This would be funny if it wasn't obviously a petty response to people telling you that calling illegal acts illegal is a normal thing for a journalist to do.
i honestly thought that one was a pretty interesting discussion! i enjoy media criticism in general, just think it sometimes misses the forest for the trees
That is true, certainly. I think the issue is that we do not, on the basis of posts we saw online, know if someone is missing the forest for the trees or if they merely appear to us that way, right? Anyone can be dismissed on this basis.
Wait, that's not real is it? The woman moved a man's execution so it didn't interfere with her fundraiser and they still thought she was a serious candidate?
SO, NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S WHAT, I'D LIKE TO REMIND YOU IT'S DAY 61 & THAT CHEETO FUCKER ISN'T GOING TO GO AWAY QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT.

I had an account over on MySpace; I used it because back when anybody who had a band had to have a MySpace account for it, that included my nephews, who had a metal band in high school (they were born around 1990, and one of them is still professionally employed in the metal band business.)
This douche thinks he’s a player at throwing shade, when all he’s doing is showing his own bias, the times and the post are on top of the garbage heaps of the past, like 65 years olds thinking they’re 25, with all the arrogance and self entitlement, dude is a farce, and so is his employer
The fact that Trump doesn't know about Musk-Hegseth plans to share US war plans with China until the NYT reveals it, means no one is overseeing WHAT Elon sees, knows, or is planning. Trump is out of the loop and incapable of performing his primary responsibility as President.
The NYT is where they spend their time crafting euphemisms for lies and illegal while crying about readers complaining that they are acquiescing to fascism.
I'd argue that Facebook is still the place where us geezers try to remain connected to the people with whom we reconnected at our 50th high school reunions.
I would say that I don't blame the Times, I blame THE "PRESIDENT" and his financeer LEON SKUM, as well as all their lackeys and sycophants. I would bet that the majority of OrangeBlob voters are too uneducated to even try to read the Times, let alone be influenced by it.
That's what gets me. Fox News has about 200x the audience of NYT, but the Times is the one destroying the republic?? Some criticism is justified but it's now a competitive sport on the left.
Mastodon is where people endlessly bitch about billionaire patrons while cross-posting content from their platforms, but that really doesn't matter compared to this really cool bit of moss growing on this one tree!
Good list - but please replace, “New York Times” with “All Legacy Media.”
Oh, and, btw, truthfully covering peaceful protests might go a long way in restoring public trust in their headlines and in all the paragraphs under that headline.
Reddit is where underemployed millennial men resist the president's latest move by posting inside jokes about it for specific online subcultures and then holding a vote to see how many people caught the reference. https://bsky.app/profile/georgette98.bsky.social/post/3lkvibxqncc26
Yup, they created their own negative feedback loop.
The shitty headlines prevent people from wanting to pay so they never see the content and only see the shitty headlines, which prevent them from paying so they only see the shitty headlines which prevent them from paying so they only see the sh...
It's like they're designed to foment angst, anger and discussion in external online spaces.
That doesn't drive subscriptions, because much of the anger is directed back at NYT for the maddening, passive, slightly misleading headline. Who knows what the article actually says, it's paywalled.
Nah, Tumblr is basically Stan Lee in this gif; listening to a Severance/Our Flag Means Death/Arcane podfic, purposefully dissociating from the destruction around him.
I am liking this, not because I necessarily agree but because I am amused and I to be amused by something in these trying times so I don’t claw my fucking eyes out
Meanwhile you're posting this on Bluesky as an employee for the Washington Post, which is owned by Jeff Bezos and consists of nothing but an oligarch's propaganda mill.
in re Bluesky, The Spousal Unit says this to me every time I object to a NYT headline ... but TBF, causality runs from action to NYT headline, not from NYT headline to action.
... unless ...well, I could make a case that causality runs from ...
Oh, never mind, this is getting too complicated ...
I gave up finding actually-smaller-than-Ubuntu distros that can use vmtools to set their window size correctly,
and Ubuntu often breaks updates if you get to them late,
so I just use Ubuntu LTS releases.
Also, it's "People who blame The Washington Post" erasure!

I screwed up my threads algorithm and now it’s all bad dates which is funny considering I haven’t dated since the Reagan administration.

1) who does write the headlines?
2) why are you all okay with your work constantly being mischaracterized by the people that write the headlines?
Yes, Minister is the gift that keeps giving.

Where people post the fanart they've created based on an AO3 fanfic of these three most powerful men in a yaoi academy AU
The way that legacy media covered the 2024 presidential race is a big part of How We Got Here.

(He hasn’t actually done this to the news section yet though. That’s my inscrutable reason and I’m sticking to it—for now.)
But also, I actually have a NYTimes subscription and sometimes, it’s more than the headlines that make me mad.
