In the past few years, the media has deployed its resources against:
- anonymous Redditors
- meme makers
- a forklift driver
- conservatives in tech
- high school kids wearing MAGA hats
The same journalists who were OK with that are now mad because "it's only OK when we do it."
The NYT complains that investigating its journalists doesn't count as "scrutinizing people in positions of power."
"People in positions of power" like high school kids, forklift drivers, and random Reddit users?
The NYT uses a strawman, saying reporters are being investigated because of "coverage critical of the president."
No. It's because the media is happy to use its power against ordinary, private citizens who oppose its agenda. They aren't journalists anymore - they're inquisitors.

Its Digital Services Act imposes crippling fines on platforms over disfavored speech - a tariff in all but name.
We found a trail of soft-power money that leads back to the State Department
Recent news from the EU sounds like it came from the Soviet Union.
- Political leaders arrested for liking tweets.
- Cancelling elections in Romania because they didn't like the result.
- Threatening the same in Germany
The kicker? Up till now, EU tyranny had U.S support.
The EU's Digital Services Act is the global death star of online censorship.
It can fine tech companies 6 percent of their global annual turnover for failure to comply with demands to censor "hate speech" and "disinformation."
Britain's prime minister, Keir Starmer is frantically trying to cozy up to the incoming Trump administration.
One little problem: a nonprofit founded by Starmer's top aide wants to censor Americans and "kill Musk's Twitter."
CCDH was founded in 2018 by Morgan McSweeney, currently chief of staff to UK prime minister Keir Starmer.
He's also embroiled in a foreign interference controversy after it emerged that the UK Labour party paid for him to fly to the DNC and meet with Harris.
Would be less of a big deal if 100 Labour party activists hadn't campaigned for Kamala in the swing states...
But CCDH's influence in the U.S. goes far beyond its founder's meeting with Harris.
Its staff includes a former aide to Adam Schiff, Senator-elect from California and former head of the House Intelligence Committee.
Yes, the same Adam Schiff who led the Trump-Russia panic.
