How four major newspapers are treating the Epstein emails release. Guardian has full-width webpage lead; LAT, WaPost and NYT one-column heads. I'll let you be the judge of the NYT language.

This is what happens when legacy media lose staff with institutional memory and judgment. No other major newspaper, even the @nytimes.com, is playing this as its lead story—from New Hampshire—on its site. What makes the @latimes.com think this is the top story its readers should be concerned about?

60 years ago today. A typical hot and humid day in Houston. Open seating, so we arrived at 10 a.m., hoping to get a seat close to the stage. After a while, they opened the doors so all these kids outside wouldn't start dropping like flies. The Beatles were on stage for all of 30 minutes. $5!

Gee, this was my experience in Silver Lake. And probably 99% of LA today.
The headline here is for the main story. The link should be to the down-page story about Sunday morning calm downtown. Not sure why it doesn't pick up that headline:

And the NYT normalizing it all by injecting “seeming to misspeak.” There’s no “seeming”; if his mouth is open, he’s misspeaking … in the only way a mentally declining ignoramus with a third grade vocabulary could

The @nytimes.com just cannot bring itself to tell the truth. Even The Washington Post got close and The Guardian, as always, makes it clear what's going on.
