I'm not cynical enough to think this is deliberate. But it's amazing how often the NYT publishes something with a terrible both-sidesy headline, gets ripped for it (along with a bunch of angry hate-clicks) and then changes it to something more palatable.

Dan Kennedy (dankennedy_nu@journa.host)'s status on Friday, 09-Feb-2024 12:34:56 JST Dan Kennedy Just incredible that we're dealing with Comey redux. "He didn't commit a crime, but let me take a moment here to shit all over him and try to destroy his re-election campaign." Prosecutors charge or they don't charge. It was grotesquely unethical for Hur to slime Biden on his way out the door.

Dan Kennedy (dankennedy_nu@journa.host)'s status on Friday, 03-Nov-2023 12:36:16 JST Dan Kennedy @admin But they also eliminated all local news from the weeklies, even from the ones that still have a spectral print presence. They replaced it with regional news from around the chain.

Dan Kennedy (dankennedy_nu@journa.host)'s status on Thursday, 02-Nov-2023 23:31:30 JST Dan Kennedy @admin I think the answer was zero. Of course Gannett closed and merged a number of weeklies in Eastern Mass. about a year and a half ago. https://dankennedy.net/2022/03/17/gannett-goes-a-massive-spree-of-closing-and-merging-weekly-newspapers/

Dan Kennedy (dankennedy_nu@journa.host)'s status on Thursday, 02-Nov-2023 23:18:02 JST Dan Kennedy @melaniesill @dangillmor Local news outlets have generally embraced Facebook, only to be screwed over by Zuckerberg’s ever-shifting strategies. But organizations involved in the future of local news remain firmly planted on X/Twitter. Our @whatworks news feed is on Mastodon, but I crosspost to @whatworks_nu@twitter.com. Otherwise, no one would ever see it.
