The New York Times is addicted to bothsidesing. This is the reflexive mode for New York Times coverage—because pretending you don’t know what’s going on makes you a real reporter, according to the Times handbook. To the New York Times, this is an insoluble dilemma. Strange as it may seem, the New York Times does not think telling you that is a newspaper’s job. ACTION ALERT: You can send a message to the New York Times at letters@nytimes.com or via Bluesky: @NYTimes.com.
