difference being the bread and butter of wsj not being clickbait?

i wouldn't even be able to tell you why i'm so hung up on this,other than as a daily news reader, guess it never struck me wsj would be viewed as clickbait in the US, but there you go

The New York Times publishes anti-Black and antisemitic editorials on the regular.

It’s not a viable news source anymore.

"you guys" being americans?

wsj was serious at one point (and other anon is correct that they still do real journalism, as does nyt), but both papers you named have gone downhill, wsj because it's owned by rupert murdoch and nyt because they wanted more money

unless you mixed up nyt and ny post in which case: the ny post has always been a tabloid pretending to be news

I can’t be the only one still shocked that Rupert Murdoch is still alive. Evil never dies, huh?

yes, sorry, americans. i see what you mean, we don't get your ny post here, but we do the nyt. i thought the post and nytimes maybe were the same thing and there was an anon typo.

anyway, parthas mod's meltdown has been an interestimg learning experience for me, thanks for the insight!
