They also do a massive amount of credible, in-depth reporting and while they deserve criticism where it is due, I can't believe the eagerness that some display to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

It's not a matter of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, it's the fundamental fact that trust takes a lifetime to build and a moment to lose.

  • A baby takes nine months to make and a moment to throw out a window. Shall we keep on with analogies?

    I disagree it takes "a moment" for a large, multiperson organization to lose all credibility due to occasional editorial lapses.

    Or maybe it's because I think trust in reputable organizations is the only thing binding society together from crumbling into an AI social media abyss, that I refuse to declare NYTs credibility dead.

    Heck, I still support the WSJ news section even though they're owned by an enabler of the current administration.
