The NYT is reputed to be one of the most reliable sources in the country. Which paper would you consider to be more accurate?

Maybe none, Dave. Given how often they blow it at the NYTs it’s certainly not an endorsement of the medium!

While certainly not perfect, their track record is stellar and it is easy to find numerous references stating such. I have been unable to find any medium that disputes that, though there must be some and I was wondering what others have found as a responsible critic.

I love the NYT, subscribe to it and read it daily. They have an excellent staff of investigative reporters who release info from early morning to late at night.

I like NYT and the Washington Post. Both with decent records even though lefty biased.

I subscribe to the Washington Post too, both are almost always on point.

My issue is I prefer to believe my lying eyes! Relying on ANYONE to tell me what I saw and heard is, IMO, insane.
I understand the NYT has a long reputation...... and I don’t dispute it EXCEPT to point out that our current world and technology render that reputation at least partially useless. At the very least the zeal to compete with online s**t has lessened all published news.

Maybe you think the BreitTURD gets it better?
The NYT has high caliber investigative reporters that do amazing jobs and very quickly. I’m sure they make mistakes.
The NYT’s has won 122 Pulitzer Prizes.
But like Nobel peace prizes, you think those are a crock of s**t..., right??? LoL

If you feel it is useless, that's fine. We have no sources that are completely accurate...that's why the more discerning need to consider multiple sources even if they do not agree with their biases.

First.....you’re an unbelievable asshole. Having said that, I have never read/heard breitbart. As for prizes.....who gives a fuck? I only care about today......get your Buddhist on, jerk.

Not useless, Dave, or worse than others. Again, I’ll beleibve my eyes and ears whenever possible. I am astounded how many see the NYT as the gospel, though.😎

Philosophically that works, but we don't get too much first hand info for our own eyes and ears and are at the mercy of the interpretations we can find.

Agreed. I try to find most controversial stuff on a YouTube, etc., but I’m even suspicious of that!😎
