Friendly reminder that Slate Star Codex is still down and NYT ethics is still questionable. With the upcoming election, we shouldn't forget to hold the media accountable.
Looking for apology & concrete action or policy from the NYT. Until then, #ghostnyt.

1/ Sorry New York Times, I decline to be interviewed.
The harassment of @bariweiss and Scott Alexander are only two of the more recent reasons I no longer trust your paper. Helping elect Donald Trump is another. I encourage others in tech to #BoycottTheNYT

2/ The data makes it plain that the NYT has abandoned its commitment to nonpartisan reporting. When the internet threatened their business they made a devil’s bargain to amplify outrage and us-vs-them psychology. Racism wasn't a new problem in 2014 but their stock being down was.
3/ These are real problems, but do the graphs reflect a secular trend in the world or a change in business tactics? The suddenness of the spikes tells us it’s the latter, as does checking Google Trends where we don’t see corresponding spikes.
Is doxxing anyone @nytimestech covers a policy @puiwingtam?
It appears this WAS a management decision
But also not a policy. Just capricious abuse of power. Sad to see.
