Watching the NYT on this insane gaslighting crusade makes me way more forgiving of the shitty social media cultures I’ve been involved with and complained about, because it’s VERY clear journalists have worked themselves into the same kind of reality-agnostic fervor that we all do in the crab bucket
difference being that a lot of the people pushing this idea that Biden is somehow a decrepit zombie, not a disabled man with a disability he’s had his whole life who’s being ratfucked,clearly stand to gain from getting him to resign and/or lose, personally and in terms of shield from Trump reprisals
So basically the media are Poasters now, they have Poasters Madness, and they’re acting like Bluesky nerds, and that’s horrible. The media has never been good, but this is seriously a new Yellow Journalism era, it’s so transparent, and also it’s just so insanely depressing
