It is a rare occasion that I publicly criticize a staffer at the paper I write for but: you blew it. Your subject flat-out lied about how he procured the vilest of CSAM, and it is a dereliction of journalistic duty not to at least fact-check what many users here, myself included, vividly recall.

Yah and those nonprofits are left coded (not denying) but usually vehicles for rich people angry about their view or parking. I am not saying no true left just those rich people would find another vehicle

I have no desire to let dems off the hook for bad governance but the details matter and these errors happen because the premise is "somehow this is the fault of The Left" which even with CEQA is missing the point a bit

Seeing nigel as working class is absurd but so is seeing starmer that way(and the funny thing is after years of people obvious rejecting the son of a poor toolmaker thing, he still does it). May the least working class affect is to try to fake it.

The bbc non-explicitly-politics coverage is like this. Basically "this horrible thing is happening but we have no explanation why or who to blame or what could be done about it, just a hurricane blowing through"
