The article was pasted exactly as I found it at 2:40 pm, I bolded parts that seem like they would influence readers, in order to help with anyone skimming this. Of course, it's social media that decides which article gets read the most, not NYT's website.Īnyone interested in analyzing the media coverage of Bing probably should know these facts, and also that these are some of the best information we can get about media coverage, since social media companies are notorious for dispensing falsified data and it's very difficult for outsiders to verify estimates of how prevalent bot accounts are. NYT's website seems to be shuffling much more intensely than usual today. Since 2pm, it seems to have been moved to the fifth slot, and three of the four articles above it are politics-related. This article alone isn't valuable enough to be worth the time of the average LW user, but it is notable that it was published in the NYT this morning near the front page (as high up as possible for anyone who skips the political news).

This is an underestimate of NYT's market share, since the average NYT reader is smarter and wealthier than the average CNN reader (although the NYT depicts its content as more intellectual than it actually is). It's important to note that in December, the NYT was confirmed to be the largest news website in the US, beating out CNN with 488 million probably-unique monthly visitors in December 2022.
