NY Times trending poorer?


Much has been made about the NY Times and their focus on the consumer preferences of exceedingly rich people, while ignoring real people and their concerns. Editors at the Times have denied any slant in their reporting.


Now, we have a Thursday Styles section that includes two articles about less expensive consumer options: "Dress for Less and Less" by Eric Wilson and "Penny Pinching Looks Great" by David Colman. This follows on the Sunday metro section cover story "Starting Salaries but New York Tastes", which included a young New Yorker who left her wardrobe back in Nebraska and received periodic boxes from her mother instead of shopping for new clothes in Manhattan.


Can we say that the NY Times is trending poorer?
