This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was okay with NYT until I saw the completely unfair and unbalanced way they treated Sanders vs Hillary, promoting every negative story about Sanders and nothing about Hillary. Taking Hillary's side on every issue and controversy. That was when I realized they just look liberal until there's any real change to the oligarchy proposed, and that's when the knives come out.
More recently they've been publishing all kinds of Israeli propaganda along the lines of "criticizing genocide = Antisemitism" when reporting on college protests and the like. This is the same stance the president is taking to deport or imprison innocent college students and cut funding off to these universities and the NYT is happy to help them do it by manipulating public opinion. They've been doing this stuff for over a hundred years now. Funnily enough back in WWII, they also sided with the Nazis and went out of their way to ignore or omit any mention of the holocaust. They continually like to be on the wrong side of history.
The NYT published nearly 1200 stories on the holocaust during WWII, it just was rarely on the front page. They should have emphasized it more, but that's hardly "siding with the Nazis". You are free to criticize them for not doing enough at the time but you could say the same thing about the world as a whole.
The NYT ran more “her emails” than any other story that year. They gave trump a free pass, like everybody else. They created this hellscape as much as any corporate news outlet, and in many cases, more so.
