'Taylor Lorenz and her
media allies know that she is more privileged and influential than you
are. That is precisely why they feel justified in creating paradigms
that make it illegitimate to criticize her.'
Authored by Glenn Greenwald: The most powerful and influential newspaper in the U.S., arguably the West, is The New York Times. Journalists who write for it, especially those whose work is featured on its front page or in its op-ed section, wield immense power to shape public discourse, influence thought, set the political agenda for the planet’s most powerful nation, expose injustices, or ruin the lives of public figures and private citizens alike. That is an enormous amount of power in the hands of one media institution and its employees. That’s why it calls itself the Paper of Record.
