Sulzberger relentlessly platforms radical right anti-democratic activists. Remember how the nyt legitimized Curtis Yarvin, a racist?
The nyt itself provides the gateway from fringe radicalism directly into the mainstream

So here’s what the nyt’s eugenics promoting hit man has to say about about the administration’s monstrous order to round up homesless ppl.

A couple of impressions. Healy seems to be saying that, really, Mamdani was the source, not the racist who provided the foundational info to the nyt and that the nyt used to confront the candidate. That’s pretty contorted logic🧵
