markjacobI can't get over this New York Times headline saying Ron DeSantis is "building his brand" by wrecking public education in Florida. It reminds me of NYT’s first mention of Hitler in 1922, which claimed his anti-Semitism wasn’t “genuine” or “violent” but was just “bait” to attract followers. From 1922 to 2023, NYT is still covering fascists from a marketing perspective rather than a moral perspective.
Extinction (our fate)@markjacob Every time I find a "good" story that the Times paid for, I think to myself, why didn't the journalist take it to a reputable paper? Why is the Times treated as an appropriate destination for actual investigative journalism, rather than as a right wing editorial rag or yellow newsroom as it so often is?
