I’m ignorant of the context but I’m keto sensitive and extremely gassy. Thanks Joe Biden!

A topic about "the mainstream media sucks" is not the same as "why the mainstream media sucks"

Ghlionn also writes for The European Conservative and The Spectator. He dislikes transgenderism and like other Aporia writers spends his time complaining about wokeness. He is also a writer for the Brownstone Institute, an organization that has been criticized for spreading misinformation against vaccines.”

Why I Don’t Vote - NYT opinion

Or an opinion on how NYT handled that:

NY Times publishes op-ed urging people not to vote, changes title, then removes it from front page

[BrotherMan]

I mean. I hate to be reductive and dismissive (lol) but you look at that guy's picture and you know he votes and why.

[viscousmemories]

I gotta be honest I didn't read this whole thread, but apparently the author of that piece of work is a piece of work himself.

While I don't think I'm missing anything much about baby hitler with a penny farthing there, it should be noted that those who don't have Xtwitter accounts can't see beyond the first post.

Stolen from a billion places on the internet, and with apologies to our friend davidm: The NYT should step aside and make room for a younger, stronger, more coherent paper.

Agreed.

lol

LOL. Read: “We are bleeding subscribers for asking Biden to drop out so let’s ask Trump to drop out and see if we can get them back.”

Nope @nytimes. WAY too late. You’ll never get a dime from me for news ever again. https://t.co/CpmDCsKulQ

I'm leaning somewhat towards thinking Harris would be a better nominee, but the media is clearly on a crusade. Our "liberal" media is doing things they never did and never would do to a Republican nominee.

And a lot of it is pettiness over Biden not being as chummy with them (or his White House not being as leaky).

A lot of it is also how they were living high on the hog when Trump was president. They were all getting leaks of shocking information that they then sat on to get book deals, the TV ratings were much higher, etc.

I don't believe that the money doesn't affect their thinking.

Unfortunately, managing the media is something we need in a candidate, even though the media is shitty...

[seebs]

Oh, yeah, the "why i don't vote" person has in fact voted in recent elections, and was just completely lying. They edited to "won't" to pretend it wasn't a lie.

Makes me think of the clownstrike global disaster. Not only is the MSM just repeating the nonsense, not a single one has asked the obvious question.

How the fuck does a company not test an update before forcing it on a billion computers worldwide?

They just parrot the same story. No investigation, no skepticism at all.


"Even if the author is deeply confused, how does nobody else pick up on the mistake before the story is broadcast worldwide"

Yes, how does that happen?
