   The timing is the Supreme Court's. This is worse than bullshit. It is disinformation. And the #BrokenTimes chooses to enable it.

     @jeffjarvis Fortunately or unfortunately, the vast majority of US voters don't read the NYT. I'm not sure how many see the headline TLDR on social media. The NYT sucks, but it sucks to *be* the NYT. How much reach does their vibe have?

     @alcinoe @jeffjarvis I don't think the Supremes were trying very hard to hide their intent.

     @jeffjarvis Exactly. I think that it is the Court that owes us an explanation of how both their decision and the time it took making it weren't solely meant to protect to protect Trump.

     @timo21 @jeffjarvis True. The solution or rather response would be to not post links or headlines from the NYT and such in one's feed. Do you think aggravating people who already dislike the bias is worth flashing the headline in front of people susceptible to disinfo?

     Or put a content warning if you just have to post. Check the flow of bs, even if just a little.

     @tinydoctor People do read the NYT headlines in their feed though. Then if they click on it, the article is paywalled. So even if an article is fairly written, all people see is a carefully crafted biased headline. The only legacy media not like that are rags like the NY Post which are total BS. Those are purposely left open.
