        It’s pretty pathetic how much the NYT shills for conservatives. They were big cheerleaders for the 2003 Iraq War. Conservatives whine about liberal media even though it doesn’t exist.

          It does. Depending upon how you use the term. If you use it in modern slang vernacular. Then no. There is no liberal media. But if you use the term as it’s historically been used. Nearly all media including conservative media are liberal media. Where liberal means economic liberalism / capitalism. Their problem with the liberal media is. The liberal media does whatever sells. It will happily sell the truth or a lie. But only whichever one sells most. And thus authoritarians cannot count on it to constantly push their lies and rhetoric.
