The New York Times: All the print bias that fits

Like Nevada's Chicken Ranch (which doesn't sell chicken, wink wink), the New York Times is displaying flexibility that should be greatly appreciated by its customers. A recent Times front page headline“Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism” after Trump urged unity versus racism, caused the type of outrage we haven't seen since Toys ‘R Us stopped selling Che Guevara action figures.

The outcry was so dramatic from several of the Democrat presidential candidates, as well as members of Congress and others within the liberal elite, that the Times was forced to take action and return to instilling opinion even on the front page, even in front page headlines and even in their motto “All the print bias that fits”or something like that.

Damage control was accomplished with a headline change to “Assailing Hate but not Guns”, distribution of Trump voodoo dolls during the annual elephant dismemberment ritual and sacrificing a Times intern. These noble actions, however, were met with some skepticism, but all is, apparently, forgiven. Their front row table at the annual White House Correspondence Dinner remains secure, for now.

Do these sacrifices not require a virgin? Where at the Times might one possibly find such?

Alas, the late comrade Epstien had a stable of virgins at his disposal, but with his demise I'm sure all of those contracts will need to be renegotiated...in the meantime, most likely a freelance agent will step up.

All anyone needs to know about the New York Times is that Walter Duranty got a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on conditions in the Soviet Union in the late 1930s. When it was later found that Duranty's peice was sheer fiction, the Pulitzer Committee contacted the Times editorial staff to return Duranty's prize and they refused...

Naturally you refer to Duranty's writings that were compromised by The Reigning Capitalist Conspiracy Against Peace, Justice, And Workers' Rights. Duranty's earlier writings that extol The Soviet Experience remain The Definitive History of The Workers' Paradise known as The USSR!And a hint from Commissar Kindly Uncle Unkulturny: Best NOT to delve too deeply into "facts", especially as regards our USSR Workers' Paradise: As our next President, President Biden, has stated, "We prefer [The Peoples'] TRUTH over facts!" Too many FACTS presented in the current Progiverse is likely to earn you a late-night visit from you-know-who...

Indeed. Was it not Conscience-of-the-Nation-and-Eventual-President Ocasio-Cortez who reminded us that: "there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right"?

This Truth vs. Facts is Oberlin College Defense for running aGWONT:

In the aftermath of the jury's verdict, Krislov's successor as president, Carmen Ambar, along with college proxies and sympathetic journalists, have implied that—guilty pleas, allocutions, and an exhaustive six-week civil trial notwithstanding—there really was, after all, something to the claim that Gibson's had racially profiled Aladin and others. In interviews, Ambar has hit on a bit of bad philosophy to obfuscate this point. “You can have two different lived experiences, and both those things can be true,” she told the Wall Street Journal editorial board. One is tempted to say that the facile relativism of this—there is a Gibson truth and an Aladin truth; a townie truth and a college truth—reveals the sophistry behind Oberlin's self-destructive approach, but actually it's worse than that, if not philosophically at least morally. Nothing in the actions of Oberlin College or those of its dean and vice president suggests an understanding or empathy with the Gibson family's experience.
