The New York Times CEO Warns Publishers Ahead of Apple News Launch (reuters.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Apple is expected to launch an ambitious new entertainment and paid digital news service on Monday, as the iPhone maker pushes back against streaming video leader Netflix. But it likely will not feature the New York Times. Mark Thompson, chief executive of the biggest U.S. newspaper by subscribers, warned that relying on third-party distribution can be dangerous for publishers who risk losing control over their own product. "We tend to be quite leery about the idea of almost habituating people to find our journalism somewhere else," he told Reuters in an interview on Thursday. "We're also generically worried about our journalism being scrambled in a kind of Magimix (blender) with everyone else's journalism."

'Memba when Glenn Thrush of Politico was exposed seeking Podesta's approval of articles about Clinton. Even Thrush wrote "please don't tell anyone" and "I'm such a hack". The consequences for Thrush? He was hired by the New York Times after the election.

'Memba when a New York Times reporter called Melania a hooker and they wouldn't even release the name of the reporter that said it, let alone fire her.

'Memba when The New York Times used eliminationist rhetoric as the lead sentence of an article on the op-ed page in December 2009: "A message to progressives: By all means, hang Senator Joe Lieberman in effigy." Burning an effigy, like burning an American flag, is constitutionally protected symbolic speech. It is also about as eliminationist as speech can get, short of a true threat or incitement.

'Memba when New York Times advocated for authoritarian China-style government?

'Memba when NYT journalist Ali Watkins blamed Trump lawyers for leaks, while she was fucking a Senate committee staffer twice her age who was leaking her classified info? Her punishment? The journalist was reassigned and given a "mentor" instead of being fired for breaking one of the most basic rules of journalism.

'Memba when the New York Times praised a coup in Venezuela? And stated in print, falsely, "With yesterday's resignation of President Hugo ChÃvez, Venezuelan democracy is no longer threatened by a would-be dictator. Mr. ChÃvez, a ruinous demagogue, stepped down after the military intervened and handed power to a respected business leader, Pedro Carmona."

'Memba when the New York Times finally admitted in print to being a liberal newspaper?
