The NY Times has been publishing very questionable material again, some of it on Holocaust Memorial Day

So...a lot of us gave up on the NYT (and the rest of neoliberal media, politicians, punditry) a long time ago as they promoted the Iraq War, hired a climate change denier, regularly glorify inequality, imperialism, etc. Save yourself time and listen to critiques from the left.
A question I see a lot of people considering today: How many times does a publication have to normalize white supremacy, anti-immigrant bigotry, xenophobia, and even Nazism before the entire paper should simply be labeled a fascist publication?
On Ross Douthat's article on Stephen Miller in the New York Times:

New York Times: "In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, we wrote a puff piece about a sociopathic, xenophobic white supremacist who wants to get rid of all immigrants." [The actual article was titled: "On the necessity of Stphen Miller"]

NYT is now a white supremacist paper. The multiple Nazi puff pieces, constant pro-Trump PR, and praise for Miller on today of all days is not exceptional -- it's the guiding ideology of the paper. I don't think every writer there shares it, but it dominates coverage #Unsubscribe

"Over Thanksgiving, the Times published yet another soft profile on a Nazi, written by Richard Fausset. It caused such an uproar that their national editor, Mark Lacey, was forced to write a response."

"Fascism is made out of lies. The more lies that fascists tell, Arendt teaches us, the more that the reader’s conception of the damning and the not-damning is blurred."

Um why is the NYT linking out to this clearly fake news alt-right potentially Russia farm (maybe porn?) website to rationalize both-sidesism against @CecileRichards?

Not the first example of NYT inserting links to hate sites in the text of articles. They also directed their readers to a site selling swastika gear:

The piece had a link to a website selling swastika merchandise. This was not nazi "normalizing" as much as it was nazi advertising. And it's only the latest example from NYT.
