@mmasnick illustrates how bad the NYT's political reporting can be:
“I’m going to focus on a NY Times article by Maggie Astor & Rebecca Davis O’Brien. They’re politics reporters, & that often means that they’re covering the politics & not the facts when it comes to the fundamental details of what they’re reporting on. And that’s a problem. It leads to ... reporting where you report what people are saying but not whether or not what they’re saying is true.”
