George Pearkes: Well put. — Subium • Bluesky web client

the thing about Nuzzi is she's one of the worst sociopath careerists in journalism, and that's saying quite a lot

Also that woman has friends in VERY low places, so I don’t trust her for shit. deadspin.com/boy-do-i-fee...

The problem with this death spiral of news coverage is that any asshole can just throw in misinformation and it will get taken seriously

Well put.

at least, taken seriously by *some* people. open question as to their priors.

what gets me about the NYT pile on here is that they have such a magnetic pull on the discourse that people, including myself tbh, just can't help themselves from talking about it

It's really jarring talking to people who are in/out of the "media types or politics sickos" Venn. The obsession is just not there at all, regardless of opinions on Biden's fitness.

yeah. and the ethical void here is just beyond description. like Petey Baker doesn't vote because that might indicate Political Bias but it's fine for the entire org to hound the president out of office in a fit of pique when the republic itself is literally on the line

and lots of the people who I know personally that are cheering this on loudest are the same folks that tore their hair out over DNC manipulations (allegedly) in '16 and '20! Not all tbc but inside my filter bubble, those are the most aggressive voices on it.

Funny how that works, isn’t it

lol this is so true

🙃🙃🙃🙃

I don’t think it’s a fit of pique I genuinely think the Sulzbergers want to have Trump win.

“Put those blue hairs and college nambys in their place once and for all” is the line I once heard from someone in their circle

Crazy how many people in media can't make that connection. Or I guess it's probably more accurate that they WON'T make that connection.

The facts fit this theory.

It’s wild that they seem to be helping the guy who coined the terms “the failing NYT” & “fake news”, who fomented mass distrust in the media by framing it as “the enemy of the people”, who put targets on the media’s backs, & who’ll gleefully imprison journalists via his new POTUS immunity.

They definitely do but this Biden stuff is just score settling, they have been mad at him for giving them access and interviews

But he can write books with his wifey who’s an opinion columnist on the same beat! Ashley Parker is married to troll boy at a different paper who is also on the same beat! Fucking HR nightmares across the whole press corp

And of course Nuzzi and the sex pest, obv

People do not realize, when reacting to NYT-contrived moral or social panics, that it’s the same as boomers reacting to what the Facebook algorithm (or Fox) feeds them.

This is so embarrassingly true, and I’m so guilty of it. But at the same time, it is a supposed “paper of record” and where a lot of people get their only news.

That's how society has always been. The people who aren't very interested rely on the politics knowers in their lives to tell them what's going on.

They still, quite literally, have never reported in any section of their newspaper on the fact that Trump published Obama’s address to his violent supporters and an armed assassin showed up THE NEXT DAY.

IMO this shows a subtle twist & irony of social media/MSM. I figured the real danger would be the instant ability to wield official power e.g. tweeting an actual air strike. Instead it’s more related to speed & scope of information feedback loops, no matter the content, no matter the stakes.

This is the denial stage of grief. Biden's behavior for 90 minutes was such shocking news that NATO policy changed. It's not rational to think that it would just be forgotten if only the NYT had not mentioned it.
