"if everyone people believes a lie, is it really a lie?"
no kidding, although I think the reality is even more sinister
NYT knows it is lying, a huge swath of America knows they're lying
NYT knows that when they force feed us a lie, they'll get backing from all the other media outlets, corporations, etc. - save for a handful of entities the rest can deem conspiratorial/crazy/extreme
They also know if you go to your office or a social gathering and start going "did you see the footage on NewsMax or Tucker Carlson showing all the long lines" people will look at you like you've got a second head. Not because they necessarily believe NYT or can't believe Tucker, but because they can't risk agreeing with you in our increasingly social-credit system.
In sum, I think this type of stuff is less about convincing you a lie is true, and more about putting an implied threat out there about calling out the lie. But to your point - if everyone goes along with the lie, is it really a lie? - is just as valid.

Yep.
The far left and the MSM is becoming more and more bold because they have manipulated current values to make any traditional values uncouth for polite society. They can say whatever they want and you cant disagree
