INFORMATION ACCURACY WARNING: This is a New York Times (“NYT”) article. Proceed with skepticism
I’d apologise bc I haven’t even read the article, but it IS the nyt so who knows who paid for this article to be published
*paid as in actual cash, favours, golf tee times, yacht party invites, private jet use, etc
A story is only as good as its sources. I take NYT coverage on Israel/Hamas with a grain of salt because a lot of information comes directly from the IDF. NYT coverage though of peace talks, or domestic issues, is completely different. Even then, I’m usually skeptical of their polling methodology.
A better information accuracy warning would be to take nothing as absolute truth and critically examine their bias and sources. Because I guarantee, there is no publication that an information accuracy warning wouldn’t apply to. I’ve seen progressive publications do a bad job at this too.
Ever thought of Secret Service using the same abbreviation as nazi german Schutzstaffel?
Whyyy are we still posting paywall’d links to places???
I’d agree but there is a lot of “actual journalism” that is freely accessible. ProPublica, for example.
Is their funding method viable for every single journalism outlet though? Or maybe there better question would be, for every article posted, is there a 501c3 (or otherwise sustainably funded) news outlet that has published coverage on the same story?
I’m not disagreeing or agreeing with you, I’m just writing out some of my own indecision on the topic. Journalism is vitally important but it seems like it’s very difficult for people to make a living doing it and I don’t know what the answer is.
Real paywall (text not sendet) is rare, you can see the full article by disabling JS in your obligatory adblock extension.
Good.
I wonder why? It’s not like anything bad ever happens to high-profile inmates, just ask Jeffery Epstein…
Obligatory /s
