How The New York Times is (still) getting gamed by the right
And blowing its credibility in the process.
If they keep getting gamed by the right, umm, maybe they are just rightwing transphobes?
The New York Times is Right Wing.
Nearly all corporate media is.
They are neoliberals, which is basically center-right. They aren't being gamed, that's their stance.
Yeah I think I lost faith in them a while ago. I don't trust them or WaPo anymore.
I don't like having to defend the Times, but the rumor is that they rushed this story out before Christopher Rufo could break the news (with what would almost certainly be a right-wing spin).
I doubt the Times would ever admit to publishing a story with the goal of hindering the formation of a right-wing narrative but in this case if they did, it might have been the right call as opposed to waiting for Rufo and publishing a "fact check" of his reporting later.
