the more times i see this the more I think it belongs in a textbook about using woke language to reactionary ends
"I'm a rando who prefers to believe that everything is a conspiracy and am happy to tell women that I know better than she does how their literal job works" That a news org makes an editorial decision you wouldn't (or I wouldn't) doesn't mean someone is killing a story on behalf of a powerful person
"I write for the New York Times, and I can assure you that we've never buried stories on behalf of powerful people, many of those powerful people being part of NYT management. We only publish what's fit to print, like Zohran's application to Columbia that was leaked by a white nationalist"

I'm starting to think that what news consumers think is newsworthy and what reporters think is newsworthy is very different and not in a way that reflects well on reporters.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

It’s kinda funny how a lot of people say “China focuses on real tech like bio/green/hardtech instead of the jingly keys of AI” and also a lot are panicking about how China is gonna overtake us soon in the AI space race

Our libraries are cutting staff so that Elsevier can have its 32% profit margin
A staggering statistic: "North American researchers were charged over US$2.27 billion by just two for-profit publishers. The Canadian research councils and the US National Science Foundation were allocated US$9.3 billion in that year." What are we doing?
We wrote the Strain on scientific publishing to highlight the problems of time & trust. With a fantastic group of co-authors, we present The Drain of Scientific Publishing:

ok now that I see Spiers defended the Mamdani college application story I regret deleting my posts. I was like "I understand that when I wrote 'you,' it wasn't clear that I meant second person plural (as in 'the NYT itself/collectively')", but I feel like maybe it *is* her specifically too

What did the press know about Donald Trump's pedophilia and when did they know it?

for the record, this is how the @nytimes.com covered Bloomberg, a man elected to the same office as Katie Wilson with the exact same amount of experience in public office as Katie Wilson, but whom the paper did not view with obvious contempt www.nytimes.com/2001/11/07/n...

I feel like the business community in Canada is just not getting the message - there is no miracle deal with Trump and any arrangement we make will be immediately upended when he somehow takes offence at some trivial thing.

I am putting my bets on Summers being the first Epstein correspondent to be interviewed by Chotiner: he has exactly the right mix of arrogance and self-righteousness

53 NYT articles by Maggie Haberman about Hillary’s emails, 48 about Benghazi, not one about Trump’s mafia ties or Epstein.

Tells you everything you need to know.

Questioning the judgement of the editors that approved this piece is misogyny.

I don't understand why people have to concoct wild conspiracy theories in order to critique the NYT. I say this as someone who writes for them: there is plenty to critique without making up wild scenarios and insisting they're true!

So funny how the WSJ is the only paper of record doing actually investigative reporting on the administration
1) Ethics officials at Fannie Mae investigate how Bill Pulte got Letitia James mortgage docs
2) They send findings to Inspector Gen. of FHFA, which Pulte heads
3) IG sends it to Lindsay Halligan, new USA prosecuting James
4) IG and ethics officials are all fired.

Exclusive | Fannie Mae Watchdogs Probed How Pulte Obtained Mortgage Records of Key Democrats
FHFA’s acting inspector general handed the probe report to the U.S. attorney office that had indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James.

as a current new york times employee or former one who was supposed to be covering all of this, let me just say some of you should absolutely trust me when I say there’s no funny business going on with the epstein documents. what reason would I have to say otherwise
November 13, 2025 at 9:56 PM
Hard to believe an NYT employee is arguing that they couldn’t have broken the Trump-Epstein story they had a scoop on because the beat reporter only did finance, but that’s what’s happening lol.

Biggest story of the last 15 years and they just shot, shovelled and shut up.

Nothing to see here

Last week it was “You don’t understand how the Senate works” and this week it’s “You don’t understand how the Newspaper works.” Elite defenses of failed institutions.
Reporters covering Trump are not the same reporters assigned to cover the NYC mayor's race. Beat reporters have to develop sources and that takes time so you can't just switch beats with every story. So no, a reporter covering the NYC race is not going to suddenly do a Trump story, and vice versa.
So when Trump is running for president, stories about him are less newsworthy than when Mamdani is running for NYC mayor? Fascinating, continue, you're doing really well.

the reporter assigned to cover epstein and his connections to trump was from the finance desk. also he was more or less on epstein's payroll.

Yet the reporters assigned to cover children’s shows ask Ms Rachel whether she supports Hamas.

Nobody is buying this shit
