You genuinely believe that most of what these papers publish is false?

Here’s the first 6 headlines from the NYT “Today’s Paper” page:

> Promised Aid to Gaza Is Stalled by Wrangling, as Conditions Worsen

> Biden Requests $105 Billion Aid Package for Israel, Ukraine and Other Crises

> Passion for Palestinian Cause Had Faded, but Violence in Gaza Reignited It

> Republicans Vote Out Jordan as Speaker Nominee, Continuing Chaos in House

> U.S. Deficit, Pegged at $1.7 Trillion, Effectively Doubled in 2023

> Kenneth Chesebro, a Trump-Aligned Lawyer, Pleads Guilty in Georgia

How many of these headlines are you willing to bet are factually incorrect?


"Pigeon Shits on Windshield, as Deer Crossing, an Old Junkie Says" - journalism in 2023.


…so the problem is that they’re publishing stuff of no consequence? Or that they’re things that are too obvious? Not that they’re inaccurate?

These headlines are all things that happened, that they’re reporting on. You know, news.
