Well the reporter lost her job. I’ll wait for all the reporters that wrote about the Russian dossier to do the same.

Geezus, she quit first of all and secondly Do we really need to go down the road of which side is worse? It doesn’t matter...this shit needs to stop

Agree and she ‘resigned’. So what are we upset about again.

What is more Orwellian is the changing of language that has been going on the past 20 years. That is much more disturbing than a silly article written by a mostly tabloid publication about what is really a non issue.

This is satire from the New Yorker. But it is funny.....

Marjorie Taylor Greene Attacks Biden’s Plan for Free Preschool: “I Refuse to Go”
Speaking to reporters, the Georgia congresswoman said that she would rather “hold my breath until I turn blue” than attend such a school.

I think if this has happened once and was caught, think of the number of times that it has happened and not been caught by numerous publications. Promoting propaganda under the guise of news is scary on both sides.

I agree. However the manipulation of language is more concerning than a publication that is not taken very seriously by many.

If you are so outraged that you are willing to resign, wouldn't you do that BEFORE you published the article you were so upset about being "made" to write? That seems like a problematic timeline for her moral compass.

The reactions from the Wokesters and the supposed caring left over Tim Scott’s wonderful rebuttal to Dementia Joe’s speech the other night is extremely instructive.
Calling Senator Scott “Uncle Tim” and “Uncle Tom” is ludicrous and Racist as hell. If folks on the right called Raphael Warnock that there would be amazing outrage from the usual media suspects like WaPo, NYT, and the networks. Rather “fact checker” Kessler of the WaPo publishes a demeaning screed about Scott’s family background that doubles down on the racism.
It’s unbelieveable but pretty on point for the “Party of Tolerance”. There was even a Tweet to Scott from a guy I recognize as a Xavier fan, who I think has posted on this board, who called our Black, articulate, US Senator from South Carolina an “Idiot”. Yes. So empathetic to a guy who went from picking Cotton to Congress.
You’ve shown your clothing hypocrites, and it isn’t pretty.

We have known this about the left for a long time now. It’s just worse now

It is hard for me to take your rant on the lack of civility in modern politics seriously when you start it off by referring to the President as Dementia Joe.

I was literally going to type the same thing before I saw your response. It's amazing.
