alt Hacker NewsWhat exactly does "better" mean? Both are tools for manipulating public opinion. The NYT is better at inflating it's own reputation.
If NYT was honest, at some point in the past decade it would have acknowledged that one of the primary reporters on its Donald Trump beat was the daughter of an executive VP at the long-time PR firm of Fred and Donald Trump.

It means don't submit trashy tabloids articles, especially on stories where they didn't do the original reporting.
I doubt the NY Post would even deny they are a trashy tabloid. It's their whole thing and understanding that is how you make money in that game.
Better means holding itself to journalistic standards as opposed to catering to the most base instincts of its audience.
The issues you allude to don’t create an equivalence, except in the minds of people with no capacity for discernment whatsoever.
> Doomed: Pushed on the subway track, this man is about to die

There's a man that fell off the subway platform, about to get killed by the subway train, and the New York post photographer saw a great opportunity for a photo op for his employer instead of, y'know helping the guy out. Sure, the NYT has had its fair share of scandals but the NY Post isn't well respected for a whole other level of malfeasance.
