Journalistic malpractice and NYT headline writing, a sample.
The New York Times Spread Dangerous Health Disinformation, Erased It, Hopes You Don’t Notice
The New York Times aided the MAGA, anti-science FDA in its mission to undermine the public’s trust in life saving vaccines. Another example of editorial decisions undermining trust in the Grey Lady.

By the time this nightmare is over, I’ll have made a habit of buying books from a local shop, cancelled all streaming services, have a substantial list of independent journalists and outlets for my news and commentary, and the added perk of getting outdoors more. I can live with that.
Very normal conception of journalism from a person who has never been a reporter but now is in charge of one of the largest media outlets in the most powerful country on the planet.
Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

This is the real reason Jimmy Kimmel is being taken off the air.
Brian Stelter: "Nexstar already owns lots of TV stations. It wants to merge with Tegna, which owns lots of other stations. In order to do that, it needs Brandon Carr, the FCC Chair's, permission."
