“The New York Times has long been where I go to have my bias confirmed. They stopped doing that this one time and it is causing me mental pain”

Here you go, buddy, here's leftist critique of the New York Times by Amber.

The greatest factor in the decline of liberal journalism, however, is the decline of the Left itself. In the absence of labor desks at local papers and a vibrant trade union movement to fund working-class publications, the labor beat goes largely unreported, or merely reported within the confines of an egregiously bourgeois myopia. Take #MeToo, a “movement” to combat the scourge of sexual assault and harassment in the workplace. The media obsessively focused on wealthy movie stars and high-profile women in (you guessed it) the media. If readers had zero knowledge of the US and they picked up the Times, they might assume these rich, famous women are the most vulnerable women in the world, and not, as it is, the exact opposite. (FT is no Studs Terkel, but as a paper of capitalism its editors at least keep the focus on policy and women at work, without trying to pass endless lurid celebrity gossip off as feminist journalism.)

A strong labor press would have expanded the conversation about #MeToo to include women who pick tomatoes, work assembly lines, wait tables, and clean hotel rooms. A strong labor press would have politicized the problem with serious policy and labor law demands. “Progressive” publications are no substitute for a labor Left, either. At this point The Nation appears to be largely a brochure for the magazine’s woke travel agency (that’s a real business). Unmoored from any working-class institution, they skew liberal, and of course suffer from the same funding woes as any other publication.

Politics should not be about racial grievances. If you admit your politics are about white grievance, don’t complain about shit like BLM. It’s the same difference and doesn’t propose a solution to anything

Grievance is a word with a negative connotation for a reason

That’s probably why democratic states are hemorrhaging people. Social left positions are largely nonsense but there can and should be an argument for helping poor people attain things like affordable housing, education, and healthcare

There should also be an argument about personal responsibility

Tell the witch the end of history was cancelled on 9/11, not when she started tweeting about Bernie. [extra derogatory comments omitted]

So for ten pages you guys argued there’s no Republican identity politics and then you come in and say actually it’s white grievance politics?

Interesting

Don't forget heteronormativity and fundamentalist Christianity too, they aren't just white supremacists.

They have a special hate boner for Francis Fukuyama on Chapo and I've never read him or heard their episodes where he was mentioned so I can't really say why. Then again, that show always falls back to their beef with some person. I was a bigger fan of Matt Christman when I listened, the others I could have done without.

Just laughable to me that there's people out there who cannot tell the difference between a NYT reading liberal and a socialist. I know dozens of socialists who hate liberals far more than Trump supporters. I also know socialists that would excommunicate me for talking to the fascists on this very forum.

I liked the anti-Italian content on that sub.
