Lots of people dunking on this headline. But the actual piece did a good job of explaining what they're thinking and how to provide feedback.

If the Broncos score a TD an extra point we'll have a scorigami, which is the kindest possible thing to say about this game.

Just want to take a moment to point out that someone had to type out “More on Assassinations” because there are multiple different assassination stories in the news cycle right now.

ok so the times witnessed reporters receiving cash from Adams people three times at mayoral events and sat on it for over a month but couldn’t pass up a hot tip from a neonazi about Mamdani’s unsuccessful college application for long enough to check if the neonazi had already been identified

I honestly don't understand why this is remotely controversial.
Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators
Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators
DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

Wasn’t “touching more people” the reason he had to resign from the governor’s office?
Spent this morning on the Q train with Andrew Cuomo, who took personal responsibility for his lackluster mayoral primary bid. He vows a very different general election run, saying he'll focus on "reaching out to more young people and touching more people." www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/16/a...

8/ For all its faults and blind spots the NYT is one of the last remaining sources of broad accountability and bulwarks against authoritarianism.

1/ The NYT is a great institution in a lot of ways. Many many people produce fantastic work. It is the least compromised of our major news outlets.
It's problem has always been its arrogance. Almost all of its violations, big and small, can be traced back to that.
