Re: the NYT outed the whistleblower
I mean the NYT is very left-leaning and the purpose of this thread is to call them out on their bullshit. What's even sadder is the lack of the liberal MSM coverage on this flagrant fuck-up. Rage against injustice isn't partisan.
As an aside, I know what kind of people on Facebook you're talking about, but not everyone is obligated to comment on every single political event they encounter. I could bitch about, say, how awful Autism Speaks is as an organization but my bandwidth isn't infinite. |

Re: the NYT outed the whistleblower
It's definitely not controversial to say that they're solidly left-leaning.
With HuffPo, Daily Beast, and trashcan TYT in the mix, I wouldn't say 'very' left-leaning though. Last edited by SputnikOwns; 09-27-2019 at 05:40 PM.. |

Re: the NYT outed the whistleblower
I guess when you think that politics is a line where one side is "the right" and the other side is "the left" it's easy to confuse liberals with coalitions of other "leftist" groups like democratic socialists, socialists, communists, anarchists, etc... but when you categorize things as two-sided it really betrays a complete lack of understanding of any politic outside of our phony two-party system in America.
The two parties in the US work to the same end and are mostly composed of neoconservatives on the right and neoliberals on the left. They have the same goal: To serve corporate interests and ensure profits for stakeholders. They both don't care if you shrivel up and die, they just want their profits and they want to sell you on it in different ways. What you really mean when you think that NYT is leftist is that they have more neoliberals on staff writing opinions than neoconservatives, which is maybe correct? It's pretty questionable when their current OpEd staff has the likes of Bari Weiss, Ross Douthat, Bret Stephens, David Brooks, etc... and the Liberals are people like Paul Krugman. Even Washington Post is solidly left of NYT by the two-sides metric though lmao.

Re: the NYT outed the whistleblower
Anyway it's gonna be real fun to see if the anti mattering shield breaks through the mattering here, and you better bet these idiot news corporations are going to sell out every source they can for every last dollar because this is the main event.

MSM cannot ever truly be leftist since they rely on and exploit capitalist structures to survive. But there is a spectrum of sources along the Overton window.

Re: the NYT outed the whistleblower
DaBackPack you not making a thread bitching about dem's or whatever isn't a point I'm making and doesn't invalidate the points your making in thread. That's not what I'm saying
You deflecting in a manner that suggest you would hold both sides equally accountable when that's not super evident in prior actions comes off as.....well deflecting. It's perfectly reasonable to say the Biden point was a little too off topic and you wanted to highlight the whistleblower but like, you didn't bro--you'd been off that topic for several post top IIRC so I don't see where I'm crossing the line in pointing out that I don't think that's a particularly good response to make. Edit: the brain cancer analogy is really bad here. You can't force public opinion, vote out, or make life affecting laws with cancers man. Last edited by MixMasterLar; 09-27-2019 at 10:27 PM.. |
