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.
Justin ⏚Posting headlines only with an editorialized summary of the content is the functional equivalent of a quote tweet. Preaching to one's choir instead of encouraging others to read the full context. There's a full article there. Why not encourage your (intelligent) followers to read it?
I get that outrage clickbait gets views, but Mastodon is supposed to be better than Twitter in this regard, right? Let's not repeat our mistakes.
