The Absurdity of the New York Times
5th December 2020
Being British and having an appreciation for sound journalism, much of the New York Times’recent output has mercifully passed me by. But a tweet from one of their writers asserting that baby gender reveals are violence compelled me to visit their site. Much of what I found on there was awful but the absurdity of the Trump derangement articles never quite reached the laugh out loud lunacy of their author’s Twitter feeds. I suspect this is due to despairing yet defensive editors cutting out the really loopy stuff and trying to patch together in vain the paper’s now ragged reputation. Before I could leave, I was urged by a lurid pink banner to listen to what appeared to be the New York Times’ flagship podcast: Nice White Parents.
