Regardless of the format, NYT SUCKS. This isn’t any real newspaper. It’s Leftist propaganda that would make Pravda blush. I wouldn’t allow it on my Kindle if they paid ME the $13.99 a month.

Why would any thinking person bother with a rag (virtual or no) that has descended to such sloppy ill-researched reporting? I prefer my editorials published as such, not gracing page 1 as news. With the paper edition I can at least line the bottom of Tweety II’s cage as well as housetrain Spidey, our 8 weeks old mastiff.

The New York Times has become a second rate newspaper at best. Definitely not worth the high price tag, and I wouldn’t even want it free of charge. I expect objective reporting from my news sources… Biased, propaganda-driven journalism is useless to me.
My one star rating is strictly for the newspaper. Kindle still gets five stars.

The Times used to be a respected newspaper but no more. If you care about fair and balanced reporting then stay away from the New York Times.

The NYT is way over-rated. Just a few examples. On their first page, they talked about saving the nation’s energy by painting roofs white. Any white paint? No, special white paint from government labs! It turns out any old white paint will do, that a government program is not necesaary, but the NYT did not say so. Irresponsible. In the area of health reporting, Pope wrote a silly article about a Dr. Kesler’s book about food. She did not mention that, as head of the FDA, he was engaged in running battles with vitamin and food manufacturers for years. Many of these battles he lost in the courts, which is now why we can use aspirin for heart treatment, which is just as good as the expensive biotech drugs the FDA was touting. Uncritical and irresponsible reporting. A dereliction of the journalist’s duty.
And what about the economists like Krugman who don’t have a clue about how to save the nation’s economy. Yet they pontificate in those pages.
If you are a times reader, i encourage you to find better sources.

To continue this rant, I posted a comment on the NYT website in response to an article. My tone was reserved and systematic. The subject was the blocking of medical innovation by the medical bureaucracy and government. (FDA) GUESS WHAT? tHE COMMENT WAS ERASED. They evidently censor comments they don’t agree with, or that may offend their advertisers. Is this the kind of society you want? You may not agree with me, but do you want to shut up those you disagree with? Hint: You could be next.
So my objections to the NYT are ethical and moral. Unfortunately, they have become government hacks rather than responsible journalists.
