When America elected a neo-fascist president/2016, the NYTimes didn't ask, how can we save Democracy



They cut a deal with Steve Bannon for Clinton Cash. The NYT was a proactive partner in the anti-democracy movement.



@Will_Bunch
Here's the bottom line: When America elected a neo-fascist president in 2016, the New York Times didn't ask, how can we save democracy? It asked, why didn't we listen more to the enablers? And it's never stopped since


They buried E.Jean Carroll's rape accusation in a book review. But they called for a special prosecutor to review Biden's papers at U of Delaware even after their news division determined that Tara Reade was not credible.
The NYT is a right-wing paper. It's time they owned it.


"even after their news division determined that Tara Reade was not credible."
From NYTimes desk to MSNBC & Chris Hayes.
Long after Reade was found uncredible they both shoved the lie as tho it were truth.

Aside from the occasional broken clock being right, the NYT owners are firmly on the side of the oligarchs and financiers, not regular working people.

It is delusional to think otherwise.

Her weekly Monday morning valentines and mash notes to Dubya were more effective than ipecac.

The NYT likes to write lurid Republican horror stories, to terrify their Liberal readers. "Look how bad it could get!"

Today is a particularly bad example - multiple stories on 1 year of Biden, including "14 Independent Voters discuss their Fears".

Independent flibberdigibbets don't deserve amplification - they have no insight.

I stopped my subscription to the NYT in 2003 after they played down the Million People March against the War on Iraq ..Feb 15th.. I was there.. expecting to have it accurately reported.

".. Jan 6th Marchers..".. they weren't fucking Marching.. they were Terrorizing.

Yeah.. the media Shiteheads that pushed Tara Reade after she had been found out to be a fucking Lying Psycho Mush have Been Soo Disappointed when Biden got 81 Million Votes.. Well Fuck them to Liars' Hell.

some picture of the police having to deal with a few protestors.. that's the pic they ran.. when 98 % pf the Protest was Peaceful.

And, it was 22 degrees with wind chill.. at the end we were dancing to keep warm! Brr

Way more than a "100,000".. my sister and I came from upstate NY.. about 4 hours away. We felt we were at least doing something. "When the World Said NO to War". even though it didn't budge the bush killers.
