It is an insult to injury when major sheets claim they are independent and progressive. One may say that everyone knows that every single medium has its own agenda.
But they constantly brainwash, are far from being pacifists, and don’t promote human rights (even those non-economic ones). But the main issue is they completely fail to explore patron-client relationships that the US is ridden of – privatized attorneys, privatized judges, privatized foreign policy, privatized FBI, privatized CIA, lobbyists, big banks – and finally the super-rich groups. But why criticize the super-rich when they are owned by the super-rich?
The New York Times is one of the most shallow newspapers one could imagine. The other main issue is that they are anti-progress. You may think they are liberal. Yes, they are, but by enlarging the scope of what we consider progressive, the NYT absolutely fails to promote societal welfare.
Big, fat, and satisfied old men that I am completely repulsed to call journalists have no concern about changing things. No progress at all.
To make things clear, 98 % of politics is in the background. Never heard the NYT exploring this.
To explore your horizons, Komsomol was the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League and they knew how to conform and make sure what party desires were. Kind of the NYT.
And I used to want to be a journalist as a kid! Dear God (and I am an atheist)!
