This article, like Schumer’s statement after the attack reads like, “come on man, I’m horny to get bombing in Iran, but you didn’t apply the customary lube first.”
I like the NYT journalism but their opinion pieces are all over the place, they always seem to go for the two sides, or even more sides so there’ll always be at least one you agree with and one that you absolutely hate
An understandable question, but this opinion article is by the editorial board; the source and the author in this case are functionally identical, so it’s entirely valid, in my opinion, to point out contradictions like this.
I don’t think you should be downvoted for what would otherwise be a reasonable, level-headed response.

They literally posted an article supporting the war earlier today, too.
The NYT is part of the US’s consent manufacturing machine.
They just also coincidentally post some decent recipes and host some fun word games.
Edit: Serious Eats posts far better recipes, though.

We can do both.

Edit: by the way, @SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone, maybe a source besides a screenshot of a ChatGPT log is appropriate here.
Edit 2: In part because I think some of that is even hallucinated. E.g. point 3, the real headline is: “Trump’s Remarks on Migrants Illustrate His Obsession With Genes” Did you check any of this before you posted it here?

However, they do have that weird legacy-media combination of pomposity and serrvility.
