is the new york times a liberal or conservative paper

The New York Times is often perceived as a liberal or progressive newspaper, but its political stance is more complex and nuanced. Here’s a breakdown:

Historical context: The Times was founded as a conservative newspaper in 1851, and it maintained a conservative editorial stance until the early 20th century. However, during the 1960s and 1970s, the paper began to shift towards a more liberal perspective, reflecting the changing values and attitudes of the time.
Editorial board: The New York Times’s editorial board has historically been liberal, but not uniformly so. While it has supported progressive causes, such as women’s suffrage, civil rights, and environmental protection, it has also endorsed conservative candidates and policies on occasion.
Columnists and opinion writers: The Times features a range of opinion writers and columnists, including liberal voices like Paul Krugman, Maureen Dowd, and Charles Blow, as well as conservative voices like Bret Stephens and David Brooks. This diversity of opinion reflects the paper’s commitment to presenting a range of perspectives.
Coverage and reporting: The Times is known for its in-depth reporting and investigative journalism, which often focuses on issues like government corruption, corporate malfeasance, and social justice. While this coverage can be seen as liberal-leaning, it is also driven by a commitment to fact-based reporting and a desire to hold those in power accountable.
Subscriber demographics: According to Vox, The New York Times’s subscribers skew “older, richer, whiter, and more liberal” than the general population of the United States. This may contribute to the perception that the paper is liberal, but it’s essential to note that the paper’s editorial stance is not solely determined by its subscriber demographics.

In conclusion, while The New York Times has a liberal bent, it is not a uniformly liberal or conservative paper. Its editorial stance is shaped by a complex interplay of historical context, editorial board perspectives, and the diverse range of voices and opinions presented in its pages. ----Brave Search

In fucking fantasy-land maybe.

New York Times literally sat on a story about illegal wiretapping on US citizens by the NSA for over a year at the behest of the Bush administration.

I would think someone with the username NoSuchAgency might be familiar with that…

The main people who the NYT are aimed at are literally rich New Yorkers with an extra house in the Hamptons. You can look at their Leisure section and it becomes ridiculously clear they’re catering to an elite set and not regular people.

Sorry, but the rich elite generally are way more conservative than your average person, even if they claim liberalism.

EDIT: Let’s not forget how absolutely HYPED the NYT was for THE WAR ON TERROR.

The AJC is own by Cox Enterprises. If you want to know who they donate to and think you’ll be surprised, you won’t.

Ss the atlanta journal-constitution a liberal newspaper

According to the search results, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is considered to be slightly Left-Center Biased based on editorial positions that lightly skew liberal. Additionally, it is rated as High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record.

Only if by “liberal” you mean what it means everywhere else in the U.S.

And you might as well link to Media Bias Fact Check if you’re going to paste from it. Which would be the company that’s become very pro-Israel as of late. Not exactly a position for “liberals” in America, as your sort likes to call everyone to the left of Trump.

That wasn’t pasted from Media Bias Fact Check. I got it by asking Brave search and it listed several websites, MBFC not being one of them

They may be owned by Cox Enterprises but “While the newspaper is owned by a private company, its news decisions are made by the journalists in the AJC’s newsroom.” https://www.ajc.com/about-us/who-we-are/DT6HW7HAYVFG7N2N6TIIHHTTVE/

And you know that’s true because they told you it’s true and why would they say otherwise unless their parent company had some sort of political agenda? But looking at those donations, can we truly say they have a political agenda? They seem like they’re solid centrists to me what with all those donations to Republicans and their groups.

They donated to Democrats as well, but either way, I haven’t seen any proof of them controlling the articles or opinions in the paper
