So, I've been spitballing this idea. What if us plebs with a platform or talking to each other started that war?
NYT is not as deep pocketed as Murdoch, and I presume one goal here is to regain the clicks and dollars they got with Trump
The only advice I’d give the Biden campaign is to go to war with the NYT. They’re even less popular than Biden or Trump, would form a good rallying cry, and reframes the campaign to be an underdog attempt to push good policy against elites who don’t want it. “NYT is for the billionaires, we’re not.”
Let's literally and figuratively cancel the NYT. Let's tell them to stop committing journalistic malpractice or wither on the vine.
Who were the folks who made dents in specific Fox pundit viability through coordinated ad boycotting? Are they still around?
Not incidentally, there are real, serious journos posting right here on Blue Sky, (a couple of whom work for NYT & I respect, Jamelle Bouie and Paul Krugman). But also individuals who have at least taken a more measured approach to the hysteria.
like I don't expect journalists, who need to eat, to take up pitchfork and torch against their own employer (though they've done so at MSNBC and WaPo recently as needed).
But the point=make this a story and change the narrative. Why is "our democracy is in danger" not the lede, all day every day?
