The NYT is pretty left leaning

I think you're living in an alternate reality, mate.

...I mean just look at their Lifestyle section. It's clearly aimed at the kind of person who owns "a summer house in the Hamptons." You can hardly call yourself "left" when your main audience is firmly the capitalist class in Manhattan.

The same NYT that is currently sanewashing Trump? The same NYT that sat on the story about the NSA spying on US citizens for over a year at the request of the Bush administration? That NYT? I say this with all sincerity and intend no offense, but what the living fuck are you talking about?

I wouldn't look at the lifestyle section for news. Lifestyle is always lifestylish.

The same NYT that is currently sanewashing Trump?

Why restate the obvious for the millionth time? Nearly nobody who'd wholeheartedly support Trump reads NYT regularly. There's so much more better and substantial stuff to report like how a Canadian province is covering up a mysterious brain disease that has a much higher potential of changing society rather than just "oh trump is still wagging is way along". EnoughTrumpSpam already.

The same NYT that sat on the story about the NSA spying on US citizens for over a year at the request of the Bush administration?

I'll concede that. Like I said, to a lesser extent.
