Dan GillmorBy the time the NY Times starts calling "far-right" politicians what they truly are -- fascists -- they will have already taken power. At which point they will not allow news organizations to use that word at all.

Didn't you try to build a news organization years ago? I don't see the major billion dollar corps as the answer. Snipes at them seem almost pointless. That's why 'public squares' like Twitter were important. Spreading the TPM, TAP, Lever, etc. info that doesn't have the wealth serving bias. How to enable, nurture and build them into power voices?

Chris T 🌽⚾️@dangillmor I also wish there was a way to get the main media outlets to cease their greatest contemporary lexical crime: mislabeling our own homegrown #MAGA #wingnuts as “conservatives”. Calling them “racist anti-democracy radicals” isn’t bias: anyone with access to a dictionary should be able to figure this out! #MSMcowards #NYTGetYourActTogether
Jeff@dangillmor They had an article about the Dutch government today that was incomprehensible. They just tried so hard to frame it as a standard political quibble, that it completely lost the plot. The fascist plan to separate migrants from their children was completely secondary.
I finally made sense of the article by remembering that it's the New York Times and the only thing they understand is run of the mill politics.
