Liberal Media Turns On Itself As NYT Promises To “Rededicate” Itself To “Honest” Reporting<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n
In a letter from its owner and executive editor, the New York Times, a biased media outlet which together with the rest of the liberal press misreported on the presidential race – whether due to conflicts of interest or due to sheer stupidity – from day one, leading to such idiotic forecasts as an 86% probability for Hillary to win as recently as one week ago (contrast with\u00a0our own prediction<\/a>):<\/div>\n

… Arthur Sulzberger, the owner and publisher of the NYT, promised that the paper would \u201creflect\u201d on its coverage of this year\u2019s election, as it “rededicates” itself to reporting on \u201cAmerica and the world\u201d honestly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To be sure, that would be a vast change from the NYT’s existing coverage of events, even though despite the tacit admission of its failure to account for Trump’s “stunning” victory, in the same letter Sulzberger also writes that “we believe we reported on both candidates fairly during the presidential campaign.”<\/div>\n

No,\u00a0you did not:\u00a0<\/strong>you were too worried about losing your advertisers who would complain loudly, and threaten to pull their revenue, if they saw even implicit criticism of Hillary Clinton, which meant non stop explicit criticism of Trump. So why bring it up? Because seapking of the all important top-line, the NYT – already suffering from a collapse in ad revenue –\u00a0which plunged 18.5% in Q3<\/a>, desperately needs subscribers to keep paying for its\u00a0dis<\/em>information or else the very future of the NYT is in danger. This is how Sulzberger put it:<\/p>\n

“you can rely on The New York Times to bring the same fairness, the same level of scrutiny, the same independence to our coverage of the new president and his team.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What about the same humor?<\/p>\n
