Legacy media is dying, and the hangers on are old corporate types with a "conservative" bias and agenda. The same shit happened at CNN a couple of years ago, right? Hyper polarization is not going away. It's the new normal.

NYT has always been a news outlet for the oligarchy. They’re not left or right, they’re not for big government or small government. They are in support of oligarchs doing oligarchy things.
The NYT is noticing young people don't buy newspapers. They're betting on the boomers who still grab papers based on the headlines.
The NYT is 20 years late to the party, if they're just now noticing this
I’ve also found that The NY Times is getting worse lately, not so much in leaning left or right but just in terms of the focus. Like their coverage of campus politics is so fucking tedious. I don’t give a rat’s ass about what some sophomore at U Penn thinks about global affairs. There also seems to be more access journalism and beat sweeteners. Maybe early in an election campaign is the time for that stuff but it’s still useless bullshit.
It’s closer to enshittification than something where the staff writers suddenly got worse. They still have good writers. It seems more like the editors got worse at assignments rather than the rank and file screwing up their reports.
Salon complaining about the NYT having a right wing bias is the ultimate in ultra-liberal wankery. The Times isn't perfect, far from it, but good grief, get a grip.
