Remember that time the NYT published Judith Miller's stenography for the Bush Administration's lies leading up to the war in Iraq? I'm sure they learned their lesson from that debacle, though.
I wonder what Media Bias Fact Check has to say about them?

The NYT was shitty long before that. They famously did not cover the Holocaust. Not the run up, and not even during the war.
When the camps were liberated, Americans at home had no idea who was in the camps.
The owner of the NYT was later asked about their failures in covering the Holocaust and the buildup, and said with a shrug "the NYT didn't really cover the Holocaust".
As a note the owner of the NYT was Jewish. But didn't want to be associated with poor Jews.

Emphasis mine.
It's class warfare all the way down.

They also kept doubling down on their reporting of systemic sexual violence on Oct 7. Family members of the victims disputed that sexual violence was a component of their murders. They have not retracted this reporting.

The "great" part about how absolute shit NYT is, is how after the "great media consolidation" ~15 years ago when most of the major outlets were bought by billionaires the first thing they did was cut their investigation and research departments in favor of "copying" the NYT stories...
They don't care about quality, or content, they're the typical business school jackass type that thinks "ThE BrAnD mEAnS eVeRyThInG!" As in: you'll eat whatever I serve and you'll keep doing it because of the name I bought.
Same shit is happening with so called "AAA" game developers (Bethesda... Among others) except this isn't fucking clothing. Gucci sells because people want the name. The Washington Post can go fuck themselves, no one but Bezos cares about the name.
