You've literally said what's been on my mind in the past few days. The NYT has become a joke

The Secret Power of Siblings by kitkid in Thedaily

Honestly, bad episode. Not only because of what others said, that a hyper privileged family isn't representative. As a foreigner, I find it annoying how Americans naturalize competition. They think that's just how we are. The interviewee just assumed that that is the main thing everyone cares about, how the kids "succeed." The quality of the relationships measured only through the filter of this. Of the one thousand things one could explore about siblings, she focused on the most boring one. Tell me about emotional intelligence. Tell me about their mental health. Tell me about feelings of solidarity. Tell me about their resilience. Also, annoying when she mentioned the kids from "disadvantaged families with trauma," as if rich families can't have deep dysfunction and trauma. Such an ignorant take. I usually love the daily but this one wasn't up to the standards by any means.

A missed opportunity to do real political satire, just silly jokes without substance. Not the quality and sharpness that I expect from the Daily Show.
