"may be"??


The New York Times may be the very worst of MSM.

Here “may be” is correctly used as a modal verb phrase:
• may = modal auxiliary (expresses possibility)
• be = main verb

So the structure is:

Subject + may be + complement
• Subject: The New York Times
• Verb phrase: may be
• Complement: the worst of MSM

Meaning: It is possible that the New York Times is the worst of mainstream media.

If you used “maybe” instead, the sentence would have to be structured differently:
• Maybe the New York Times is the worst of MSM.

Both convey possibility, but grammatically they function differently.

Summary

Correct forms:
• ? The New York Times may be the worst of MSM.
• ? Maybe the New York Times is the worst of MSM.

Incorrect form:
• ? The New York Times maybe the worst of MSM.

I will be accepting apologies today at 2 pm.

I would love for Trump to abolish all of them. Get rid of the MSM, it’s a threat to the people and our freedoms.


All he has to do is reverse the propaganda rule Obama installed. Pretty simple.

If you are someone that religiously watches, CNN MSNow ABC NBC CBS Fox, or read the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, etc., you are a brain dead moron.


I abandoned the MSM back in 2020. All they want to do is inflame you so you will tune in tomorrow or the next show coming up. Doesnt matter what side of an arguement you are on. They both do it.

NYT is bad, CNN is worse
... and MSNBC is the absolute worst. People who watch that channel all day are pumped up on straight up propaganda and hate. Everything they accused FOX of being, MSNBC is x10.

i watched 5-10 min of cnn the other morning and it sounded like we were losing the war. Iran is still firing missiles, Trump has no plan, Trump keeps contradicting himself blah blah blah. Only someone who hates america could watch that shite everyday.


We get that here from so-called conservatives. They'll never realize they are nothing more than useful idiots.
