I consider myself well-educated and have no respect for either the Washington Post or the New York Times. I don't ever wholesale discount what they publish, but I also don't trust anything they put out, especially if it shows a left-leaning bias in any way. I also do not rely on them for news; I get my news from other sources I trust more.

From: https://nypost.com/2020/07/14/bari-weiss-on-why-she-left-the...

"What rules that remain at The Times are applied with extreme selectivity. If a person’s ideology is in keeping with the new orthodoxy, they and their work remain unscrutinized. Everyone else lives in fear of the digital thunderdome. Online venom is excused so long as it is directed at the proper targets.

Op-eds that would have easily been published just two years ago would now get an editor or a writer in serious trouble, if not fired. If a piece is perceived as likely to inspire backlash internally or on social media, the editor or writer avoids pitching it."

I should note that I probably disagree with Bari on most political issues, but she seems to have the intellectual honesty to notice corruption and also the courage to refuse to give into it.

You don't trust the NYT or Washington Post, but link to literal tabloids interviewing outrage grifters and right wing blogs? Surely cognitive dissonance only goes so far.
