It's obvious you have not read the link either

There was practically nothing BUT facts in the link.

And your appeal to the authority of somebody's newspaper rankings is touching. So you tell me: what are these rankings based on? Circulation? Newspaper circulations are less and less impressive these days. (OMG! I did check ranker.com, and the site seems to be an online entertainment site, which ranks things such as music, sports, food based on how visitors to the site vote! That's a GREAT source you've got there for determining the intrinsic value of the New York Times - LOL!)

My view of the NYT (and all established media for that matter) is that, after awhile, a certain inertia takes over with its readership, and the readers just become comfortable with these sources. But despite this inertia, the Times (like most newspapers) has generally been declining in its readership - hence, Trumps phrase, "the failing New York Times". This decline is part the general turn away from print media which has occurred over the last couple of decades.

While "W" was President, I very much supported The New Yorker and considered myself almost a "partisan", if you will, of that publication. But somewhere in the middle of the Obama administration, their stories began to strike me as increasingly bizarre, and, later on, I began to realize that their point of view was not in favor of the Democratic Party I knew when I was growing up, but rather in favor of the corporate "Clintonite" wing of the party, with its readiness to support any new war or military action - not to mention all the articles on Russiagate, which were, for me, poorly written and dubiously sourced. I saw the same thing with the New York Times, and, these days I generally do NOT trust either of these publications, even though, I'm freely willing to admit, many of their stories are still reliable and responsible. It's just that too many of their stories have deteriorated into slipshod propaganda spinning IMHO.
