So, the consumers of fake news are pissed off at the NYT for exposing fake stories ? Wtf is happening to this country ?

How is it that we got by for so many decades with everyone knowing what the National Enquirer was. But now with the internet everything is falling apart. The inmates are taking over the asylum.

Its the age old question- what type of "journalism" does a free market want-similar to literature- low brow novels tend to outsell true works of literary merit
The problem the times finds itself in was they admittedly lost their journalistic way trying to take down trump and failed to cover the election in an even handed way. Having failed to get the result they desired, they are struggling to regain the high ground of proper journalism.
They lost their moral authority to call "fake news" on other when they committed some themselves.

I was gonna comment but fuck...this sums it up pretty good...

They are being taught by fucking imbeciles like you in school... this is the result of "liberal" education.

Certainly the Washington post is getting as many if not more complaints than the by times

They are being taught by fucking imbeciles like you in school protected by teachers unions. There's nothing wrong with union goals of being able to fight for earned rightful wages, but the side effects of protecting incompetence are devastating...
