In Reply to: No, the Times is NOT a fine, respectable paper, and hasn't been for decades posted by Chris from Lafayette on May 13, 2020 at 16:56:06:
As usual, among some, feelings trump facts and reasoned argument.He makes assumptions on how you think and then condescendingly lectures you i. e. "If you rely on one news source you aren't doing yourself any favors and if you believe everything you read and then spread it around, you aren't doing anyone any favors." "Don't tumble into that Black Hole of Deep State BS or take sides, use all sides to get where you need to be. Absorb all the info you can, make your own decisions."
Yet, he provides no argument to the information presented in the article in your original post, and blindly defends the NYT as "a FINE, respectable paper".
Then he states "Notice how many of the "unenlightened" disparage more and more MSM news sources every year searching out news sources that fit their agenda? They further narrow their myopic view of things, their tolerance of others and their input into society."
Who is the " many" that he talks about? In the context of his reply to your post, it looks to me that he was implying that the "many" would include you.
Talk about a "myopic view of things", a lack of "tolerance of others".
I'd go further than a "bit smug". I'd say condescending smug intolerance. Not something you would expect from the truly "enlightened".
