Didn’t that same objective news outlet just agree to knowingly hide what they know to be facts from the American people during a VP debate so as not to offend one side?

However, Coates effortlessly made him seem the biliously anti-Palestinian racist he is. Also, the man's dudebro douche speech patterns were objectively repellent.

ryanlcooper.com•151 days ago

yeah Coates is not to be trifled with lol. lot of people have learned that the hard way

The one who comes immediately to mind is Chait

His interview with Jon Stewart in contrast felt good and true to me, a reasonably intelligent layperson

ryanlcooper.com•151 days ago

yeah that was great, that's always been one of his strengths but that one was particularly compelling

Israel is basically The Troops for big time TV reporters now, a subject where they can throw out the pretense of objectivity and become heated partisans seemingly without even noticing

enbuenora.bsky.social•151 days ago

and remember, since Both Sides agree, they can't be wrong!

codyharrison.bsky.social•151 days ago

Wouldn’t it be reasonable to say since we have military personnel working on military ops that directly and indirectly affect Israel, that to go against Israel is tantamount to treason in our society. The word treason may seem facetious but I think it reflects how people (esp in media)work & think

Fucking double-circumcision mfer

Well- @cbsnews.bsky.social did not act like an objective outlet in this “interview .“ I watched it and was appalled. Tony Dukopil was so blatantly pro-Israel- was rude to Coates and barely gave him a chance to speak. I am glad this is being followed up on.

craigmranapia.bsky.social•151 days ago

Indeed - but I also think this is a subset of a really deeply ingrained racism where being belligerent and condescending to people of colour is OK (especially if they're even slightly liberal/progressive) that would NEVER be tolerated if the script was flipped. I can't imagine a scenario where...

craigmranapia.bsky.social•151 days ago

.... the script was flipped and a person of colour still having a job.

Oh, that POC, in this case, Coates, would immediately be labeled Angry Black Man or something similar.

craigmranapia.bsky.social•151 days ago

Oh, 100% TRUE. Damn it. I don't disagree with folks praising Ta-Nehisi Coates for keeping ice-cold in the face of this nonsense. But it really grinds on my last nerve that POC are constantly subjected to the hard racism of what I call "asymmetrical civility". White people can vomit up...

craigmranapia.bsky.social•151 days ago

... any enraged lying nonsense that crosses their empty little heads in the faces of people of colour, but if they so much as raise an eyebrow in response? The script writes itself. *sigh*

acrigola825.bsky.social•150 days ago

that's shocking...from the dons of a cyclops that gave us Tulsa King....?

Loved the way Coates gently brushed him aside
