whoever at the NYT is in charge of writing all these soft focus profiles of evil right wing freaks should hire me to do the same but for actual workers and leftist organizers

I’m being a little facetious (the NYT is no place for the likes of me) but the legacy media’s constant willingness to publish cutesy profiles of dangerously reactionary and/or outright fascist, white supremacist figures with very little interrogation or pushback is a very real problem
I can’t remember if it was NBC or NYT h who recently described Elon Musk as “playful “ at CPAC with the chain saw. First off, it was cringe and second he’s 53.
I reckon the world is in far greater need of a big splashy piece on a mutual aid group like South Philly Punks With Lunch or a union organizer like David-Desyreé Sherwood than yet another evil tech villain or far-right natalist freakshow
for real!
...aka when the 'both-sidesism' bs is literally just one side.
always seems to showcase the whatabouts from the faschy side of the spectrum, rarely if ever from even a remotely leftist perspective.
absolute trash from big media.
Hello Kim, I am really ashamed to ask you for help again,but I swear it's getting worse and worse so please If you can please boost the pinned post?I will be grateful to you all my life
AMEN! The ridiculously sympathetic "bullhorn lady" piece about a J6 traitor by Dan Barry and Alan Feuer made her out to be a victim. She was a violent insurrectionist terrorist! This is just like their endless sanewashing profiles of MAGA and their supporters. Unsubscribe from the NYT. DO IT NOW!
Yeah, like this isn't your chance to write a grimly epiphanic literary ending where you finally take some distance from your protagonist, it's actual real life where real people get hurt, do some journalism
YES. I've been annoyed about that lack of "balance" for years. Like, news keeps repeating made-up nonsense about antifa, but do we ever see actual profiles? No, we do not.
Right? Media loves to humanize power but rarely humanizes the people fighting for a better world. Workers, organizers, caregivers—where’s their soft-focus profile?
"[Female labor leader] is a mass of visual contradiction. Her hair is undercut, but her sharp eyeliner is softened with lavender eyeshadow, and the hammer and sicle tattoo on her left forearm is surrounded by colorful flowers. She mentions offhand that she knits during meetings..."
WHYYYY are they doing it? It is so laughably stupid. I screamed when I saw that some women gave each other prison tattoos! Why are they giving air to these people??

Its new to me & I can't imagine how much work meta, google, & amazon put into trying to cover up a genocide.
