Krugman was always a worse offender 
bari weiss is the best
David Brooks op-ed comments sections are maybe the worst place on the internet
At least in the top 10 (behind this website - nadota)
It’s like these people dont understand he’s there specifically because he gives milquetoast, slightly-right-of-center takes on anything and everything just so that the NYT can pretend they have a “full range of editorial perspectives”
Meanwhile you have longstanding columnists that literally publish the same work every week (after running it through a “scramble my words/swap out synonyms” tool) to massive applause from leftists who just want to be agreed with and patted on the back for their “brave” opinions
If thats the black guy then i dont like him
nyt editorial board has been swinging right since the 90s
And that is NOT because I’m racist.
no its the white girl
climate denier and race science subscriber i believe
Yeah I think they’re probably neoliberalism incarnate at this point but you can’t deny they have some of the lowest-common-denominator “leftist opinions” available anywhere on the internet
oh yeah, you’re definitely right about this.
Jacobin is pretty bad too, and the intercept has done some really stupid shit
Is the intercept greenwald’s thing? I figured they would be pretty good considering he was always a pretty outspoken against-the-grain guy
Greenwald is a piece of shit i used to follow him for almost 3 years
then it turned out he cared about animals more than people living in the global south, and he cheered on the iraq war among other shit
kind of a trashcan liberal imo, he has had good takes involving the US and foreign policy for sure though
Yeah I haven’t followed him in-depth but I appreciate that he called out the various neolib BS on WL/JA - at least for a minute there
It’s not greenwalds thing, apparently it was made by the guy who founded ebay, but whoever runs it now is named jeremy scahill (i think) and he’s pretty neo-lib too. it’s too bad because they can often get pretty good writers and articles in their website
greenwald was just a longtime contributer i think
When they study our society thousands of years from now they will say the news media was largely a mouthpiece of the state
US journalism is in such incredibly bad state, as well as our education system. I believe there’s a rational and intellectual crisis in the minds of almost everyone that lives in this country.
