How do you feel about the New York Times newspaper?

Question

To me it's not only biased, but helps terrorism in the world. They should become partners with Al Jazeera.

Answer 1

When I moved to New York, one of the first thing I did was to subscribe to have it delivery, because I always heard it was a great newspaper.
After 3 years having the paper delivery to my home, everyday plus weekends that tends to be very big, because its a collection of the week news,plus the New York Times Magazine and some others extra articles...I got enough!!! For 2 simples reasons.
The 1st one is has a tendency to try to influence on the reader's opinion. I observed this on the scientic and politicals articals I used to read.
The 2nd reason, is realated to articals on their Internationals News. How I am not from here, I used to read the news they use to wright about my country, and again, they always have the line of influnece on people's opinion (it's normal you bring your opinion when you write an artical, but impose your opinion, in particulary in a newspaper's artical, is something different than only express yourself or a diferent point of view).
About what they used to right about my country, always, I won't even say, sometimes, because the fact was they was always twisted the facts in order to mucht with their view, and not transfering to the reader the real idea about what was going on.
Someone who was reading that article would have a toltally wrong, I don't even say diefferent because in the place where the news was being reported, have or had diferent opinions about what was being discussed, but the New York Times used not even presents those diferent oipinios, only their wrong one.
Something that didn't mach with the reality.
An example, years ago, in my country, the govern was having trouble with the price of medications. The biggest pharmaceuticals company were forenger, therefore, the negociation was even harder, plus they had already implemented a work to combat Aids, that fortunetly, was bringging positive results. In order of the Aids program being continued and all the govern investements don't be lost, they needed the support of farmaceutical companies, which of course, they wasn't having even response to their request. To make a long story short, they decided to create medications that today is known by generic medications and its today largely used here in USA. The New York Times, when reported about that, was toltally unreal about what was being done, the reasons and the consequencies. Their news presentation's was to alarm about what was beind done, and get support against that by supporting the Pharmaceutical's Companies, seems they were advocating for those companies and not reporting a fact that was being on process on another country.
I learned that USA and Germany are between or if not are the top farmaceutical's companies in the world, and even thou, americans pay more for their medications than the most part of the world, and at that time, The New York Times, didn't mentioned that at all.
The story told above, is only one of manys examples I have to support the reason's why I don't like The New York Times paper anymore, I don't even read it to get movies criticals reveiw, I learned they write for their self-interset not for the public.

Answer 2

I have been a an avid reader for several years. However , in the past few years I noticed a pronounced bias in favor of liberal causes. Instead of giving objective articles filled with data the time journalists injected their opinions. The letdown came during this election process. The reporting was totally biased against Mr. Trump (not that I am a supporter of Mr Trump) I had enough I cancelled my subscription with the realization that I am not given data with which to form my own opinions. Rather getting opinion shoved down my throat. I particularly detested the fact that they endorsed Clinton. I don't want Newspapers to endorse anybody. By doing that they lose their objectivity and show their bias. I do like opinion articles. But those are written by opinionated people with bias. However a journalist should be like Chris Wallace of Fox News. We know he is a democrat but when he conducts his job he is objective and unbiased.

As long as the times will continue this biased reporting it will continue to lose subscribers. I get better reporting from my weekly The Week. I feel that i continue to get my news from the internet and get the detailed reporting from The week. I found that I don't miss the Times and its biased reporting. If they go bankrupt no harm would be incurred. news article.

Answer 3

I think most of the news media are bias against Mr. Trump. We do not have any good reporters anymore. All they they want is make a name for their own benefit. Reporter like David Brinkley, Chat Huntley and Walter Cronkite do not exist anymore. Also the new Media that you can respect does not exist either and that is to bad, because a lot of folk in this country take the news as the truth.I do not know why they are picking on Mr, Trump. I think Mr Trump would make a great President not like the present and the one that they are pusthiing to get elected (Hillary Clinton).the Democrats are the ones that mass up the Social Security Programs When Lyndon Johnson started with the great society. President Johnson and congress move the Social Security fund to the General Fund to use the money for everything they please. According to President Johnson their was money for hundreds of life times and look where we are now. When President
Roosevelt the S.S. Fund he no one was to touch it only the Person who put into.but the that congress at the time vote to use it. well that money is owe to us and they should pay it. Mr. Trump is the only one that can help us.

Answer 4

Having been born and raised in NYC, the Times was an institution. Even my friend's father worked as a typesetter. But to publish the address of Darren Wilson??????? That is not only unnecessary, but dangerous. How could you possibly think this was good reporting? This is a tragedy and frankly, I think you should be fined and the so-called reporter jailed. First Amendment right is one thing, placing a now determined innocent person in jeopardy is irresponsible. I'm canceling my subscription NOW. If something happens to this man or his family, I hope you are prosecuted to the full extent of the law!
