More than any other newspaper I know it attracts the most confidently vapid readers, and the political blindspots of the newspaper are as big as the Iraq War.

      I am not a program with a binary logic check, obviously it is a gradation of judgement, how would I know from one instance of someone doing something what they are truly like? …but if you regularly read the NYT and treat it as a trustable resource on the level of other highly respected international news organizations, yes I am going to lose respect for you… based on how much you prioritize reading the NYT over other news.

      I don’t know if you have met people who do this, but there are plenty of people who pick the NYT as their news source and just mostly check that. It is mercifully becoming rarer, but not rare enough.
