How is repeating information fed to you by the tech billionaire who’s platform your publishing on worth dignifying as actual journalistic effort?
They’re glorified mouthpieces.
I used to have a lot more respect for taibbi, but he’s spending that down faster and faster these days.

- dekhn 4y agoThe New York Times is an establishment mouthpiece, not Democratic. The message they regurgitate is the ongoing power of the US over the world. They happen to align with the democrats now because the democrats represent the establishment, while the republicans are trying to overturn that.
- comte7092 4y agoAh so because I was critical of them, I somehow must be all about the nytimes and Washington post? My comment has nothing to do with those outlets nor do I honestly care about them one way or another. The retorts are so obvious at this point it’s pathetic. I don’t really care why Elon chose them, I care that they are basically just regurgitating a press release and acting like it’s serious work.
