Seriously? You have gotten to the point in your extremism that the New York Times, one of the most respected news sources in the entire world is not factual to the point it should be banned. How did the country seriously get to this point?

#4This article is from March 2015, and shows that the writing has been on the wall for quite a while. The "safe spaces" movement is a plague, and I am sick of it. I hold extremely diverse viewpoints which span the political spectrum. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative. How can liberals claim to be accepting of all viewpoints but, in reality, only accept those that align with their pseudo-personal-Utopia outlook? It's bonkers.
There is no right to not be offended.
There is no right to not be uncomfortable.
Welcome to real life, where you must be resilient to criticism and offense and countless other negative occurrences and feelings.

It's not paywalled, you just need to authenticate. Not the best, but not paywalled either.

#6> I don’t see how you can have a therapeutic space that’s also an intellectual space.
College should be a place where your beliefs should be challenged. If we've learned anything, echo chambers are strong and becoming stronger. The only way to combat that is with adversity.

I am on mobile, however I will amend with sources. The NYT dileberately held back stories and pushed forward the views if the Clinton campaign. If you accept that wikileaks emails are authentic, you can not accept NYT as legit. Maybe we can assume it was incompetence that their polling numbers (85-15) we wrong, and that is subjective admittedly. I personally feel this too was intentional.
Edit: not to mention, like most media, it cant serve over https because of advertising refferers.
How Their Polling Numbers Changed:

How the HRC campaign used media to influence RNC and promote weakest candidates:

here are some screencaps of various media companies front page and politics pages:
I have to find the actual links to the wikileaks NYT stoiry placement emails, but this at least points out the narrative that was being crafted and why I dislike NYT. The fact that they were part of the reason we had Trump v. Cointon is enough for me to drp them. Trump & clinton are terrible people and the media (namely NYT) is the reason this was even possible.

Trump only has 20% chance of winning.
Dow is going to tank a million points on Trump victory.

#9I am 50+ and this whole safe space movement is really perplexing. No, people should not be subjected to hurtful circumstances, but at the same time, they are a fact of life.
Being a world citizen is a dicey proposition, and my gut reaction is that further insulating ourselves is the wrong way to go. I can't imagine how a military comprised of soldiers who have grown up in this movement can be expected to deal with the events of war.
If a person is truly emotionally wounded and sensitive to common messages from typical life events, they should be afforded therapy so they can cope.

If the New York Times is not an acceptable source of news then I'm the President-elect.
