Nyt used to be the paper of record. Past few years. Nyt eroded itself and no longer paper of record that it once was.

I’m impressed that you read it. Congratulations, so far you’re the only other one to do so.
Their subscribers have never been more numerous, btw.

I guess we can’t call you pretentious for wondering if people are sniffing each other’s butts. A lot of other terms come to mind though.
