You do realize this is an opinion column? You can tell by the big letters at the top that spell out OPINION
EDIT: here's my "both sides" take on this, you all are as dumb as Fox News viewers. IMO (notice the O stands for opinion, please do not hold Lemmy accountable for what I say) schools need to implement a class on the media. Kids need to learn the difference between news and opinion. Also learn how to identify the source of the news. Also don't post your nudes on the internet. Things are about to get a lot worse with AI and deep fakes
NYT still saw fit to publish it. Most would consider that a tacit endorsement.
That, and the author is a regular writer for the opinion section there, with consistently terrible takes.
Somebody paid NYT and this parasite to do this job.
Plebs need to understand that these shill ops ain't free...
Yeah and? Doesn't make his opinion any less garbage
You do realize, even for an opinion piece, this is astoundingly poor quality and taste? You can tell by having two brain cells to rub together.
I expect this sort of shit from a tabloid, not from any organization claiming journalistic integrity. A shitty piece is still a shitty piece, even if it's hiding behind the opinion column banner.
Do you see NYT publishing any opinion pieces to the effect of "The healthcare CEO socially murdered thousands every year and the fact that we don't have a legal mechanism to deal with them is infinitely more important than a guy who only killed one person"
I have an opinion, you're an ignorant bootlicker! Should that get posted to the frontpage of the times too?
That commeneter is a classic neo lib call for "reasonableness"
Daddy is raping you but you need to hear about both sides, boy:
Purity Now! Purity Tomorrow! Purity Forever!
The great thing about opinions? They typically spur opinions from other people. And those opinions spur more opinions.
What I’m trying to say is that the article being an opinion does not in any way negate the comment you’re being dismissive of, which in itself is an opinion too. That’s kind of how conversations happen.
An opinion The NY Times chose to share with their readers.
Your point? The Editor still has control over what is allowed to be printed/released and associated with their name.
Nobody responding to you was unaware this was an opinion piece.
Reread the responses and try again.
Opinions should be here to stay!
I liked the preprint of their opinion column publishing tomorrow, headline:
NYT doesn't decide if its news or opinion alone, so does their audience.
Therefore they are responsible for the ideas they give a platform too.
Do you remember why are they avoiding face shots of Luigi?
In a comment full of shit takes, i just wanna point out that you think the government teaching media literacy in school is the solution?
I hope you wear a helmet regularly.
So edgey, dear
