Peter GleickThe Wall Street Journal oped page continues its decades-long unbroken streak of being absolutely terrible.

@petergleick
Leslie Seefeldt@petergleick Total propaganda insanity.
Adron š¤š»@petergleick WTF are they talking about, Biden and the "Dems" often are following rules to a point of absurd detriment.
Lotā“ā¹@petergleick This is a joke, right?
šš·ššš£š²š®ššš® š¤@petergleick wsj is a Murdoch rag these days. https://ft.com is a much better place to get financial news.

Ryan M@petergleick that opinion is awful. Basically it states pro-democracy, accessible elections are anti-democratic. And then they go off on an unrelated border tangent. Wtf
Nonya Bidniss š„„š“@petergleick For crying out loud. I'm glad they've never gotten a penny of my money. Repulsive.
Max Fenig@petergleick Iām no Biden fan, but that headline makes me wanna puke.

When you know that WSJ is just a racist, fascist, corporate mouthpiece of hate, and you can still be shocked.
Wow

Wow
lupus_blackfurAnything outside the "Financials" of WSJ are now and forever have been off entirely dubious validity.
Read the Financials and then line the bottom of your bird cage.
SFborn1940@petergleick January 6 was more than a "disgrace". It was a direct assault on our government and a blatant attempt to overturn a national election.
Such a threat has never been more serious.

Ged Maheux@petergleick @glennf Wow. Iām actually flabbergasted.
Laurie Voss@petergleick it is not a serious newspaper.
Martin Vermeer FCD@petergleick Is the Constitution a norm? Asking for a friend
Sane Thinker@petergleick Just as long as my investments are doing okay. š¤¢
DruidThey are a news corp entity, no?

Steve O.@petergleick They mean "both siderism", right?
@petergleick
They said both sides? Out loud?

JonathanOn the one side, Nazis.
But let's not forget the other side should be less rude to Nazis.
Ratboy (reformed dino pirate)@petergleick because norms are the same as law? š
Negative12DollarBill@petergleick
The Left needing to stick so hard to norms is how they get played by the alt-right. It's how they can use "plagiarism" or "ethics in game journalism" as a Trojan horse.
We need to be more skeptical of them, now that we've had the playbook read out to us.
Strange Culprits HAS MOVED@petergleick News Corp will be a hands off WSJ owner, they said. It'll be fine, they said.
We know false equivalency is a thing, y'all. The WSJ editorial staff should hang their heads in shame - that way, they can stare at where their balls used to be.
Whine Spectator@petergleick @glennf what the fuck
Scott D. Strader š@petergleick As a country, we deserve to die. This is horrific.
JohnMashey@petergleick
As you know, WSJ was awful on climate already in 1990s, long before Murdoch. But also, WSJ Opinion told us in 2016 "Nicotine...excellent drug, with few serious side-effects (though mildly addictive) and many fine properties."
Reality: 1) It's very addictive,. although for most, ONLY during adolescent brain development, through age 24.
2) It's bad for teenage brains.
3) For older folks, nicotine stiffens blood vessels, rasies risk of vascular diseases (heart attacks, strokes).

bignoseJonathan Holmes in 2012, in the context of an earlier round of vaccine denialism:
> To put it bluntly, there's evidence, and there's bulldust. It's a journalist's job to distinguish between them, not to sit on the fence and bleat 'balance'. Especially when people's health is at risk.

Sheila DeBonis@petergleick Erm, what norms? Biden is perhaps the most moderate dem out there. There are a few pro-Palestine leftists who are a little too radical, sometimes other civil rights causes like the LGBT and racial equity movements can alienate the middles too. But he does a good job of reigning them in, finding nuance and looking at the big picture. Biden only has so much power and can't make radicals cease to exist.
@petergleick Also, is this article available on archive.org or some other source that circumvents the heavy WSJ pay wall? I can only suspect, but I want to know what "norms" Biden has broken. Being Catholic? Being elder? Enjoying ice cream? To his credit he has encouraged young people to get involved in politics and advocacy despite his own age. And yeah, he talks to and hires people a who are a little more liberal than him. He likes to be challenged.
Galad@petergleick What the fuck???
Jim Vernon@petergleick What a shock, Republican representative Tom McClintock trying to both sides the very much one-sided problem that implicates his party.
Julescelt@petergleick Just another weaponization of the civility argument. I'm getting a little sick and tired of hearing how one side should respect traditions while the other gets away with breaking every single one. It's also a logic fallacy. Ffs...
PÄteris KriÅ”jÄnis@petergleick well, good thing is, we haven't actually started to fight dirty yet. We keep ourselves abide to rules. If will have, we will go further.
As for money bags supporting fascism - they always have, always will. It was not a fluke. It is by design. Power of money has to be reigned in.

Ankit Pati@petergleick Thatās a good thing, because opeds are āopposite editorials,ā which means the terribleness of opeds is inversely proportional to the terribleness of the editorial opinion, by design.
Also I canāt help but notice at least the oped title is 100% accurate and on point save for punctuation and subject-verb agreement.
āBoth sidesā threatens democracy.
Basil@petergleick honestly thought this was a parody.
Nini@petergleick Convincing people that nobody is good is how evil truly ascends. Confusion, uncertainty and doubt are powerful tools but work best with fear.
Comrade elronxenu@petergleick That Biden hasn't had Trump quartered in the streets of Palm Beach Florida is already a testament to following norms to a level never seen before.
LFpete"The Jan. 6 riot was a national disgrace..." AND insurrectionists in Congress are to blame.
Flowermob@petergleick and merdeoch helped. #murdochfascists
Virginicus@petergleick When the Wall Street Journal says someone is a threat to democracy, they mean it as a compliment.
Peter Butler@petergleick Does ānormsā = White supremacy?
Thatās the only thing I can think of
Grandpa Don@petergleick trying desperately to sound thoughtful and constructive whilre attempting to brush the fascism under the rug so the coup can be completed
PerryGrossman@petergleick Wow. This is terrible.
