Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Dear NY Times,
It has been apparent for many, many years that you view your mission as something other than the accurate reporting of news. I presume that you see your real mission as making the world a better place. I also presume your chosen path toward making the world a better place is to advance the political success of the Democratic Party.
I suggest that you reconsider for two reasons. First, your chosen path has cost you your greatest asset — credibility. And, because of that loss, your ability to shape the political agenda is severely diminished. You continue to preach to the world, but only the choir is listening. You are not changing any minds. Second, your protege, the Democratic Party, is in the process of going socialist. If socialists succeed, our 250-year experiment ends in failure.
I propose a new path. Endeavor solely to report the truth. I promise this new path will enable you to single-handedly make the world a better place. I propose a truly historic week in the history of journalism. A week of shock therapy for your beloved Democrats, and a week that turns things around. A week of truth disclosure to be studied and discussed in journalism schools for centuries.
Monday’s headlines: Clinton Family Foundation was Corrupt. Hillary’s Private Email Server was Created Solely to Hide the Conflict of Interest by the Clinton Family Getting Rich from Foreign Contributions to Family Charity. Multiple Felonies Committed by Destruction of 30,000 Emails.
Tuesday’s headlines: RussiaGate was a Hoax. Christopher Steele Made it All Up. Hillary’s Campaign Paid Him to Do It. Obama’s FBI Opened Formal Investigation Knowing There Was No Evidence.
Wednesday’s headlines: Hunter’s Laptop was Real, and FBI Knew It. Files Contained Compelling Evidence that Ukraine and Communist-Party-Connected Chinese Companies Paid Hunter Millions for Little or No Work.
Thursday’s headlines: Trump Target of Sham Prosecutions. Letitia James Claimed Normal Business Practices Illegal Because Trump Business Did Them. Alvin Bragg Invented a Phony Crime in Stormy Daniel Payoff Case. Biden DOJ Hired Legal Hitman to Go After Trump For Whatever He Could Find.
Friday’s headlines: Iran Deserves It. Forty-Seven Years of War Against the US. Regime Change Campaign Long Overdue. An Iranian Nuke Would Be Catastrophic. Trump Praised for Keeping US Casualties Historically Low.
Saturday’s headlines: Socialism Sucks. 100 Year Legacy of Murder, Oppression, and Poverty. Capitalism Praised as World’s Best Poverty Reducer.
Sunday’s headlines. Nation Rocked by New New York Times. ‘A Complete Game Changer,’ Say Experts. Publisher Declares: We are Not Pro-Republican or Anti-Democrat. We are Pro Truth. Nothing More, Nothing Less.
Don’t listen to those who say you would be publishing old news. To Times readers, all the above is indeed news. They have never heard it before.
Oh, what a week it could be. It is a pity that a week is only seven days. No space for climate change, no space for voter ID and ballot harvesting, the Gaza non-genocide, and so, so, so much more.

The Times has a special physical shredder for those kinds of letters. If you e-mail it, they run it through a digital shredder.

Re: “Second, your protege, the Democratic Party, is in the process of going socialist. If socialists succeed, our 250 year experiment ends in failure.”
You say this as if the NYT sees that as a bad thing. This is the same paper that whitewashed the starvation of 2 million Ukranians by Communist Russia … and won a Pulitzer for their lies that they never gave back.

Considering history, the NY Times has been on the wrong side of it since at least 1930. Why should they change now?
