      100%, and the desperation would be funny if it wasn’t worrying that dumb people might start to buy into it.

      I am sure all the “Israel can do no wrong” media will be against him.

      Note that this article is written by former public editor of the New York Times Margaret Sullivan. She has inside knowledge and good reason to criticize what NYT is becoming!

      Yes. They. Are.

      They are supported by the wealthy, landowners, and the billionaire class.

      I mean Chomsky critiqued them for being a blatantly pro business pro capitalist pro war rag decades ago. It’s only gotten worse since then.

      I read a very long NYTimes article about the race/ethnicity check boxes Mamdami used on his application to Columbia, which was released in a large-scale hack of Columbia’s databases. The article had 2008 Obama birth certificate vibes. It was very disappointing.

      Does a bear sit in the woods?

      Protectors of the billionaire class, that is their role, along with the rest of the MSM

      one thing the opulent class doesn’t realize is that figures like mamdani represent the compromise. nobody wants to see what comes after when the compromise has repeatedly been denied.

      So I know a fair number of educated NYT subscribers, who think they are getting an intellectually rigorous take on the events of the day.

      I point out a couple things to them, which once done they admit they *cannot easily unsee,* and then their attitude towards the publication starts to move in a more healthy and honest direction.

      Point #1) the NYT got their reputation for intellectual rigor in the Op-Ed page almost entirely from Paul Krugman, in the Bush years after the debacle of the Bush v. Gore SCOTUS ruling. Krugman recently moved on from the NYT, citing a negative trend of editor intrusion on his pieces. By the time Krugman left, French was the only other writer who was interesting. The rest are has-beens or never-weres. Either way, the Op-Ed page is a pathetic shadow of its former self.

      Point #2) the production costs for fact-driven reporting are much higher than for speculative pieces that are really the options of the editorial staff pedaled as news. And that editorial staff has some very dark impulses indeed. Just ask anyone who is following the Ukraine War, or the candidacy of Mamdani. When you get a NYT subscription, most of what you are buying are vehicles for pushing ediorial opinion, dressed up as sober takes on the news of the day. If you don’t need the NYT editors to help you form opinions, then you are wasting your money. The games, after all, are mostly free.

      Obviously. It doesn’t take an investigative journalist to figure that one out.

    17. williamgman on

      Yes. They. Are. Fuck the NYT. I’d say why but some here would get their panties in a bunch. But we fucking know why.

      It’s just another massive media source that’s controlled by super rich people and zohran is an enemy to them. Andrew Cuomo is a dirty corrupt piece of shit that should not be allowed back in a public office. But they’d rather have him

    20. TheForeverUnbanned on

      I mean, they have been trying to do that since the beginning of the primary, yes

    21. LegitimateCelery9978 on

      Yes. New York Times is a center right publication, but it is extremely far right on the matters of Israeli aggression and financial markets. Mamdani would appear to them as an anathema.

    24. kjlsdjfskjldelfjls on

      Yes, very transparently. I’d cancel today if I still had a subscription 

    26. nirvana_always1 on

      Politicians and Journalists have lost all my repsect.

      There were times when we have serious Journalists willing to sacrifice their lives to hold corrupt people accountable, now they just want clicks and do the bidding of their rich masters.

    28. RedLanternScythe on

      Democrats, Republicans, and the media will always try to crucify a real progressive.

    30. Summer_is_coming_1 on

      Good job in calling out , Guardian . NY times is Fox News for corporate democrats agenda

    31. According-Mention334 on

      Yes the are because they are lead by corporate America which is ultimately corrupt

    33. dBlock845 on

      Establishment wants their cut so bad they are going hard to get either one of Cuomo or Adams to drop out and support the other. Fmr. Gov. Patterson was out giving a press conference endorsing basically anyone but Zohran today.

    35. ParserDoer on

      Mandani is the future. Y’all are the past. The revolution will be bloodless if the old guard steps aside.

    37. Socratic_Method_729 on

      Big money named companies run by rich families don’t want to be saddled with tax. When the billionaires and millionaires are afraid, you know you need to vote for this guy.

    39. CharlesB43 on

      Not just them.

      Trump and maga are scared because Mamdani is charismatic, smart, liked, and has good policies.

      SOME Politicians are scared because the ideas Mamdami have are terrifying like ACTUALLY HELPING PEOPLE. Free bus transport?! WOAH slow down, wouldn’t want the working class that takes the bus to get any break whatsoever. Don’t even get me started on his stance on child care!

      billionaires/trillionaires are terrified that people might actually wake up and realize that some of the things Zohran is running on are things that everyone should want.

      It’s a terrifying time where you can paint someone as a bad guy for wanting to help people. I’ve yet to see an interview of Zohran where he’s unable to answer a question and explain how he’d get those policies into action. Well… when they actually ask him questions and don’t run smear campaigns that try to paint him in a negative light and paint him as an unserious candidate because he made rap videos/music.

    43. SuperFishFighter on

      The textbook racism and red-scare era pearl clutching Mamdani is facing is insane

    44. psk1234 on

      Honestly, with pieces like this the NYT has clearly lost a lot of credibility. Even the Republican running for mayor schooled them on the piece.

      Mainstream media (all of them on both sides) have lost a lot of trust and this is just one example of why.

      I don’t know how many of you are subscribers and have access to the Times Machine archive, but it’s super interesting to spend a few hours reading up on the last 150 years of coverage . It’s gives you some insight into how superficial their reporting has been over the years and how much they truly represent and uphold the status quo.

    49. staedtler2018 on

      They are.

      I don’t think they’re doing a very good job at it, but then I’m no expert on NY politics.

      I can’t see how this ‚Zohran Columbia‘ study is supposed to work.

      What is the theory exactly? Who are the voters who will change their vote after reading the story, and who are they going to vote for?
