I do not understand why this would be surprising to anyone who has ever read anything by Bari Weiss.

it's so fascinating to me that the Bulwark is more consistently and honestly anti-Trump than the Free Press

I’m LW&generally abhor Kristols politics.I’m now finding myself agreeing w/ him&finding him more honest than ‘journalists’ at major print/digital media outlets. Of course,Kristol isn’t greedily looking2get back the 2016-2020 ad revenues like Mr Kahn, nor is he a spineless twit like oligarch Bezos

Why is stating facts always considered anti-Trump?
(Asking for a friend)

davidsjass.bsky.social•24 days ago

See 1st Administration: Trump.

Over 30,000 lies to the nation's people.

wjt.bsky.social•24 days ago

So nice to see this said.

sarah-jean.bsky.social•24 days ago

Ive always voted Dem and I love the Bulwark. I feel they report truthfully and their viewpoint’s are more in the middle than right vs left leaning media. Sometimes the truth hurts and that is ok! Thank you!

kiraresists.bsky.social•25 days ago

Hey man... Like Bari is just asking the hard questions like where can I cash a coch bros check on a saturday. Getting to the hard grif... truth.

Or by the Bulwark

The Bulwark is Anti-Trump?

I had JVL all wrong.

nicenameprettyboy.bsky.social•24 days ago

Your hatred for her is so refreshing.

suky4ever.bsky.social•24 days ago

Good one JVL!

orwellknew.bsky.social•24 days ago

But but but if you want to read the 'free press' on the Bulwark site you have to pay $10 a month.

jvl.bsky.social•24 days ago

No. 95% of what we publish is unlocked and anyone who wants a membership but can’t afford it just emails me and we take care of them.

orwellknew.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thanks for that.

lisamikolajczyk.bsky.social•24 days ago

I was paying for a membership but then I lost my job so I put it on hold while I pay off my bills but if you’re giving free subscriptions I’d love one, JV.

I saw this sign yesterday and it reminded me of your recent pieces on Tesla.

sweatband09.bsky.social•24 days ago

They also talk about everything in the articles for free on YouTube, if you want the Bulwark perspective the money shouldn’t stop you

orwellknew.bsky.social•24 days ago

Thanks!

looserooster.bsky.social•24 days ago

But also the free press…

cc-car.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes "fascinating" 😱 (slams head against wall)

jsilliman.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ya….the free press is free trash

cjtoronto.bsky.social•24 days ago

You guys are a light in the darkness.

johnnywest.bsky.social•24 days ago

Press is not holding him / them accountable. Free pass.

klsmd12.bsky.social•24 days ago

💯🎯

jjmadden.bsky.social•24 days ago

Not surprising when you look at who funds TFP

Investors in The Free Press include venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and David Sacks

lerris.bsky.social•24 days ago

This is the key bit. For the free press to be free, they need to not be owned by a company with a lot of varied interests that cannot afford to offend the government.

In general, our free press is not free at all, and that is a huge problem...

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•24 days ago

Fuck

aprilsayso.bsky.social•24 days ago

It’s journalists like Bari Weiss that made way for Trump IMO. She’s the problem.

stunotstuart.bsky.social•25 days ago

Bari is f'ing trash

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•24 days ago

Agree

queenlucinda.bsky.social•24 days ago

Bari Weiss IS the problem.

bucks-county-lib.bsky.social•24 days ago

Bari Weiss has gone full anti-woke to the point of anti-anti-Trump. She's really in the dark place.

pithywidow.bsky.social•25 days ago

What would be surprising to political observers in 2005 would be the prediction that in 2025 Bill Kristol would be a greater opponent of the Republican President than the Democratic Party leadership.

julianawriting.bsky.social•24 days ago

She’s an anti- intellectual coastal sycophant posing as an anti- liberal feminist intellectual.

orviston.bsky.social•24 days ago

Where my disappointment is greatest is the guys at Commentary that are doing their best to polish the turd of Trump 2.0. I had no expectations that anything Bari wrote would ever be worth reading.

nicenameprettyboy.bsky.social•24 days ago

Commentary has been defending Trump for years now, and has been on straight trajectory of radicalization. They’re hard core right wingers. They were critical at first because they thought it was a phase. Once they figured out it wasn’t, they all fell in line.

nicenameprettyboy.bsky.social•24 days ago

I recall Noah Rothman arguing in writing that Trump was trying to keep calm by down playing Covid in the beginning. You should lose your job for making such a case.

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•24 days ago

pete-rrabbitt.bsky.social•24 days ago

Commentary crew has always had a strong undertone of racism. I knew Jewish supremacists were possible in theory. That crew is Jewish supremacy in practice. They are all in for ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank.

kbrab.bsky.social•24 days ago

When I started reading Bari Weiss years ago I was looking forward to years of independent thought and integrity. Then she became the hollow shell sycophant she is now. What a tragedy.

internettheo.bsky.social•24 days ago

Didn’t Bari Weiss literally attend Inauguration events/parties etc?

stella0311.bsky.social•24 days ago

I’m a Dem and that won’t change but I have always followed reasonable Republicans for a fair look at both sides. The Bulwark is a great resource for accurate facts and fair analysis.

jkoteen.bsky.social•23 days ago

Exactly.

ravenna321.bsky.social•24 days ago

But should the free press be anti-Trupt? Shouldn't they just be pro-truth?

damnvanguard.bsky.social•24 days ago

Yes, but they slant the fuck out of their coverage. Thumb on the scales for Trump the entire campaign.

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•24 days ago

James Baldwin, a more influential writer and substance.
