Your first look at the now Right Wing Daily Beast, everyone!

NEW: Not one but TWO major US media outlets have been taken over by Brits who previously headed anti-trans culture war obsessed outlets in the US and UK. Robert Winnett of the psychopathic Telegraph and Hugh Dougherty of disinformation-peddler NY Post will head the Washington Post and Daily Beast.

Uh Oh! Conservative Brits Take EIC Roles at Two Major US News Orgs — Assignedwww.assignedmedia.org The Washington Post and the Daily Beast have featured responsible, factual coverage of trans issues. That’s now threatened as two editors who helmed culture war focused papers have been put in charg...

Also was reminded by my partner, who is a former journalist, Daily Beast was playing footsie with The Lincoln Project fuckheads long before the takeover so we all should’ve known this was the inevitable pivot of Daily Beast

Drat. Another one bites the dust.

It’s bad!

I went and looked. Yes, it's bad. Gotta go and remove them from my follow list now.

That these people think half the country loves Trump is quite stunning. It’s not even half of all voters. People want him dead. Today demonstrates how much he is hated. Not loved.

Exactly. His popularity is exaggerated by the Electoral College and the terrible news media. Most people think he's trash.

Right wing manufactured consent.

I had noticed the shift. Thanks for confirming what I suspected.

Yeah that happened about six weeks ago give or take a few weeks so it’s very recent but yeah they wasted no time

Ughhh. This is why we can't have nice things.

And it’s only gonna get worse!

Daily Beast can fuck all the way off. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wait seriously

Yeah that happened very recently (within the past couple of months), hence the pivot

God damn it

🤮

Too bad Bye bye Beast used to be My guy

Tracy Connor? I don't know much about her, but while she started at the NY Post, I don't see anything on the surface level to indicate right-wingery. I'm not disputing you (she's an abomination either way), just wondering what you base this on.

I link above at the news.

Do you mean the "Trump is a hero" story in the tweet I responded to?

I mean this, there are more people involved hence the right wing pivot: bsky.app/profile/assi...

So yes, there’s a pretty big right wing takeover at Daily Beast and it’s the speedrun

Ah, so not Tracy Connor. Weirdly, I think I saw this at the time, but I'm not even sure. Because of the firehose of awful. Thanks.

That seriously sucks.

Missed the Daily Beast hire, but of course knew the WaPo one. ☹️

I stopped reading it months ago....

What in the fuck.

I think I’m gonna vomit

Holy mother of fcuk. They couldn't even be bothered to get their numbers right. Roughly 60+ vote in any presidential election. Tr*mp got 46% both times, so at best, we're looking at 1/3. One-third of the country supports this treasonous sociopath.

I had wondered at the sudden shift in tone and perspective, but didn't go look. I just blocked the suckers and shook my head.

Gagging

This explains so much about their tweets and such over the last few weeks

Happened about a month ago (I thought it was six weeks ago but I’ve lost the past week due to personal stuff) but yeah, they’re dogshit now

Glad I let my sub lapse. 😾

I have a solution for that.
