When did the NYT turn Maga?
I can't quite pin it down, but somewhere around Biden winning in 2020 and the insurrection in 2021. They must have realized that their dying medium could only survive on sensational reporting - and what better to help that than ever more Trumpian antics?
Carlos Slim, one of the richest men in the world, buying lots of shares in 2011 and 2015 might have something to do with it too.
NYT isn't so much biased in terms of Democrats or Republicans. It's biased in terms of what stirs up the most shit for the sake of clicks.
A lot of news outlets have turned into just churning drama. I've noticed it this election cycle with NYT and CNN.
The NYT has been in the bag for the GOP since at least the 1960s.
