You, a supporter of the President? Well, you did cite to him for your "failing" accusation, did you not? And you did use his "deep state" characterization of its contents, did you not? If you sound like one of his supporters ...
I read your article - your conclusions are all wrong! One article, a couple of Russian journalists are accusing the NYT of "stealing major scoops" - that's not the same as "plagiarism", is it? So, you've obviously added your own bias to this story.
Then you accused it of being "NOT a fine, respectable paper, and hasn't been for decades" without any historical proof to back up your "decades" claim or any proof of not being a "fine, respectable paper" other than your single article, an inquiry which resulted in my citation to but one rating of its respectability and a challenge to you to cite one rating showing your accusation - which you have failed to do, because you can't. The NYT, to which I do not subscribe, is a fine, respectable newspaper that you just don't like, more likely than not because it doesn't fit your particular point of view. Now, when Bob Dylan got sued for recording "Dignity", did that make him NOT respectable despite all that he had previously (and since then) written and recorded? Of course not. And you called it a "practice" when there is no evidence that in the NYT's history it has happened over and over again - another example of your bias.
112 Pulitzers - how many Pulitzers has your chosen news source received? The fact is a simple google search reveals numerous citations to the NYT's respectability. You just didn't want to accept that, so you've chosen to denigrate a renown newspaper. When you make comments like these, you are the one that is failing and show your own lack of intelligence.
