My recent suggestion<\/a> that observers with more time than I believe the mainstream has gone into the left corner evoked a reaction from a reader and old friend:<\/p>\n

This, however is bullshit: “While there\u2019s been concern that The New York Times and WaPo have been captured by extreme-left journalists”. Not Even Close. Both are total normalizers of GOP insanity and total apologists for capitalist class warfare on the masses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Being a subscriber to WaPo<\/strong><\/em>, I can state that right-wing madness is reported and marked as such by the journalism side of the house. I do not subscribe to The New York Times<\/strong><\/em>, but, as I understand it, for a while they were far gone left, which would imply a close examination of the right.<\/p>\n

Whether or not either is thorough is another question, one that I haven’t the time or inclination to answer.<\/p>\n

The opinion side of the houses differs. I’d imagine Marc Thiessen, a WaPo<\/strong><\/em> columnist and Trump partisan who once wrote a column proclaiming Trump as the most honest politician ever, is still soft on Trump – but I haven’t read any of his stuff since at least 2020.<\/p>\n

But if opinion is important, WaPo’s<\/strong><\/em> Dana Milbank bangs GOP<\/strong><\/em> heads together at every opportunity.<\/p>\n

The assertion that Both are total normalizers of GOP insanity and total apologists for capitalist class warfare on the masses<\/em> strikes me as characteristic of someone with a strong ideological orientation, and I’ve noticed that such folks tend to view the media in a very binary manner – they’re with us or against us<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There’s little room given to the possibilities of being wrong, even that the media is trying hard but has the unfortunate attribute of being, well, human<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
