NYT et al is not mainstream, it's downstream. News breaks on X within minutes and then NYT writes an article about it, citing the upstream.
The whole premise of this article is wrong.
The whole premise of legacy corporate media is wrong. They exist to get clicks to get eyes to get advertisers to get paid. They get the facts wrong? Doesn't matter, there was never an incentive for truth.
We have better ways of telling stories now. Internet, self-publishing, etc. I think you already get it, and your point is about other people not getting it. So why do you still label NYT, "mainstream?" People want the mainstream; your language alone is reinforcing what you are protesting.
