      ok so what I’m reading is that you’re one of those people who moved to the right and instead of accepting this about yourself you’ve decided the entirety of society changed instead

      social and technological progress will stop if we don’t get to make jokes about trans people

      probably one of the dumber things I’ve ever read

      I’ve been reading Greenwald and Taibbi for ~17 and ~22 years respectively, and in that time they have remained stalwart civil libertarian liberals, which is where I was 20 years ago, having since moved radically chibi-hammer-sickle Nonetheless, I still pay attention to them for their excellent, reliable journalism.

        LMAO

        There are better journalists working that don’t have the reactionary baggage those two have. They’re just broken clocks at this point.

          I think they’re decent fact digger-uppers, but yes ultimately they’re libs and therefore sometimes have reactionary takes. I know that going in and ignore their shittier takes.

            Yeah it’s the same way I generally view Mercoius, even if he isn’t as reliable.

              Max Blumenthal has got some dumb COVID-19 takes, but he still does some great muckraking, and muckraking is hard to come by these days.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
