Well..in what is becoming a sickening occurrence, the New York Times has gone off the rails again today with the worst sort of bothsiderism that I have ever seen…and a complete, stupid misinterpretation of the first amendment. As the right wing continues to whine that people are pushing back on their lies and conspiracy theories and won’t listen to them spew that nonsense, the Times is on it, first with a right wing college student who was given the editorial page to whine that no one listens to her spout her bullshit and calls it “cancelling” her rights under the first amendment, and today, the editorial page stays on that theme saying that the biggest danger to our first amendment rights is the left not listening and calling bullshit on these right wing assholes. Now, I’ve read the first amendment, and there is not one damn thing in there that says you have a constitutional right to be listened to as you lie your ass off and spout racist, misogynist bullshit…remember folks, the first amendment only applies to the government regulating speech…if I don’t want to hear someone spouting that the idiot trump was the bestest president in the history of the universe, I don’t have to give you a forum to continue to say it…or an ear to listen to it and the snowflakes on the right wing just don’t understand why no one wants to hear their crap other than other trump cult members….and it IS my right to call a right wing racist asshole a right wing racist asshole and dismiss them without letting them pollute my ears with their bullshit…back when I was young, none of the crap the repubs are pushing daily was accepted and the party policed that nonsense…could you imagine anyone taking Khrushev’s side 50 years ago? Or being on Russian tv on a loop to support a war that the rest of the world is against? This is just another incidence where the right wing editors of the NYT are doing everything in their power to normalize how far to the fascist side the repubs have gone over the past 30 years….we all need to call them out and make sure there is a price to pay for all of the lies the repubs continue to spout…and that is not protected by the first amendment…geez…

I’m beginning to hate the NYT…
Well…damn, I’m not sure who is running the New York times but there has been so much bullshit bothsiderism that it is squandering the hundred plus years of great journalism that made it the “paper of record”….throughout the Hillary Clinton e-mail non scandal, they had breathless coverage of the nothing that it was every damn day and they were responsible for getting the idiot trump elected with all of that crap…and today, they had a huge article about how badly we are doing controlling the covid virus with more cases and deaths than any other country….and, because they are kissing the right wings ass constantly, they tried to cover up the reason for our poor performance…every damn report from the CDC, the NIH, and every other study highlights one thing, the vaccination plateau we have reached where almost every dem is vaccinated and boosted by only 52% OF repubs are…and they act like the reason for that just can’t be figured out and they leave it at that…and that is the problem..it CAN be figured out and yet they just don’t want to say it…it is fox news and the daily loads of misinformation that come from it and the whole right wing ecosystem that are actively trying to keep the pandemic going to hurt Joe Biden…it’s as simple as that…the repubs are willing to kill for political gain and that is the cynical calculation they are making every day…to sacrifice their own voters for the next election…why can’t the NYT write that? Because the owners are also making a cynical calculation to keep in the good graces of right wing billionaires who infest this country…and let’s put it bluntly, the NYT has been sliding to the right for decades now and no one left there has any journalistic integrity anymore..the truth is the truth and it doesn’t need to be analyzed or put in context or anything else…just frickin print the truth…that trump tried to overthrow the government or that fox news is responsible for the anti vaccine bullshit that is pushed on every one of it’s shows…geez….
