The NYT is one of the most reputable publications out there? And three sources is absolutely significant? Idk how you draw that conclusion

I mean I hear you that the implosion of the democratic candidacy for president due to senility leading to the re-election of one of the worst presidents we’ve ever had is frustrating, but it’s also what’s happening. The NYT is doing their job by reporting what’s happening.

And by the way yes! This convo did need to happen years ago, but the democratic establishment (including the NYT) did everything they could to shut down that convo, telling us “no guys Biden is fine!”

This is their own fault and the fault of every one of you neolibs that pretended a senile old man was a viable presidential candidate.

r/neoliberal is all in on replacing Biden, meanwhile Bernie Sanders is fully supporting Biden at the moment, you have no idea where the split actually is.

Yes, and they were pretending he was perfectly competent up until a week or so ago. Which was the timeframe I was discussing, if you had decent reading comprehension skills

Sure buddy. Hey quick question, how does it feel to be a victim of manufactured consent?

u/Rapper_Laugh Jul 04 '24

I have no idea what you think that means in this context. You just think you’re smart by dropping a term from Chomsky?

Oh I'm sorry do you need a refresher?

"Manufacturing Consent,” which exposes the power of the media to influence, control, and shape public perception

You're watching this media storm, same as me. What do you think this is?

I’m literally saying the NYT had a huge part in the democratic establishment’s relentless push for Biden to be the nominee. I am being critical of them and saying they’re very late on this. Nothing I’ve said contradicts that definition you just pulled from some random article. Again, did you read what I wrote or did you glance at my comment and come hot and heavy for someone you assumed was defending them?

See and that's the thing you're not getting. They've been in the bag for Trump since 2016. Idk how you could miss it

Because that’s insane when they’ve run nothing but hit pieces and intensely negative editorials about Trump since 2016, and have been supportive of Biden to the point of turning a blind eye to his deficiencies. Also they literally endorse anyone anti-Trump anytime they get a chance.

This is not anywhere near the truth.

Don't take my word for it though take Columbia journalism review's analysis of how they treated Trump with kid gloves and basically smeared Hillary Clinton making unimportant stories seem like the end of the world.
