Wired has been NY Post-tier (of the inverse polarity) for several years, now.

    If you check my post history, I'm very left-leaning. I'm just establishment-left+woke (i.e., liberal) rather than populist-left+socialist, and Wired is populist-left. I'm the kind of person who actually likes Obama, for example. It's actually unfortunate, because a not very credible publication writing about the vile behavior of the Trump administration (including Elon Musk personally literally killing hundreds of thousands of children, and possibly millions) only serves to help them. Those particular stories may or may not be fine, but I've seen enough truly abysmal stories to not have any trust in them as an organization. Like, within one second of opening the article I already saw the headline is deeply misleading and then checked the comments here to see if anyone else had noticed (and they did). It's a joke. The article doesn't even make sense. It's like an AI-generated high school essay forced to hamfist a response to a contrived prompt.

      “Elon Musk personally literally killing hundreds of thousands of children” What’s that high quality news source you got that one from?

  Is there any serious journalistic magazines/papers left nowadays? Felt like ultimately every single one of them succumbed to the chase of the clickbait in the end.

    Ars Technica still fights a good fight, in spite of Conde buyout.
