The guy who was musing a few days ago how Trump could go about annexing Canada?

carys-martin.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah that guy can get stuffed as far as I'm concerned.

protecttruth.bsky.social•1 day ago

Anand, love your work, read your book, think you are super insightful, but...

Peter Baker is a big part of the reason we are here.
(as you know)
He could well have written all this stuff last year.

And he's NYT's head news analyst. During a coup. He better be writing this!

zerocool6687.bsky.social•19 hours ago

So he helped normalize Trump with the NYT leading into this mess so he could look like a hard nosed hero journalist as the country slides into a fascist authoritarian regime…

Fucken slow clap for Baker yall

bachnoid.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Is he writing more butteremail stories?

wrecked9n76e.bsky.social•1 day ago

No that pinhead has been conjuring shit with his privilege for the last decade. Fuck him.

wrecked9n76e.bsky.social•1 day ago

*FASCIST SHIT

pittsburghdan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honestly it’s a little pathetic that you talk about his privilege when he had the dedication and the balls to be an American journalist in Moscow under Putin. All you have to do is look at Evan Gershkovich to know what Peter and other Americans put on the line to earn their stripes there.

f16falcon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nope, he's pretty much on the MSM bandwagon. He's not unique.

They’ve renamed DC Muskow.

"Boy, this reporter's outlook seems to center on important topics. Let's look at their writing histo...oh. Wow. JeeZUS Christ. What a complete price of shit. I guess a collaborator-clock is right twice a day."

Literally read his profile at the Times and tell me he isn't acid to the Fourth Estate.

ehattswank.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wait ... is it *that* Peter Baker? Has he had some kind of epiphany?

nowwhat2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

Apparently truthiness is now all the rage, so he climbed aboard to see what it’s all about.

joeliza.bsky.social•1 day ago

Occasionally he throws out a good one.

dvtgrl.bsky.social•1 day ago

This administration is going to ruin America.

bossyzana.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you Peter Baker for truth and integrity. I pray many many more journalists and news outlets join you and stand up! The truth has to prevail! Stay strong. 💪

argyleminx.bsky.social•1 day ago

He could’ve been doing more of it prior to November 2024 when it would’ve made a difference

wellestarr1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Anand is congratulating the broken clock, I see.

snowwhitesagent.bsky.social•1 day ago

Too late

kmeiri.bsky.social•1 day ago

Presumably doing penance for all his commissions and omissions during the election cycle.

Anand Giridharadas: "Defensiveness & self-protection don't make an opposition. It's going to take a true, fiery opposition that understands how deeply undefended Americans feel right now. If you're not 1 of the people w/ mettle to stand up to an autocrat coup, get out of the way"

If only they all did this before November. Instead they focused on nitpicking about the Dems and sanewashed Trump. Remember when Trump just danced at a rally for 39 minutes - sanewashed by NYT.

djr1015.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sorry he’s a little late to the party! He could have called out Trump during the election and failed miserably!

frondescent.bsky.social•1 day ago

May he pursue this angle with the same persistence and frequency as Biden's age or Hunter's laptop.

lisamw.bsky.social•1 day ago

About goddamn time.

geauxblue.bsky.social•1 day ago

Baker and the NYT have a horrible, multi year track record of minimizing Trump and “both sides” false equivalencies. If they’re slowly starting to come around to reality and objectivity that’s good, but a couple of articles doesn’t undo the damage.
