We need to reward media and journalists that act with courage.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE INQUIRER; IT IS A VERY GOOD NEWSPAPER

My Jeff Bezos / Washington Post money has gone to the Inquirer.

NYT does have an article, but it's buried deeeeeeeeeeeeep. NYT still has lots of good reporting, but the editors in power are beyond repair.

I ❤️ the moniker “Vichy NYT” 👏

How fucked is America that The Inquirer is being a more legit news source than the classic news outlets?

ghoulsis.bsky.social•5 days ago

I believe you might be confusing the Philadelphia Inquirer (a legitimate newspaper) with The National Enquirer (a supermarket tabloid).

anathar-frost.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ah well then I retract my comment

NYT aren’t Vichy. They’re KAPO.

deejuss.bsky.social•5 days ago

Honestly… did anyone expect THIS much of bending the knee from the MSM? Even as a Canadian, I’m fucking appalled by even the fucking print news of the USA.

thesamedevice.bsky.social•5 days ago

There are some good papers left. The Inky is one of them. Consider subscribing!

etrnlvista2.bsky.social•5 days ago

Unfortunately, yes. Plutocrats own the few MSM outlets we have now. Years of mergers. Part of the successful Plutocratic coup that has been in the works for 50 years.

deejuss.bsky.social•5 days ago

I knew WAPO would but literally *every single* one is just shocking. I can’t believe they all decided to fuck over their own rep to be Donny’s whipping boys. Treasonous.

Meanwhile, Republican budget will add $25 trillion to our national debt.

Let's ask Elon and his pet Felon why no cuts or firings at the Pentagon?

There was a protest here, in my town.

I saw *nothing* about it on the news.

It was refreshing to see the "Fuck Musk" signs, in just a completely random part of town, with angry people to boot.

palumboliu.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you for posting!!

ashleymont.bsky.social•5 days ago

It would be nice if a media organization with a NATIONAL audience would cover protests in all 50 states.

thesamedevice.bsky.social•5 days ago

maybe more folks should read the inky

it's a damn fine paper, and it's not like Philly's some backwater rinkydink

Shame on @nytimes.com

heres.bsky.social•5 days ago

When they do cover it, it’s always “at least 1000 people protested” and never “hundreds of thousands of people”

ckinser.bsky.social•5 days ago

Interesting they’d say “Thousands attended” as it’s been reported that NYC alone had 10k; happening in multiple cities and towns in all states so it’s at least tens of thousands, and more likely hundreds of thousands. Someone who knows how to do this needs to get an approx count for the next one.

abysmalzydrate.bsky.social•5 days ago

nah they're downplaying on purpose

ckinser.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeah, that’s what I meant by “interesting.” It’s a habit from decades of being expected to be polite. I do think we need to get a statistician or two for next time to come up with numbers we can throw in their face.

abysmalzydrate.bsky.social•5 days ago

yeah, I'm past expectations of politeness, so I forgot some people say it that way. Thanks for clarifying!

unfort they're so indoctrinated that they trust no numbers that don't come from THEIR sources. a non biased outside source is still an outsider.

The Inky’s election coverage convinced me to subscribe to them when I cancelled WaPo, even if they’re significantly more expensive.

AMNY managed to cover it, and they’re just a scrappy local news outlet https://www.amny.com/news/thousands-march-manhattan-presidents-day-against-trump-musk/

steveg.bsky.social•5 days ago

And Trump won Penn. I wonder how many of these protesters were hoodwinked and voted for Trump? They should look in the mirror before heading out to protest.

queengwenevere.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is in NYC, why on earth are you talking about Penn

steveg.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why on earth would the thread also include a protest in Philly too?

queengwenevere.bsky.social•5 days ago

You were replying to me, I was posting an article from an NYC outlet on the NYC protests today in reply to a post about the NYC protests today.

You wanna talk about Philly, go upthread and reply to whoever was talking about Philly, because it ain’t me.

Vichy NYT reporting from Sigmaringen Castle. Or, actually, just looks like Brooklyn:

Wash Post didn't either.

ATTENTION DEMOCRATIC LEADERS: The massive civil protests across the country against Trump/Musk are inspiring. Now, you need to give 75 million more a way to express their disgust. Please consider a "Dollar For Democracy" ad campaign with a QR code linking to an instant, pre-set, $1 contribution.
