Whatever else happens today, it begins at 107th and Bway with the finest vat-boiled dough and cured salmon combo in Christendom. And by Christendom, I mean the broken world we Hebrews have tried to mend with psychotherapy, the polio vaccine, Dylan, Mel Brooks, bagels & rugelach.

THREAD. A new scandal is brewing at the New York Times. I try my best below to document the paper's corporate and police union copaganda, and to share actual evidence and research that the NYT ignores. The stakes are huge.
