Margaret Sullivan says she asked friends and relatives in various locations what kind of reporing their local media did about the massive worldwide protests Saturday against Trump:
"Quick answer: Not close to what it deserved."
Then she did her own research, and found:
"In the Wall Street Journal, the story’s placement was the 20th most important."

I used to subscribe to
--The New York Times (gutless, blinded by arrogance)
--and The Washington Post and The LA Times (our billionaire owners really believe, nudge nudge wink wink in a free press)
Now I support The Guardian every month. Margaret Sullivan reminds us of this central failing of the sources we once trusted.

To anyone still wondering if New York Times can disgrace itself even more than it already has in recent years, Dan Froomkin has an answer:
"The sad fact is that there is nothing terribly out of character about the New York Times’s decision to publish a deceptive hit piece about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, based on hacked data supplied by a noted eugenicist to whom they granted anonymity."

The New York Times Finally Stops Avoiding The G-Word
by #CaitlinJohnstone

The #NewYorkTimes has published an op-ed by a genocide scholar who says that he resisted acknowledging the truth of what #Israel is doing in #Gaza for as long as he could, but can no longer deny the obvious.
It’s an admission that may as well have come from The New York Times itself.
In an article titled “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”, a Brown University professor of Holocaust and #genocide studies named #OmerBartov argues that “Israel is literally trying to wipe out #Palestinian existence in Gaza,” and denounces his fellow #Holocaust scholars for failing to acknowledge reality.

Timothy Burke takes an incisive, illuminating look at how mainstream media ALWAYS treat stories of white men in the US — typically heterosexual ones — committing mass murder in the name of right-wing ideology.
His lens for the analysis is New York Times' report on Vance Boelter written by Dan Barry, Ernesto Londoño, and Ruth Graham.
Boelter, à la New York Times, is, it turns out, complex, mysterious, an individual.
