I had been a lifelong reader of The NY Times. It was the paper of record. If they wrote it, it was true (generally). While my politics are right of center, I respected and trusted the paper. Then Covid happened. DiBlasio send the police in to the outdoor memorial for a Hasidic rabbi who died in Brooklyn. The gathering was dangerous to the spread of Covid, and needed to be broken up, he said. Then, Floyd died. And the dramatically larger marches in his memory were allowed by DiBlasio to go forward. I made a comment in the Times that this may be evidence of antisemitism. The Times curator allowed the comment and it got immediate likes. It then got deleted, and I was permanently banned from ever making comments again. Needless to say, I cancelled my subscription.
“marches in his memory”??? You ARE a NYT reader. Despite the best efforts of MSM, most people realize that a STUNNING number of those were not “marches”; they were riots. And purposely so.
NYT? It covered up the holocaust for as long as it could. It covered up the Ukrainian famine for as long as they could. Why do people still read the Times?
What the silence on the Floyd riots made obvious was the left’s extreme hypocrisy and the press’ failure/refusal to call it out. I’ll never forget seeing young women screaming in the faces of police officers who couldn’t respond or protect themselves from the sputum (or the fury). Hordes of young people shoulder to shoulder without masks when the rest of us were being told to stay inside and stay away from other people. And no news outlet pointing out the hypocrisy. It was maddening!

Wow. That’s a new low for the NYT.
