It's been about a year since the last deal was shared so thought I'd highlight that it was still around when I purchased just now.

NYT is obviously not everyone's cup of tea - that's fair. But I like it and think they do a pretty good job across a range of issues. You can check out Mediabiasfactcheck if you want to take a look at their bias and credibility. Shout out to pretz in a previous deal for highlighting the resource.

The Basic Digital Subscription does not include recipes or crosswords. Just the online edition and through their app. Price reverts after the first year so make sure to cancel before then.

        Maybe I’m a victim of reading the whole article and not just the headline, but the article says the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal were each paid millions and included a ‘China Watch’ supplement that could be reasonably construed to be propaganda because it was produced by a Chinese owned news organization, but the article only says the NYT was paid $50,000 for advertising, not the millions the millions the others got, and advertising is basically all propaganda.

        So if anything it seems to make me trust headlines even less…. Also trust less anyone whose conclusion is that they got caught publishing CCP propaganda.

          $50,000 too much. There's a difference between "Chinese" owned and CCP backed influenced.

          and advertising is basically all propaganda.

          I'd guess someone is sympathetic to the CCP when they attempt to suggest CCP propaganda is anything like all other kinds of advertising.

            Completely hinges on what worldview and system you've been programmed to accept. When you compare how the CCP violates human rights vs how the US literally does the exact same illegally invading countries, you might see things differently.

            @Blitzfx: There's a difference between something that's an ad and something masquerading as journalism.

            I'm not comfortable with it either, but accuracy is important. The reality is even the Australian government advertises in other countries outlets.

            sympathetic to the CCP

            Not at all, their human rights abuses and censorship are particularly egregious. People who are vulnerable to propaganda (from one side or the other) are the ones that see things as black and white, either "it has to be millions of dollars for pure propaganda" or "CCP Good". The world isn't that black and white, and you're in trouble if you're expecting it to be.

            Real propaganda convinces you it's not, something you can't do with adverts, which clearly espouse a point of view. The 'China Watch' insert on the other hand, while obvious to the trained eye, is much more effective propaganda because it's masquerading as news.

        Do you realise how much of a fool you are for quoting something from OpIndia and did you even read the article.
        The article states that "China spent a total of $11,002,628 on advertising in US newspapers". Anyone can place an ad in any newspaper for anything.
        The NYT was not promoting Chinese Communist Party propaganda in a "cash for comments".
        Finally, do your research on OpIndia before ever citing them again, they have regularly been called out for making outrageously false and racist claims.

        • Blitzfx on 21/06/2022 - 01:00

      Agree. There’s a bunch of -ve votes purely based on political preference which I thought was not valid.

      Anyway for my 2c, for all those screaming about NYT being some extreme left propaganda site, it actually rates as centre-left and is factual. Have a look at the Media Bias Check website.

      Compare to our Murdoch dominated newspaper landscape and of course it’s going to look that way. MBC rates The Daily Telegraph (Sydney) as “right” and “mixed” factuality. That’s way less factual and more off-centre.
