    If I believed in a deep state (which I categorically do not) NYT would be part of it.

    I do, however, believe in giant media companies funded by the 1%, who have just lost one of their own to one of the plebs, staffed by management who will steer things in the needed direction. Any doubt I had of that has been destroyed by their coverage of Gaza.

      It’s very real, it’s just not anything like what far-right conspiracy theorists think it is[1][2][3].

        the deep state just isn’t that deep, more of a cut-and-cover state than a deep level tube
