Sulzberger is the problem at @nytimes.com
Been saying it since the bad headlines started after he took over. He’s like Trump: acts with total control.
He has destroyed the paper in so many ways.

It's worth reading the whole interview in full. It basically verifies that the NYT has spent the past decade-plus doubling down on top-down narratives for coverage, getting more intense over time.
Sulzberg personally picked & chose whom the news apparatus would target and whom it would kiss up to.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

I frequently criticize the Times on various fronts. With great size/power comes great responsibility. But it's always important to remember that really only they have the resources and capacity to put stuff like this together. These are like genome maps of the Trump corruption machine.

Pay attention. Believe that they are planning the worst.
For folks still struggling with the math:
There are ~345 million US citizens.
There are ~245 million white US citizens.
This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people.
Not "undocumented criminals."
Not even "all undocumented people."

This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.
