It isn't too late - tweet @nytimes to call out their "painting" as in fact THE TRUTH. Ok, they changed it, but we need to let them know we are seeing thru their misleading words! Takes ten seconds!
That’s the hilarious part - the people they seem desperate to attract don’t read much less think. That’s why they suckle at the Pablum teat of Fox News.
Not only that, but if Sulzberger helps Trump back into office I doubt he will be rewarded for it. Trump has no loyalty and rarely recognizes the accomplishments of anyone but himself.
That’s why I cancelled my subscription to NYT’s ages ago. They want to compete with the Post and other media platforms that only contains disinformation
Exactly my reason as well. When the Tampa Tribune went the way of the stagecoach, I wanted to continue to support print media and subscribed to the NYT thinking they were the best progressive source of truth. What an idiot I was.
I have done what I said I would NEVER do… went to the former St Pete Times - now Tampa Bay Times. The “never” is because they bought the Trib, swearing to keep it running and then promptly put it down. But at least their political bent is far from the right wing alternatives.
I have actually noticed those changes in headline a lot. A lot of people, me included, write to the Times about their stupid headlines. I think we also should write to the actual reporters, who don't write their own headlines and must be royally PISSED at having their work misrepresented.
In defense of the NYT, check out their two stories last week on the dangers of a trump win. In depth, well argued, and doing the job we all have to do: getting people to SEE those dangers.
Call them & tell them why you will no longer subscribe to the NYT’s until they stop favoring tRump over Biden in their articles. The calls are recorded so executives will know why you are canceling or not renewing a subscription
All because Sulzberger's got his teeny shorts in a bunch because OHJB refuses to sit for a one on one interview with the mighty NYT. If only OHJB would recognize teh Awesome that is the NYT, all would be well.
That’s becoming a truth for me. I’m pleased to be part of this tribe. We get and give truth, no bs, and facts wrapped in delicious humor. I led my husband to Jeff too. Now we read him out loud at breakfast. Laugh our heads off, and get our start on what’s going to come rolling at us that day.
My wife and I usually have our coffee finished before we get Jeff's email and that's probably a good thing. Never a dull moment and his laughs are much needed these days.
How this level of bizarreness along with all the other tons of babbling bullshit can be considered presidential or acceptable is beyond head scratching. The convicted felon's battery- powered tanks is perhaps something he discussed with his gazillionaire dirtbag sidekick Muskrat and you can bet that Gen. Kelly is laughing his ass off after hearing this latest brain leakage.
“But something has changed for me in the Trump era. I struggle more than I once did to wall off a person’s character from their politics when their politics is binding them to an unusually—and I would say undeniably—destructive person. The lies that MAGA world parrots are so manifestly untrue, and the Trump ethic is so manifestly cruel, that they are difficult to set aside.
If a person insists, despite the overwhelming evidence, that Trump was the target of an assassination plot hatched by Biden and carried out by the FBI, this is more than an intellectual failure; it is a moral failure, and a serious one at that. It’s only reasonable to conclude that such Trump supporters have not made a good-faith effort to understand what is really and truly happening. They are choosing to live within the lie, to invoke the words of the former Czech dissident and playwright Vaclav Havel.”
After more than 30 years of readership I cancelled my subscription to NYT too. I still have a WaPo online subscription but with eyebrow-raising editor changes there, I’ll see how long that lasts. I miss the days of Katherine Graham, Ben Bradley at WaPo and previous editors at NYT.
Jen Rubin is a diamond among dirt there, there are a few good columnists left, but they are outnumbered by wingers there these days, and with the Murdoch criminal they just hired it will get worse, if it ever gets better.
I hear you! I loved that paper and subscribed for decades, until Sally Buzbee started hiring ex-Murdoch tabloid writers, who were so far right it was ridiculous, they and she, were a poor fit for the centrist/ factual paper. Normalizing the crazed anti-abortion crowd was one of the last straws for me.
I canceled my long-standing WaPo subscription last week, when the news about Will Lewis shit-canning Sally Buzbee came to light.
Further confirmed yesterday by the most recent revelation from CNN about his new choice for EIC being involved in the hacking scandal up to his eyeballs.
I cancelled the Times a LONG time ago. I still get the Post. Every time I go to cancel my yearly subscription they beg me to stay for a ridiculously low annual subscription fee! If they ever up it though, I’ll quit that too. Thank heavens for Substack. Jeff’s posts are the most fun.
Maureen Dowd never missed an opportunity during the 2016 campaign to diss the email lady in her column. When I was still getting NYT until recently and Dowd would write about Trump I would often comment about her incessant negative columns about HRC abetting Trump’s win.
Armchair analyst here. "I met with pilots, like beautiful Tom Cruise but taller. Handsome, perfect people..." suggests at least two things:
1. djt has never been able to face his attraction to men -- completely forbidden in his family of origin -- so he has channeled those feelings, + his rage at being unable to be himself, into misogyny. It's the fault of *women*, not his parents (at whom he can never express his multifaceted rage) that he can't be with men -- so he belittles women, encroaches on their boundaries, assaults them, and treats them as *things* (not persons) in myriad other ways.
2. "Handsome, perfect people" = how he sort of sees himself (he *was* handsome when young, in a creepy Nazi Youth way) but also how he *doesn't* see himself (bc he's so filled with shame from trauma early in his life and bc of massive dysfunction always in his family or origin) but wants to see himself; his unconscious thinks, "If only I were a handsome, perfect person, my parents would love me; I would feel safe and secure; I would like myself; my life would have contentment and some joy."
As a rule, I don't believe in assigning pathological psychology theories to people but the behavior absolutely does suggest these abnormalities. We have a clear understanding of human development, how people become arrested in childhood emotional states. At the very minimum, narcissistic behavior must have been rewarded a great deal for this man. Whatever the complexities, we each have to face coping behaviors developed that don't fit in a rational adult world. Enabling the behavior is as sick as the acting out. I shudder to think what it would be like to caught up in a delusional hatred & fear of batteries, sharks, & people. It's very concerning that people are playing so fast & loose with mental illness, normalizing unhealthy behavior, & using this man as a figurehead for a great America. It's good to laugh at the absurdity, but also to go beyond mockery to no longer enable sick behavior. Whatever his damage, the man can't be allowed to hold hostage the attention of a nation any longer. He needs to be removed from polite society as responsible adults do with children acting out & people committing crimes. We don't keep unwell children in the room for entertainment & we don't need a scapegoat, either. The man is just a poster child for many societal ills that need addressing. Primarily deceit. When we accept lying as an acceptable means to an end, we are in trouble. Reality becomes a slippery slope. A return to sanity begins with honesty & I think you named elephants in the room well. We have to acknowledge unhealthy behavior for what it is & cease to enable it.
Agree. I don’t like Junior but part of me feels bad for him. From everything I’ve read, Donald treats him like Fred treated Donald. The difference is that Donald was a fuckwad from the get go..throwing rocks at a baby.
Same. Jr is a drug addicted idiot, but one story has stayed with me. Jr was in college waiting for Turd to come to his room and pick him up for a sports event. Jr's roommate was there and witnessed Turd slap Jr hard in his face. Turd said to Jr "put a suit on and come down to the car" before Turd stormed out
Guess it’s time to cancel my Washington Post subscription too. Canceled the NYT months ago. I now use the subscription money to subscribe to Substack writers.
SETI scientists have been trying to explain the Fermi Paradox for many decades, and now we have the answer: Soon after intelligence evolves in a species, it’s put to use by individual members of the species for personal gain, and to the detriment (and inevitably the destruction) of the species. Enjoy your life, as you’re lucky enough to be living in an all-to-brief window!
That's ridiculous. Everyone knows women are better drivers than men. I might have reservations if the pilot entered the plane wearing a turban or keffiya (sp?). Ya gotta draw the line somewhere.
He's the thirty year-old college drop-out who started going on campus (to perve on young girls,) and try to convert students to be selfish republicans. He gets funded in the millions, from wingnut welfare billionaires to do this. Also there is this.
"According to Kirk, the real victims of discrimination are clearly the Republican youth.
To demonstrate this, members of his group decided to wear diapers last year at a Kent State University protest to, you know, "own the libs" on the hot topic of college "safe spaces." However, as expected, the diaper protest just became a meme of Republicans wearing diapers."
Keep the Faith! June 27 debate is 10 days away. July 11 Judge Merchan sentencing on 34 felonies, election interference AND possible bonus Gag Order violations!
The "Sir" thing kills me. I'm so glad Jeff hits that every time. It's such a see-through god complex - it's pathetic. So when I read this piece, I totally lost it. Crying laughing.
"did he call you sir? were tears of gratitude running down his cheeks as he told you of the sheer hell of being forced to pull a battery on a cart in the middle of combat?"
Maybe I believe the one where someone asked him, "Sir, how do you put on your pants in the morning?" But it was probably followed by, "...Most put them on one leg at a time, not over their head. Sir."
Of course, tanks NEVER EVER run out of gas, diesel, jet fuel (seriously)!
I suppose Trump thinks it's more "heroic" if in the middle of combat, they have to hop out of their tank with a jerrycan of fuel so they can keep running the damned thing....
Sidenote: tanks and surface ships are largely anachronisms. Both are death traps in war given advances in missile technology. Think twice if your son and daughter dreams of being a tank commander or a sailor aboard a destroyer. End of sidenote.
And pls everyone, keep tweeting as much as you can @nyt and all other media that are using misleading words or u true stories! One more free way to support Joe & Kamela.
I don't X, but I will do what I can. Who could take a sweet little bird and beautiful blue and turn it into a Black X or white against black? Oh, right, we know who. I refuse to go near that app.
And yet “the captains of industry” that recently met with a blithering Trump may still vote for him because he promises to lower their tax rate from 21% to 20%. Business executives have a better economy and share prices are up under Biden but multi-million pay packages still aren’t enough. Shame on Tesla board for approving a multi-billion pay package for its dear leader. Why would anyone buy a Tesla now knowing that their money would eventually be paying for the multi-billion dollar pay check. Rant over.
oh look, the Times changed that headline. it now reads "Biden Campaign Ad Calls Attention to Trump’s Felon Status"
I wonder who shamed them into it (it wasn't me, evidently the headline was changed before I finished writing this post)
A lot of us caught that. I bet they got slammed from all directions.
It isn't too late - tweet @nytimes to call out their "painting" as in fact THE TRUTH. Ok, they changed it, but we need to let them know we are seeing thru their misleading words! Takes ten seconds!
I don’t use X - fuck Elon musk
I got off twitter about a year ago. It did me a lot of good nit seeing “Erin” Reed or “India” Willoughby anymore.
I don't tweet and I no longer read the NYT, but I stand with everyone who tells them off.
Probably not a lot of slamming from the MAGA-right side.
Which appears to be their new target audience.
That’s the hilarious part - the people they seem desperate to attract don’t read much less think. That’s why they suckle at the Pablum teat of Fox News.
Not only that, but if Sulzberger helps Trump back into office I doubt he will be rewarded for it. Trump has no loyalty and rarely recognizes the accomplishments of anyone but himself.
Hopefully, they got slammed by some very fine people on both sides.
Jeez, I'm getting to hate the NY TIMES for their pretense of "fairness" while they're selling the country out to that Fascist scum Trump.
That’s why I cancelled my subscription to NYT’s ages ago. They want to compete with the Post and other media platforms that only contains disinformation
Exactly my reason as well. When the Tampa Tribune went the way of the stagecoach, I wanted to continue to support print media and subscribed to the NYT thinking they were the best progressive source of truth. What an idiot I was.
To be fair to yourself, the NYT is not the same as it was even a few years ago.
True…and thanks. But I’m still at fault for keeping it so much longer than I should have.
Martha, I am tired of NYT too. What news source do you use now?
I see this paper mentioned more and more often and am offering a sample column from the opinion editor for your reading pleasure!
https://kansasreflector.com/2024/06/17/kansas-legislature-returns-to-make-the-rich-richer-and-leave-the-poor-to-die/?emci=41b9e1e0-262c-ef11-86d2-6045bdd9e096&emdi=fc5764f8-872c-ef11-86d2-6045bdd9e096&ceid=117727
I have done what I said I would NEVER do… went to the former St Pete Times - now Tampa Bay Times. The “never” is because they bought the Trib, swearing to keep it running and then promptly put it down. But at least their political bent is far from the right wing alternatives.
Same thing I did!
Vox Jeffri, vox dei.
I plan to carry this man to the bank.
Which bank? I'll buy shares. Or rob it :))
Lovely phrase…
Not making any theological claims about Jeff—I just see him as an outstanding member of the populi.
I have actually noticed those changes in headline a lot. A lot of people, me included, write to the Times about their stupid headlines. I think we also should write to the actual reporters, who don't write their own headlines and must be royally PISSED at having their work misrepresented.
In defense of the NYT, check out their two stories last week on the dangers of a trump win. In depth, well argued, and doing the job we all have to do: getting people to SEE those dangers.
I did not read either article —- my only question is were these articles buried inside the paper somewhere ?
Of course they were, they always put criticism above the fold, and praise, buried somewhere where no one would look for it.
Don't know as I read online and both showed up in my newsletter, at the top. Here they are:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/16/us/politics/trump-policy-list-2025.html
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/16/us/politics/trump-2025-democratic-resistance.html
The latter focuses on WHY the "resistance" is growing and as a result highlights what needs resisting.
Some very fine people on both sides of the fold.
Call them & tell them why you will no longer subscribe to the NYT’s until they stop favoring tRump over Biden in their articles. The calls are recorded so executives will know why you are canceling or not renewing a subscription
But we would certainly like to think that you have that much juice!
I choose to think so!
All because Sulzberger's got his teeny shorts in a bunch because OHJB refuses to sit for a one on one interview with the mighty NYT. If only OHJB would recognize teh Awesome that is the NYT, all would be well.
Wouldn't it?
Convicted Felon trump looks pale and sickly. When his mouth is in that puckered O-shape I think, "so that's what a bleached anus looks like."
His mouth makes me gag almost as much as the crap that cones out of it. This is my favorite analogy EVER!
😂
Oh ewwwww!
😆😆😆
No. Think "blow-up doll."
I am partial to "dog anus of a mouth."
😁👏👏🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂
How true!
Make great campaign signs at counter-rallies. Pithy. Throngs of people carrying BLEACHED ANUS signs.
PAINTS!?!? WTF! The NYT is getting worse. Trump is getting crazier by the day. But I am thrilled you brought back the ever-lengthening descriptor!
I hate everybody but you guys. 😂😂
That’s becoming a truth for me. I’m pleased to be part of this tribe. We get and give truth, no bs, and facts wrapped in delicious humor. I led my husband to Jeff too. Now we read him out loud at breakfast. Laugh our heads off, and get our start on what’s going to come rolling at us that day.
"I led my husband to Jeff too."
Were you consciously referencing leading to Jesus? Or did it just slip out?
See Kathleen Weber’s ‘Vox Jeffries, vox dei’ comment 😆
She flipped our Whigs.
I did as well!! He totally enjoys it.
Well done! I'm trying to convert mine.
My wife and I usually have our coffee finished before we get Jeff's email and that's probably a good thing. Never a dull moment and his laughs are much needed these days.

You’re so right. These idiots who can find a way to STILL support him make me crazy! Trump is insane and they must be too. 🙄
That's what's so frightening and how many of them who are out there that will be voting in Nov.
Or just really greedy to destroy the world, and reap the profits.
Check out The Atlantic’s piece on “motivated ignorance”: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/06/when-are-trump-supporters-complicit/678704/

Paywall ☹️
Just posted some text from The Atlantic.
Because republicans want entertainment and he brings it.
Plus all of those idiots who continue to spend millions to support his demented entertainment.
Brain dead love other brain dead. Remember, it’s a cult feature.
I don't think Republicans see any of it as entertainment. I think they see Dumpy as dead serious and worship him for it.
Carnival barker style.
They remind me of the common Romans, who loved the destructive violence of the Gladiators. As the Caesars robbed them blind.
Great analogy! And then Rome burned?
I think the bread and circuses went on for quite a while first.
Maybe we could organize small groups to go to the grocery store together. I know that would help me feel a bit more comfortable.
Hello William, I must have missed something. Why would we go grocery shopping in small groups? To more effectively fight off sharks?
No, to avoid getting electrocuted!
😂
😂🤣😂
I cancelled my NYT subscription. I suggest you do the same to let them know we won’t support their somewhat veiled partisan reporting.
After more than 30 years of readership I cancelled my subscription to NYT too. I still have a WaPo online subscription but with eyebrow-raising editor changes there, I’ll see how long that lasts. I miss the days of Katherine Graham, Ben Bradley at WaPo and previous editors at NYT.
Yes, I'm worried about WAPO. I subscribe because I enjoy some of their columnists like Jen Rubin. We shall see what happens in the next few months.
Jen Rubin is great! 👏👏👏
I also like Jen Rubin’s YouTube broadcasts.
Jen Rubin is a diamond among dirt there, there are a few good columnists left, but they are outnumbered by wingers there these days, and with the Murdoch criminal they just hired it will get worse, if it ever gets better.
Same here Sandy. I read about the editor change-doesn’t sound good.
I hear you! I loved that paper and subscribed for decades, until Sally Buzbee started hiring ex-Murdoch tabloid writers, who were so far right it was ridiculous, they and she, were a poor fit for the centrist/ factual paper. Normalizing the crazed anti-abortion crowd was one of the last straws for me.
I canceled my long-standing WaPo subscription last week, when the news about Will Lewis shit-canning Sally Buzbee came to light.
Further confirmed yesterday by the most recent revelation from CNN about his new choice for EIC being involved in the hacking scandal up to his eyeballs.
I canceled mine a few months ago. I don’t need to read a newspaper that omits the actual news.
🎯🎯🎯
I did the same, and they lured me back for 50% off. I'm going to keep doing it to see how low they will go, pardon the pun.
Same here Linda! Keep your enemies close so you know what lies they are telling!
King Louis IVX best saying. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. Maybe the reason for Versailles’ size?
I cancelled, then they offered $1/week. So I stay for now to spy on their garbage.
Nah, I want to HURT them too badly to even give them $1 a week.
Same here, all subscriptions count.
use mine to wrap mullet. Always place the mullet on trumps picture or headline.
Trump with a mullet. Can't look as ridiculous as whatever you call that he's got on his head.
$52 too much.
I cancelled the Times a LONG time ago. I still get the Post. Every time I go to cancel my yearly subscription they beg me to stay for a ridiculously low annual subscription fee! If they ever up it though, I’ll quit that too. Thank heavens for Substack. Jeff’s posts are the most fun.
Yaaay. Another NYT deserter. See my post further down this thread.
I did the same.
Thank you, no one should support their propaganda (s)hit pieces.
Since they went off on the email lady in 2016, people have had to paint the NYT as a newspaper.
Maureen Dowd never missed an opportunity during the 2016 campaign to diss the email lady in her column. When I was still getting NYT until recently and Dowd would write about Trump I would often comment about her incessant negative columns about HRC abetting Trump’s win.
I can't stand Maureen Dowd. All those calumns addressing Pres Obama as "Barry" made me angry.
I unfortunately work with a couple of Trump fanboys who gleefully repeat rightwing propaganda and call Obama "Barry". They are straight up racists.
Early on I liked her but it was short lived for exactly the reason you’re stating. She’s arrogant.
Isn't she the weirdo Reagan-fangirl? Or am I confusing her with the other misogynistic woman writer there?
Good one!!!
😆😆😆

Yes, no wonder jr is an addict.
I cannot stand Tom Cruise ! He's crazy and NOT HANDSOME ( In my never to be humble opinion) Of course
the Orange Turd has a liking for the lads, that's why he's so AGGRESSIVELY sexual to attractive women.
Thank you! ever since he ragged on Brooke Shields for having post-partum depression, I have disliked the little man. And "Top Gun" sucked!
Those are good points - never thought about it that way.
Barron's height must bug the #OrangeTurd. He's so freaking messed up. What does being tall & handsome have to do with a pilot's flying skills?!
Nothing.
Drumph's fixation on the joystick.
Guess it’s time to cancel my Washington Post subscription too. Canceled the NYT months ago. I now use the subscription money to subscribe to Substack writers.
I’m down to only UK Guardian and several Substacks and Podcasts.
Same here. WaPo was fine a few years ago, and I really looked forward to reading Jennifer Rubin, but it’s too red for me lately.
Same, the Guardian, New Republic, Propublica for the Supreme court exposes, and Substacks.
I'd trust Al Jazeera over the NYT.
Ditto.
Me too.
SETI scientists have been trying to explain the Fermi Paradox for many decades, and now we have the answer: Soon after intelligence evolves in a species, it’s put to use by individual members of the species for personal gain, and to the detriment (and inevitably the destruction) of the species. Enjoy your life, as you’re lucky enough to be living in an all-to-brief window!
Did; both.
I’m perfectly happy to have pilots just competent. Handsome is ok if they’re also able to fly a plane better than Donnie drives a golf cart.
Right. But what if they’re black pilots!? Who was the asshole who said he’d have to think twice if his pilot was black? 🙄
It was that brain-damaged asshole Charlie Kirk.
I thought Stephen Miller, but wrong jerkhole.
Wrong Nazi.
Right.
ah... that explains his swollen head/shrinking face, Brain damage.
There are jerkholes who won't get on a plane if the pilot is female.
Perfect! less assholes to deal with for the rest of us
20 years ago I read a fun sci Fi series by Susan somebody. She was a RL United Airlines Captain flying international routes.
Candace Owens made that statement. She piled on after Charlie Kirk of Turning Points USA made a derogatory comment about Black pilots.
That's ridiculous. Everyone knows women are better drivers than men. I might have reservations if the pilot entered the plane wearing a turban or keffiya (sp?). Ya gotta draw the line somewhere.
What if he were handsome muslim.
In trumpworld, there is no such thing.
Charlie Kirk
Got ya.
That would be Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk, rw podcaster or talk show guy. I wasn't familiar with him before Jeff reported in his racist pilots comments.
He's the thirty year-old college drop-out who started going on campus (to perve on young girls,) and try to convert students to be selfish republicans. He gets funded in the millions, from wingnut welfare billionaires to do this. Also there is this.
"According to Kirk, the real victims of discrimination are clearly the Republican youth.

Maybe if they were also very tall and beautiful?
Steven Miller, no doubt.
Oy, gevalt. Another week hath begunneth.
Verily, verily, forsooth.
Keep the Faith! June 27 debate is 10 days away. July 11 Judge Merchan sentencing on 34 felonies, election interference AND possible bonus Gag Order violations!
Jeff, sir, you are a master of description, she says as tears (of laughter) run down her face.
The "Sir" thing kills me. I'm so glad Jeff hits that every time. It's such a see-through god complex - it's pathetic. So when I read this piece, I totally lost it. Crying laughing.
"did he call you sir? were tears of gratitude running down his cheeks as he told you of the sheer hell of being forced to pull a battery on a cart in the middle of combat?"
The only thing I like better than Jeff’s use of “sir” is the “yours in service” thing. But that trial seems to be sidelined now.
Maybe I believe the one where someone asked him, "Sir, how do you put on your pants in the morning?" But it was probably followed by, "...Most put them on one leg at a time, not over their head. Sir."
😂😂😂😂
👏👏
Of course, tanks NEVER EVER run out of gas, diesel, jet fuel (seriously)!

Keep writing about Trump, Jeff. Your voice is being heard.
Seriously!!??? That’s amazing!
