    Every time I read about a historical article from the NYT, they always seem to be on the wrong sid.

    Most recently, I read a book about the period just before the Mexican Revolution when the NYT was happy to side with and defend the brutal Diaz dictatorship that provided cheap natural resources for wealthy American investors. In another book about the comics scare during the 40s-50s, they had no problem publishing an article titled " Comics blamed in death" when covering a kid that hanged himself.

    There’s probably a bit of confirmation bias going on here, but it’s still concerning, nonetheless.
