Those articles reaffirm more the extreme political mentality of vox and slate than any political leanings of the director.

That these websites practically thrive on conjuring up issues even where none exists should surprise no one.

How can you possibly seriously describe Vox as extreme? Perhaps they’re more liberally biased but “extreme”? There’s no world where that would be an accurate description

they’re extreme as in the conspiracy theories they cook up are EXTREMELY nonsensical.

It doesn’t matter how far left they are or what that even means

Imagine thinking that about those boring-ass centrist websites.

imagine thinking these websites are centrist because you have more ridiculous extremist websites on the left and the right.

Vox is literally the definition of neolib trash. I don't understand how you can call it far left. People on the left don't actually mind the label, but don't call shitlib stuff far left. The left is explicitly opposed to neoliberalism. If you wanna read something actually on the left: https://jacobin.com/

Vox is just cookoo. Jacobin on the other hand is full on deranged.

What organizations do you consider to be sane, rational center/center-left (vox) and leftist (jacobin) media? Is it possible you consider every leftest media outlet between cookoo and deranged?

Yes. I also consider every right wing media outlet to be between nutty and rabid. Horseshoe theory and all that.

Media is mostly disingenuous and needs chaos or outrage to get viewership.

I remember when India had conducted an airstrike on terrorist camps , INDIAN channels left w and right w alike invited their Pakistani defence guests and practically taunted them to start a war! (which thankfully didn’t happen)
