1. The guy who wrote the "don't vote" essay says we're obligated as Americans to root for the Michigan Wolverines www.nytimes.com/2022/12/08/o... 2. he lives in 3 Rivers, MI & says your vote doesn't matter "even in municipal races." I found EIGHT elections in the past 10y decided by 1 vote there

Someone should foia his qualified voter file to see if he actually hasn’t voted since he stated publishing this screed back in 2018.

Aren’t their fact checkers supposed to verify this before they post?

It's long been clear that they don't fact-check editorials.

The 'geniuses' at The New York Times are too busy churning out anti-Biden slop to actually vet anyone they publish. They are unfit to do journalism and should all step down (for the good of the country).

For the people who may be wondering if there's another Matthew Walther in Michigan this could be... The address is in Three Rivers, and he's posted about living there. x.com/matthewwalth...

That bio also has the link to his Catholic magazine The Lamp that’s mentioned in his NYT bio. It’s 100% the same guy.

Walther was born in 1990. If that's him, he has not aged well at all.

A life filled with bitterness because you can't control other people's lives will do that.

Born at home and blue-eyed blonde, just like the good Lord intended. Amirite??

Join me in corresponding with the Times. [email protected] is the only way to request a correction or retraction for such egregious lying in print.

Correction (I own that I made a copy error above). That's the only way to request a correction on the opinion side. News has their own process. FTR I do not for one second buy that the Times, esp. Times Opinion, has any commitment to ethics at all.

As for previous elections: according to his bio on the Washington Free Beacon he used to live in Virginia, where state law is very protective of voter registration info.

Registered to vote on Election Day, which I didn’t realize was possible in Michigan.

yes, it's one of many wonderful things they have there in Michigan, albeit, they have way too many elections overall
