I've observed the NYT's recent drift with dismay. Here's a recent example I noticed: https://imgur.com/a/uST4zE0

Somebody was murdered at a protest, and two bullet-points the NYT splashes with are "blame the victim" context hits because the deceased was on the "wrong" side.

It should not be necessary to visit a toxic site like Breitbart to get a balanced diet, but at the moment as an NYT reader I feel it is.



I don’t get it. The bullet points in your screenshot seemed factual to me. Which part of it felt like victim blaming to you?


Really? You see nothing wrong with a news article throwing around terms like "Far Right"?


I agree that the bullet points are on the victim blaming end of things, but Far Right is a factual term and I'm not sure what the issue with it is - could you elaborate on your point please?
