American journalism is completely dead and is uncritically taking something a CEO said at face value, or both-sidesing settled objective facts, so of course some guy named Turd Weedman is going to tell you to eat shit when you post the dumbest article ever written because that's every article now.

It doesn’t help that the Bold New Idea that started this was that we needed a liberal Cold War against China to unify us.

And, beyond the moral horror, it’s just the geopolitical version of saying “We should go back to the way things where when I was respected and listened to.”

"Nostalgia for a pre-lapsarian past, which we need to return to with a fiery rebirth" is just fascism and the fact that they fundamentally have that mindset means that they are way too far gone to help tbh.

but between the period where turd made his name on twitter dot com and now he got a phd in history or something so by the time some thinktank nerd decides it's time to Manufacture Some Consent he's literally just as qualified to issue a response but we forgot being called Turd Weedman is weird.

and for the purposes of this discussion if we could politely ignore that my handle here is "no name" that'd be neat.

Yeah, a lot of the real investigative reporting has moved onto Youtube now

Trying to wean my mother off of Facebook by telling her about More Perfect Union and Good Work and even some of the sports journalists like Pablo Torre/Joon Lee since she's huge into that
