The Morning Rant![]() FUN TIMES AT THE NY TIMES (PART II) Here is a good observation posted in Monday's rant thread 145... There is no "crisis of trust in the media". You have proven yourselves to be unreliable and liars time and again. Consequently, I have moved on to other sources and will not come back to you, ever. Enjoy your senescence and death, which you richly deserve. I wish I had started off with this point. As someone else commented, this is like a con man bemoaning the fact that the marks have caught on to his scam. So is the solution to drop the scam and earn an honest living? Oh heavens, no! The solution is to come up with a better scam. So if the NY Times staff is having some sort of "struggle session" about this, it's a fake struggle session. There's really isn't anything to struggle about. The solution (better marketing) is baked in at the very beginning. There's no way they're going to start with the premise "we're a bunch of lazy liars" and build on that. They're not even capable of a milder version of this, perhaps by observing "you know, in our newsroom, nearly everyone is a very liberal or hard left Democrat, and we all pretty much think the same thing about every political topic we report on, and maybe this monoculture is creating problems with reaching some Americans who do not share our views. Is there anything we can do about this?" But even this will never occur to them. Actually, it did occur to one guy who worked for the NY Times. There used to be a position at the Times called "the public editor" and it was his or her job to deal with these sorts of issues, and in the early 2000s, the NY Times public editor was a guy named Daniel Okrent. Believe it or not, he actually raised the issue, namely, that, you know, maybe being hardcore lefty 100% of the time is perhaps alienating some potential readers. His objections were very mildly, very tepidly stated (he was, after all, very liberal himself), and you know what happened to him? They fired his ass! They just didn't want to hear it. They gave the job to someone else (I forget her name) who made it a point not to raise issues like that, and she got let go after awhile, after which they terminated the position itself. So there is no public editor at the NY Times any longer, and hasn't been for a number of years. It's like they reached down, grabbed that pesky little nuisance Jiminy Cricket, and squashed him. There's *no way* they would let anyone, not even an insider, caution them on their wall-to-wall anti-Trump jihad. And this is just a result of the left's near complete lack of capacity for self-reflection. Thomas Sowell wrote about this in his book Conflict of Visions, and this type of thinking he labelled as "unconstrained." Unconstrained individuals "always think they are brilliant and the rest of us are just too stoopid or blind to see their brilliance", as commenter 'pep' said. They consider themselves 'enlightened' and once you're enlightened, there's no need for improvement. This is actually a form of psychosis. Or actual psychosis, I'm not sure which. Leftists do not want to hear a contrary word. And this is why any kind of peaceful coexistence is not possible with them. Our very existence is an affront to them. Because even if it were possible for us to set up our own country, the "red" states of America, alongside the "blue" states of America, it wouldn't last. Because they hate us and want us dead. Doesn't matter where we are. No matter where we went, they'd still hate us and want us dead. If peaceful coexistence with the left was possible, we would have done it by now. That is, we wouldn't be in this state of constant warfare. "Laissez faire", "live and let live", "let us alone and we'll let you alone" are concepts that are completely anathema to them. With progressives you have two choices: it is either their way or the whole world burns. Channeling my inner Kyle Reese, I say this: Listen, and understand. The progressives are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
