It’s so awful.

Just as it did during the rise of the Nazis a century ago, the New York Times is twisting itself in knots to avoid calling fascists fascists. Germany’s AfD is not a “party that downplays Nazis.” It’s a neo-Nazi party.

So tempted to say goodbye to Times subscription

If you watch The Daily Show, you would have seen Jon Stewart push the same line. Someone should ask, after the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the past few weeks, is it ok to call it fascism yet?

Total failure of character.

Awful, yet par for the course. The NYT has a vested interest in covering for fascists and racists.

Hmmmm, I wonder why…

I just submitted feedback on this disgraceful headline to The NY Times, and encourage everyone appalled by it to do so as well:

Add letter writing to the NYT to your 5 calls.

Shameful. So much for journalism

And remember Vance compared Felon Drumpf to Hitler long ago. He knows what Nazi means and what he’s supporting. And it’s not a change of mind for him, since his first sentiment was rank opportunism too. Same with his recent lies targeting judges. He knows what he’s doing. He’s a liar’s liar.

Trump & Vance belligerent fascism is not so unfamiliar to Europeans - They are united more than ever after Trump's election & Vance's speech, and they are twice the population of the USA.

They remember Hitler, Mussolini; in other words they're unlike stupid American voters in the Republican Party

I wrote a response to the Times about that very headline about "downplaying Nazis." They haven't published it. They hate being criticized publicly.

It's shameful journalistic malpractice.

The VP just told Germany to let Nazis spew hate and also to let them join the Government.

Europeans depended on us to defeat Nazism and to protect them from Russian totalitarianism.

WE have switched sides and are now pro-Russia and pro-Nazi.

Fuck me.

This is not new for the New York Times. Don’t be surprised.

Disconnected from the NYT several months ago. Could tell they had ulterior motives with the election, and now obviously their reporting slant is rapidly approaching yet another State-run media outlet. Nope. Sticking with AP and other reliable sources of reality and fact. Hoping AP really leans in.

Terrifying

The media is taking on a Vichy like approach to Trump’s fascism. It’s despicable, dishonest and cowardly

Isn’t Rupert Murdoch one of Putin’s buddies? His Fox propaganda has been pushing Putin’s agenda for years.

rob-montague.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’m pretty certain that the current German government is entirely capable of determining whether a German political party is neo-Nazi or not! Much more so than The NY Times editors!

So sad to see the NYT shrink to this level

Publishing blatant lies should lead those with a conscience to stop funding @nytimes.com by paying for subscriptions. At least @washingtonpost.com subscribers held Bezos to account.
