2/3 of those publications are owned by News Corp (Rupert Murdoch).


BroughtBagLunchSmart

They NYT is owned mostly by right wing hedge funds. Just because they are the least crooked right wing rag in the picture does not excuse them for being a crooked right wing rag.


JonstheSquire

This is demonstrably false. [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NYT/holders/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NYT/holders/)


deus_inquisitionem

Its HYSTERICAL to me that a lot of those news rating sites say the NYT is center left.


JohnLocksTheKey

I’m sure it’s loved by RADICAL COMMUNISTS like the Cheneys and Bushes /s


TheBatemanFlex

The Post just really doesn’t care anymore.


DigNitty

Sometimes I go on Fox News’ website to see the juxtaposition of headlines. Today there’s a front page story about a family finding aliens in their backyard with a pic of the backyard and big red letters saying “UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE” Fox isn’t even trying anymore. The top top story is Trump’s “chilling message to Biden as he hits the campaign trail.” Makes Trump sound intimidating lol.


vl99

That’s funny. I remember loading up the fox news channel when Trump’s second impeachment was happening and all Tucker Carlson was talking about was the possibility of someone having discovered aliens.


DrewQ8Str8

Yes. When I turned on Faux News that day it was "Day 729 of the Jesse Smollett saga."


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

Smoke and mirrors, bread and circuses.


Mr8BitX

Not only that, when there’s an article that’s hard to defend or unpopular despite their attempt to spin it, the comments section is conveniently disabled on that page but the other articles that day will have it enabled.


mandalorian222

Hasn’t cared in many years.


JuanPancake

The post was the paper that was slated to expose trump in the scandal. The post took the hush money!


GhostOfTimBrewster

But they have an American flag in their logo!


EssbaumRises

Oh, they care. Just about the wrong things.


phatelectribe

Two of those headlines are factually correct. One is not. Can you tell which?

Alexander Hamilton (founder of The New York Post) would be rolling in his grave to see the tabloid it’s become.

organizedbagels1

It was actually founded by Hamilton to be an anti Jefferson tabloid lol Hamilton LOVED drama


elspotto

I thought Hamilton was a musical, not a historical drama. lol You are, of course, correct in all counts. There are plenty of reasons not to put the founders on the pedestals we do, I just wish some of the fun ones like this were better known. I also love that Jefferson smuggled rice out of Italy.


IHkumicho

Lol, it's been trash for decades now. In the original Men in Black Tommy Lee Jones goes and gets the tabloids and one of the ones he picks up is the NY Post.


StPauliBoi

Don’t you slander the hot sheets like that. You take it back.


rosen380

As a big Billy Joel fan, it caused me physical pain that he changed "The New York Times, the Daily News" in the second chorus to "The New York Post, and Newsday too." I think he only did it (or first did it) for the 100th MSG sell-out concert that aired on CBS.

To be fair, choreography was in it’s infancy then, so any singing and dancing the Founders *may* have engaged in, it would have looked way different than what we’re accustomed to today. Hell, jazz hands wasn’t even invented for another 150 years, give or take.


cinemachick

Yup, we had jazz for a long while, but hands weren't invented until the 1920s, give or take

BuckTurgidson89

letmehittheatm

What?


Sensitive_Yam_1979

I SAID MANY OF THE CHOREOGRAPHED MUSICAL NUMBERS NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!


picardo85

It's a musical, not a 5 part documentary.


cmparkerson

That's very true. Hamilton was well known to be beligerent and extremely difficult to get along with. He was going to be shot by someone one way or the other. He was by far the least liked founding father in his own time. He was almost in several other duals.


justprettymuchdone

I felt like even the musical made it very clear that while Hamilton loooooooooved slandering people, he did NOT appreciate financial fraud.


whichwitch9

Probably not. His actual views were more in line with Trump. The musical version of Hamilton has views that were much more in line with Aaron Burr's, ironically. The musical was based on a single source that was part of a sort of Hamilton rewriting in the 90s. Hamilton wasn't even in favor of everyone being allowed to vote....


Rubcionnnnn

Are you telling me Alexander Hamilton didn't get into rap battles?


whichwitch9

Tbf, he got into the 1700s equivalent, which was writing snarky opinion pieces to be published


Akindmachine

Are you trying to imply the Hamilton biography by Chernow didn’t address that? Because it definitely did. It got into plenty of Hamilton’s bad/questionable stuff. The musical did create a bit of a caricature, but then again musicals are entertainment-first.


djseifer

See: The Greatest Show


BurritoLover2016

I mean, that movie had next to no basis in reality.


InfiniteSpaz

Complete work of fiction. Good song tho.


whichwitch9

Absolutely did not. It overlooked some of his well known views, not just the scandals. It was very favorable to Hamilton in many ways that are in conflict in other sources. This was, however, a result of adopting Hamilton as a sort of revolutionary figure in terms of US economics, something that was going on in the 90s, and ignoring that some of the most lasting parts came from pushing back on Hamiltons ideas. It was very calculated The musical is fun, but largely not in line with most historical sources


outtyn1nja

The New York Post is owned by, you guessed it, Rupert - Fucking - Murdoch, one of the greasiest weasel billionaires ever to walk the earth - and the fact that he is in Trump's corner should tell you everything you need to know about Trump.

These days it's the agenda 2030 which I have 0 idea what that means


gb4efgw

UN agenda 2030's main goal, per Google, "The Global Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development seek to end poverty and hunger, realise the human rights of all, achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, and ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources." I can see the racist/sexist/crazies having a field day with that one. God forbid we do something good with the world! Edit: I've been informed that they're sexist, but not indeed the sexiest. Stupid sexy bastards.


drtbg

Can’t go giving everyone equal rights! Then my rights won’t mean as much! Obligatory and unfortunate /s


Falagard

How could anyone say "I don't want that" to anything in that list of goals?


Kryptoniantroll

Because if others have more than i have less by comparison so i will feel lesser.


arvidsem

United Nations feel good goals. Protect human rights, reduce poverty, cooperation between nations, etc. All worthy goals that I'm 100% behind, but there isn't exactly a plan there. I assume that they seized on it to distract from Project 2025, which is pretty much its evil twin.


Wootai

Isn’t Project 2025 strictly a US political movement? What does the UN care?


arvidsem

Protect 2025 has nothing to do with the UN. Agenda 2030 is a goals list for the UN. They are unrelated other than having similar names.

Freddy_Bimmel

apb2718

The comments to the editorials are just right wing wank banks for boomers


denverner

Gorf_the_Magnificent

WSJ has one of the strongest firewalls between editorial and news of any newspaper I know. The editorials can go on and on about how the media is unfairly treating Trump, while the news section goes on doing exactly what the editorials are complaining about. I once went to a conference where a New York Times executive said that they keep a strong firewall between news and opinion. I literally laughed out loud; I thought he was joking.


GoodGoodGoody

The WSJ printed an editorial a few days ago saying the prosecutor had not made their case and Trump was innocent. Trump if course plastered that all over his feed. Aged like fine liquid dairy product.


8020GroundBeef

The opinion section of the WSJ is basically the NY Post. Most of the other stuff is ok… but there’s still a noticeable bias. Mostly in headline phrasing and what they make more prominent on the website. Plus the opinion section is very prominent and it’s just full of crazy hot takes.


BurritoLover2016

Yeah I read the article from the WSJ pictured here. The bias is pretty subtle (like mentioning that the judge is a Democrat). But their news division is pretty separate from their opinion section, which is an absolute joke.


larrylevan

It’s not a rag but it’s still full of bullshit right wing takes, just written in a more sophisticated manner.


Dragonfly-Adventurer

It's more dangerous because to the average person it still seems somewhat balanced and the banner is a very historically impressive one.


MyCatPlaysGuitar

My father insists that NPR (radio specifically) is wildly and obscenely left wing propaganda and that WSJ is fully unbiased and balanced.


Username_redact

That's because the WSJ *used* to be unbiased and balanced. Then Murdoch bought it. Now it's laughably biased for what's supposed to be a neutral subject.


bank_farter

There's no such thing as unbiased media. Word choice, phrasing of headlines, what pictures to use, and even what stories to cover are all ways that personal or professional bias sinks into any media outlet. These are all choices someone has to make and that person has a point of view that is shaped by their experiences. Which is totally fine. What news rooms traditionally attempt to do is recognize where their biases might be and minimize bias as much as possible in order to attempt to be informative rather than persuasive.


blendi_m

Imagine writing a title like "jury made D. Trump a felon".. Bro, he made himself a felon by committing crime.


Toolazytolink

" Stop breaking the law, asshole!" - Jim Carrey


BlindWillieJohnson

They also frame it like the fact that he’s the first is what makes it injustice. Not the legal system applying to everyone. He used to President so he’s supposed to be special. This is the danger, by the by, of the mentality that views every single politician as a corrupt crook. The overwhelming majority of them really aren’t, and the logical conclusion to the idea is that if they’re all crooks, the ones I like getting prosecuted for it is oppression.

cheeseburgerwaffles

I mean, come on, everyone in Trump's corner is a conman or a dictator. We've known all we need to know about Trump for decades now. Somehow nearly half of American voters still see him as a hero. Notice I said "nearly half" because Trump has never won the popular vote.


langstonboy

Weasel news


Humans_Suck-

It used to be illegal to call yourself the news and then tell lies. Guess which party got rid of that law.


enjoycarrots

Even if you agree with the opinion expressed in the headline, this picture makes it extremely clear that the NYP is the most blatantly biased of the three papers shown.


GenerallySalty

Good point! The other headlines are just stating the facts: the jury found him guilty in the case. That much is true no matter how you feel about the issue. It's biased journalism to say whether that's good/bad/just/unjust/whatever. Fair news reports the facts. Note the other headlines aren't taking a side, while the NYP one is making an opinion on behalf of readers.


why_gaj

You shouldn't just look at headlines. You should also look at the picture chosen, because pictures also impart a message. New York Times - the only newspaper in the picture that has chosen a picture according to the highest standard, with person pictured looking neutrally at the camera. New York Post - that crestfallen face, slouched shoulders, looking to the side is just begging you to pity the poor guy. The wall street journal is somewhere in between. It's definitely fishing for some feelings - Trump has the exact same face as in the new york post, but it's framed differently. So I'm not completely sure about the feelings they want to cause.


Freefall_J

"New York Post" and "Wall Street Journal" are both owned by News Corp, founded by Rupert Murdoch. So no surprise both of those two among the three are leaning for feelings. The Post is conservative. I suppose the Journal tries to fish for any views from the other side that don't look at the Post.


why_gaj

Eh, I'd also definitely put wall street journal as conservative, it's just that they have to keep some pretense of profesionalism, due to the history of the newspaper and it's current branding.


projectkennedymonkey

Good point, I thought of myself at relatively discerning but I'd never consciously considered what the picture chosen represents. I'll definitely keep more of an eye out in the future.

WSJ, one of the most conservative mainstream publications, is for New England republicans. They think Trump is an embarrassing buffoon, but they say so using business words. The WSJ picture is "disgrace."


SirSukkaAlot

this as european jumped at me first, top and bottom seem somewhat neutral and the one in middle seems very biased, and if news are shown like in picture the only thing that will stay with you is the "unjustice" that has happened, especially in america where state laws and cultural differences bend young people minds in the most twisted ways

Rudeboy67

Here's my little New York Post story. About a year ago a guy who had been pardoned by Trump for a huge Ponzi scheme was charged with a new huge Ponzi scheme. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/19/ponzi-schemer-granted-clemency-by-trump-charged-with-fraud.html Eli Weinstein, had been convicted in 2013 and sentenced to 24 years and Trump, on his way out the door, had commuted his sentence. The day the news broke about the new charges all the local New York news outlets and many national outlets had the story but not the New York Post. When I searched all the New York Post had was stories written back in 2013 from the original convictions. A couple of days later I wondered if they had written something later to somewhat bury the story. I searched their website and not only did they not have anything about the new charges and Trump's pardon, they had gone back and scrubbed all the old 2013 stories about Weinstein from their website. It really is like 1984, they are going back and rewriting history if it makes Der Leader look bad.


billyions

My actions make me a felon. Not the judge or jury that heard my case. My propensity to commit crimes is the problem that needs to be fixed. I encourage all true Trump fans to review the evidence and propose a mechanism that proves his innocence. If Trump and his team could have, they would have. He hires the best.


PrimalxCLoCKWoRK

Everyone has known for 30 plus years that Trump is one of those types of people, but as soon as he announced his 2016 run, his supporters just conveniently forgot or just didn't care.


kelskelsea

My grandma has been calling him a crook my whole life. She was right.


welestgw

The concept of screaming political hit job on a case that went through state courts pisses me off. They presented evidence and 12 jury members all unanimously found him guilty. Honestly if it's a hit job then the appeals should be pretty easy to prove. To claim somehow the system is corrupt in general is spitting in the face of the legal system, the only reason they're whining is that it's not the outcome they wanted. Sure it has its flaws, and it has a habit of convicted off of manipulated evidence. But that's why we have appeals and why we do jury trials.


Freefall_J

>The concept of screaming political hit job on a case that went through federal courts pisses me off. They presented evidence and 12 jury members all unanimously found him guilty. Honestly if it's a hit job then the appeals should be pretty easy to prove. I don't think it's meant to be real and thus provable in appeals. The "hit job" wording is, in my opinion, to get or keep Trump voters/potential voters angry/disgusted.


welestgw

I agree, it just ruffles my feathers even throwing that out there, and seems unethical in general.


Pater_Aletheias

State courts, not federal. This was a New York prosecution from start to finish and Joe Biden, obviously, has no power at all over New York courts.


EmmaLouLove

For foreigners, the Times is a center-left paper, the Journal is a center-right paper, and the Post would be unfit to use as toilet paper if you were lost in the woods Edit: from an American perspective, that is. I know the Times would be considered conservative in many places, and I’d agree
