They already banned the New York Post for content they didn’t like.

I wonder if the same people who are angry about this were angry when the NY Post got their account banned.

Cool, so I can't choose not to read the NY Post now?

The previous management was hardly better. They banned the New York Post for daring to break the Hunter Biden laptop story.

In light of this news I vote we never allow anymore New York Times posted to this site.

I wonder, why NYTimes is not banned here???

The NYPOST was banned for 16 days over this story. It was suppressed for 16 days, not one day.

NYPost is just about the worst “mainstream” publication available and anything they’ve ever done devalues the technologies which transmit it and degrades the minds that consume it. Unfortunate to see them linked & highly ranked on HN.

Was there an announcement by the New York Times to do this? I am not calling him into question; I just wonder with what silence and shame they have made this decision.

Should they next ban their op-eds for their sometimes offensive ideas expressed?

Nytimes should be banned from HN. It is paywalled and the information is dubiously sourced, if even true. This is not an acceptable source of news nor fact.

If they lose they should delete the NY Times

Can we ban any link to the New York Post, please? For every "article" they "write", there are better sources to link to. Every single time.

They banned NY Post for reporting on Hunter Biden's laptop and the contents showing "10% for the big guy" in reference to his father getting kickbacks on some shady Ukrainian and Chinese deals that Hunter facilitated.

If the NYT reproduces other content verbatim too much, it will get in trouble.

Great, I can expect every New York Times and Fox News article to be flagged by people who didn't like it.

I know you moderators got profiled by NYT and got free publicity but doesn't mean that this site should be become a traffic generator for NYT fakenews Rot of journalism ethics at New York Times has turned into leftist plague https://nypost.com/2019/08/13/rot-of-journalism-ethics-at-ne...

NY Post is also the kind of newspaper that should be avoided, it's an American version of The Sun.

lawnchair_larry | karma 10934 | avg karma 2.88 · | 2020-10-26 22:42:41

The NY Post didn’t do that, did they?
