The Vichy New York Times
A political parody archive cataloguing what it describes as The New York Times’ editorial failures.
Field notes
The project organizes its criticism into named sections including Trumpism, White Supremacy, Transphobia, Access Journalism, and Sanewashing, then attaches short reading-time estimates to individual entries. The homepage currently shows a six-minute lead essay alongside shorter pieces about a boycott call, a projected spending figure, an allegedly spiked op-ed, and parental estrangement. An archive area adds dated entries, while the footer explicitly labels the site a private, non-commercial parody.
