they’re all crooks

ty for highlighting this. Had not heard about pogo, but now I follow, so that's a tiny step.

And they are in no danger of going out of business by rightfully crediting you and others! It's such horseshit. It is based on a culture of petty theft that comes DIRECTLY from the circ wars between Pulitzer and Hearst. It is an extremely dumb practice in the Internet age. And THEY CAN AFFORD IT.

In my experience, the Times is loath to give credit to other journos, unless it's another behemoth MSM outfit.

This sense of entitlement ofc infects other aspects of the nyt coverage. It feels entitled, for example, to cover trans ppl, often negatively, even as it has had a yearslong de facto ban on assigning or hiring trans journalists to cover trans issues

I hate the way the NYT just decided never to cite their sources, like they are the alpha and Omega of journalism

Sure. There are journalists who are so thirsty to be fancy (or desperate for any job) that they’ll complain for years about being dicked over by NYT and then leap at the chance to work there. But not everyone. And I think that number of refusers grows as NYT’s misbehavior does.
