I think WSJ and NY Times are still pretty good.

The Wall Street Journal is a right-wing Murdoch property, and while it may be more reliable than, say, Fox News, I don't think that's saying very much. The NY Times has been relentlessly bosiding Trumpism for years, to the point that an entire Twitter page, NY Times PitchBot, was created to ridicule the Times frequent bosiding, head-in-sand headlines. It still does have some good stuff from time to time, but imo both papers are mostly a shadow of what they used to be.

I read both every day and I don’t think your take holds up.
 


“The FBI forced out a senior official overseeing aviation shortly after Director Kash Patel grew outraged about revelations of his publicly-available jet logs indicating he’d flown to see his musician girlfriend perform, said three people familiar with the situation.

Steven Palmer, a 27-year veteran of the FBI, became the third head of the critical incident response group—which includes FBI pilots—to be fired or removed in Patel’s short regime, adding to a year filled with retributive terminations.

His exit was made official Friday, and a replacement to head the bureau’s crisis management operations including hostage rescue and bomb detection, has already been posted on the FBI’s website.

Patel was angered this week by social media posts and news stories calling attention to his use of an FBI jet that arrived in State College, Pennsylvania, where his girlfriend, country music artist Alexis Wilkins, sang the national anthem at a wrestling match, said the individuals, who spoke anonymously out of fear of retaliation.

Palmer was told he needed to immediately resign or be fired, which the individuals said was at least partially connected to Patel’s fury over the negative media cycle on his personal travel.

Palmer’s position included supervising the FBI’s aviation units, but Patel’s flight schedule was readily traceable through online tracking services and he reposted photos of himself with Wilkins at the event on his personal X account.

The people familiar with the matter said they were baffled as to why Patel might’ve blamed Palmer for the travel details. …”

I’d call this a fucking clown show, but as much as I dislike clowns, I would feel bad about being so offensive as to compare them to the Trump administration and its minions.

I think the news gathering of the WSJ is considerd solid, but the editorial decisions and opinion section have a well-known bias. NYT has been more critical of recent Democratic presidential candidates than trump, and more recently WaPo has skewed their coverage.

I am very thankful for the Atlantic (and the Guardian).
 
WSJ’s editorial page has been right-wing for decades.

The news reporting is solid.

The New York Times? I’ve questioned it in many ways since 2002-03 when it shilled for the Dubya Administration in its run-up to invading Iraq.

That said, NY Times is better than Jeff Bezos’s WAPO.

I still can’t figure out Bezos. He has fuck you money……actually, he’s way beyond having fuck you money…….and, still, he licks Trump’s ass.
