reviving the ugly past at the new york times..."I don't care a straw for your newspaper articles, my constituents don't know how to read, but they can't help seeing them damned pictures." -- Boss Tweed
In 1868, Tweed became grand sachem (leader) of Tammany Hall and was also elected to the New York State Senate, and in 1870 he and his cronies took control of the city treasury when they passed a new city charter that named them as the board of audit. In full force now, the Tweed ring began to financially drain the city of New York through faked leases, false vouchers, extravagantly padded bills and various other schemes set up and controlled by the ring.
Born in New York City in 1823, Boss Tweed was a city alderman by the time he was 28 years old. Elected to other offices, he cemented his position of power in the city’s Democratic Party and thereafter filled important positions with people friendly to his concerns. Once he and his cronies had control of the city government, corruption became shockingly widespread until his eventual arrest in 1873.

chicken afraid of the jewish fox...
The New York Times is probably the best newspaper in the United States, if not the entire world, but they have never respected editorial cartoons or cartoonists. While they have reprinted syndicated cartoons (I know this because they’ve reprinted mine), they have never employed a staff cartoonist, and for this, they are quite proud.
However, their international edition has made use of them for years, using syndicated cartoons and hiring cartoonist Patrick Chappatte. Now, after running a cartoon a month and a half ago that drew condemnation for antiSemitism, the Times has decided to stop running political cartoons entirely.
The Times would never ditch opinion columns over one offending columnist, which proves their disrespect for cartoons.
This news gained widespread attention after Chappatte, who did NOT draw the offending cartoon, published a blog post about the Times’ decision. Previously, the Times dropped using syndicated cartoons after the controversy and scolded the editor who approved it. Now, all cartoons have to go from every edition.

To say that the NooYaurketymezzz is the best paper in the world shows how poor we are serviced by the print media on this planet... The only thing good about the NYT is that I think it was the only media that apologised for its coverage of the Iraq war... Apart from this, The NYT tows the line of the establishment that feed both the Republican government and its lackeys, the Democrats.
At this level, the New York Post is more accurate, though terribly slanted towards the ultra-rightwing hawks of the Republicans. Also, one has to admire "the images" (front covers) of the NYP (New York Post) designed to illustrate a point that a 20,000 words essay could not.
Trump isn't the flavour of the month at the NYT, even for the usually republican journos such as David Brook (Opinion: David Brooks. Marianne Williamson Knows How to Beat Trump. We need an uprising of decency). Tough titties. The only Democrat that could beat Trump at the 2020 elections is Pete, because he is bland and restrained despite a colourful active life — and he smiles alla Jack Kennedy...
changing sox at the NYT...
The New York Times was forced to alter its front page headline after it was savaged online by high-profile Democrats who didn't like how the paper framed President Donald Trump's speech about mass shootings.
The US newspaper got into trouble after print editor Tom Jolly shared a preview of Tuesday's front page. The headline on the story about the aftermath of the deadly mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio was 'Trump urges unity vs. racism.' Its sub-headline read as 'Condemns 'slaughters,' but says little of gun control.'
In a tweet, Trump had called for "strong background checks" on gun-owners but did not raise this point in a follow-up speech, focusing on other measures to prevent mass shootings instead.

Readers urge The Times to rethink its decision to eliminate political cartoons from its global edition.
The Times stopped running syndicated political cartoons in April, after one with anti-Semitic imagery was printed in the Opinion section of the international edition.
June 11, 2019Matt Furie, the creator of Pepe, sued to stop its use by the far-right website. Infowars agreed on Monday, paying a $15,000 settlement.

heartless, headless NYT...
At this stage, we're not going to forget nor forgive the New York Times for the dismissal of its international cartoonists... Here are cartoons collected around the world by Chapatte about this unfortunate heartless stupid thing to do by the NYT:
American resilience:
Tornadoes: to the cellar!
Blizzards: stay at home!
Hurricanes: a kiss from Eva!
Shitstorms: sack all the cartoonists!
