The media is not center left. Neoconservatise(Fox) and neoliberal(CNN/NYT) are different shades of right. We are watching different points of view of right wing politics argue. Wall street vs petrochemical companies vs SV, etc... all jostling for position. And all of these people with quite a bit of overlapping interests but slightly different focus i.e. foreign intervention but should the pentagon focus on M.E. destabilization or for African and S.A. lithium?

This is the first time the NYT are pictured as neoliberal. That, or I've been living under a rock.

Remember: the thing about neoliberalism is that it ain't new, and it ain't liberal.

NYT follows the narrative supportive of the corporate agenda writ large, not because of an active choice about what it does write about, but because of the glaringly newsworthy things it ignores: like ongoing imperialism and terrorism committed by the US all over the world. This is true for most all major news orgs in the US.

Does supporting far right coups and writing context free puff pieces like this(constantly)[1] after a massive turnout for the very left wing party that the NYT railed against seem center left? Or, their uncritical push for the war in Iraq. Or their complete silence on the United State's role in Yemen etc... They write articles like this weekly, if that is not neoliberal then what is it?

You’re not alone.

His statements don’t line up with the ruckus after the Tom Cotton op-Ed or Bari Weiss’s departure.

Fair point. I was surprised at my blind spot, which I think I have because my media consumption consists mostly of the centrist media outlets you refer to.

I never realized how influential Bitchute QAnon believers are or One America News Network is either (mainly due to social media algorithms running haywire).

Tristan Harris of the Social Dilemma made some really great points to this effect on his podcast episode with Joe Rogan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaTKaHKCAFg.

Please stop repeating the same comment, silently editing it, and deleting it when it's downvoted? You're very clearly not going to get any substantive replies.

Biden won because people have legitimate issues with Trump. Deride it as "the propaganda machine" and other nonsense all you like. But this administration has a mind-boggling amount of documented fact-checked lies, clear nepotism, a history of censoring government agencies and intimidating federal employees who disagree, and putting out some of the most absurd propaganda we've seen in this country in modern history. It's astounding that this administration's chief complaints about the other side are always exemplified by the administration themselves. And people mindlessly repeat it without a shred of irony.

> anything pro-Trump being consistently flagged which is so fitting of your liberal friends.

That's simply not true. There are pro-Trump comments here that are not being flagged or downvoted into oblivion. But they're the substantive comments that aren't full of baseless claims about Trump being the victim of conspiracies and abuse.

I'm really glad I saw that comment, because it's good to know people can look past their bias to see the very terrible thing that happened to our democratic process to give you the outcome you feel is good.

We need reconciliation, but it will never happen until we're at least willing to look at the facts objectively and realize we just witnessed a type of coup.

I didn't vote for Trump or Biden. I am talking about confidence in the process. GOP workers were thrown out of polls in PA and NV. There are due process violations. There are 6,000 votes that went the wrong way in one MI county due to software "glitchs" and that software is used in 45 counties. At least 7,000 dead people have voted in Michigan and officials are finding more all the time.

I am concerned with the integrity of the process. I have never believe US elections were fair. I would prefer they were. The irregularities here are massive. PA literally violated an order from Justice Alito going into this election, and that cause will very likely go back to the Supreme Court.

I know you want your side to win, but do you want it at this cost? The integrity of the system is in jeopardy. The media doesn't decide elections. There is a process, starting with certifying the results, electors being selected, those electors voting in the capitol and the House voting based on those electors. None of that has happened yet, and we've never had the news media "call" an election with this much up in the air.

I really do feel sorry for you.

I hope you get better one day and rejoin humanity.

> slandered by the mainstream media as racist evil orange man

He tweeted a video of a man yelling "White Power." Now, you can say that was "an accident", but it was up for four hours!

Our president is always reachable, by definition, and he has people who watch media like a hawk, so if it was accidental, four hours for removal would make zero sense. So Trump's racism is not a fabricated media narrative, it's directly provable with verifiable evidence.

Is Fox news, the most watched news show in America not mainstream media? Trump has been slandered because of his outrageous statements and actions.
