Default Re: Why the Mainstream Media Really Sucks



Read the whole thread, etc.

As Serwer notes, the article itself does say that this was following procedure. Some people might say that this makes framing that helps dishonest GOP talking points in the headline and on their Twitter account irrelevant, and that complaining about that makes you the same as Trump, you want propaganda, etc.

I don't want a propaganda outlet though, I just think that headlines and Twitter aren't irrelevant, and that many people don't read the whole story - indeed, people don't generally have time to read every single news story, so even generally informed readers will only read the headline of some stories. But many people read much less than that. Which means the headline and what NYT says in associated tweets, etc. is just as important as the article.
