And not for nothing, but I don’t know of a single person on “the left,” or even many Hillary or Obama Democrats, particularly after the Iraq war, “Her Emails” and our finally leaving Afghanistan who views the @nytimes as being “on the left.” cjr.org/special_report…
This notion of a “liberal media” is a meme that people like the late Roger Ailes & Rush Limbaugh skillfully used to convince their white, non-college audiences that the “lamestream media” that reported on desegregation, immigration, civil & womens rights etc was out to get them.
But the mainstream media is not out to get them. Quite the opposite. It is fascinated with them, and bends over backward to constantly try to understand them… always has. theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/a…
Which is why this discussion is happening at all.
