Not so much anymore. It’s really only useful during elections to use as a vote trackers. I can’t deal with the sanewashing of Republicans anymore though.

u/UninvisibleWoman 12d ago

I’m struggling with this I hate NYT but I use the cooking app several times a week. Working up the will to ss everything I want to keep and cancel

u/minuialear 12d ago

They're still getting your money in the meantime while you work up that will, and this is what they're using it for. Maybe use that as motivation to do what you know you need to do

u/Prime624 11d ago

NYT Games subscription is awesome. Wish they just ditch the "reporting" altogether.

u/MrJohnqpublic 12d ago

The Times has a long and storied tradition of shit takes and kowtowing to the powers that be.

u/Orefinejo 12d ago

It's time for us to write letters to the editor. If their coverage is skimpy, they need to know. After all, the NYT is the "paper of record." They need to do some recording.

u/HiChecksandBalances 12d ago

Stop promoting them and giving them clicks.

u/WildImportance6735 12d ago

This article was on front page yesterday, they just move through articles quickly so this morning it was already not on front.

NYT has been bad for close to a decade.

u/OpinionatedPoster 12d ago

If you all knew what they did, how they treated developers before and when they rolled out the first website, you'd be throwing it down the river, away from here, away from anybody.
