Annalee Newitz 🍜I asked my media studies students to look at the New York Times' op-ed page to determine what the paper's Overton Window is. Most thought it was fairly liberal, but others thought it was just kind of silly. One commented simply, "These are really absurd topics for articles."
Phredd Groves@annaleen So, which definition of 'liberal' is in play here?
• The USian version of 'generally to the left'?
• The (to my mind) actual meaning of the term, which is to say, far more interested in property rights and the status quo than human rights?
