Wow what a shitty misleading title implying that the loss of the checkmark is because of musk's opinion of the NYT. The blue checkmark is a thing you have to pay for and the NYT (as well as many other accounts) weren't paying.

what a shitty misleading title

That seems to be the norm- a lot of click bait headlines.

Musk's comment was a reaction to the NYT refusing to pay for the check mark, so we can safely conclude that it is the payment status and not actual content that determines "propaganda" status according to Musk- who seems to be outing himself as a political snake oil salesman playing us for fools. Fox "News" gets a dishonorable mention there.

Does anyone think the NYT is NOT propaganda?

Musk really should start labelling American media as "US Government Affiliated Media".

This article is propaganda. All MSM needs to burn.
