The same worthless media liberals who never break stories, who never do any reporting, who just sit around mimicking each other every day - speaking only to and for one another in servitude to Dems - all write the same articles because they're all hive-minded empty herd animals.
Every one of these outlets - The Atlantic, The New Yorker, HuffPost, Vice, Vox, CNN, Daily Beast, NBC, NYT tech reporters, Brooklyn-based liberal digital outlets - write the same shit every day, with the same trite ideas, no dissent, just worthless platitudinous liberal shit.
They're always on the exact same side of every controversy. They all launder the same lies. All their sources are the same: they call the FBI and CIA and Adam Schiff and liberal tech execs and all write whatever they're told to write, knowing any dissent destroys their careers.

A prolific American user of TikTok (LukeDavidJohnson) urges skepticism about the stated motives for why the US Security State and both parties are so eager to ban the app, one that 100 million Americans voluntarily choose to use. Even if you support the ban, it's worth hearing.
Here's Part 2. ACLU's argument for why a USG ban on TikTok violates the 1Am is it denies to Americans the ability to communicate on an app the USG doesn't control (as he says, the same reason they hate New Twitter). Not everything done in the name of anti-China sentiment is wise:
One thing worth remembering: the US Govt (DoD, NSA and State) constantly works to allow citizens of other countries it wants to destabilize to use the internet freely: free from control of their governments. All other platforms (except perhaps New Twitter) has USG control.
This person is undeniably one of the most influential Dem Party thought leaders: the explosion of his platform is due to liberals; Bush-era liberal bloggers spread his Word; to CNN and MSNBC hosts, he's a wise statesman; and the views he's always held are now Dem Party orthodoxy:
What's most bizarre is that @BillKristol -- along with other key advocates and architects of the worst US crime of that generation such as @DavidFrum and @NicolleDWallace -- run campaigns demanding "accountability": for Trump, but *never* for themselves:
One bizarre and twisted part of neocon culture: it's more nepotistic than Hollywood. Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, Robert Kagan and his wife Victoria Nuland, John Podhoretz - so many - owe their careers to famous neocon parents. It shapes their worldview:
Hunter Biden just sued the Delaware repair shop where he left his laptop for invasion of privacy and distributing his data.
The obvious premise is that the laptop was real and it came from that store - the exact opposite of what all corporate media claimed for the 2020 election:
There has been a mountain of evidence proving all the materials used by the NY Post to report on Joe Biden were authentic. Now Hunter Biden admits it and that it came from this store.
**Not one outlet** that spread the pre-election "Russian disinformation" lie has retracted it.
Permit me to explain why not one corporate outlet that spread this proven lie -- these materials were "Russian disinformation" -- has retracted it.
Retracting errors is what legitimate journalists do.
A huge number of employees of media corporations bearing the HR title "journalist" are now very open and candid about the fact that they are Dems, promote Dems, and want Dems to win.
On any given day, look at the time-line of NBC News "reporter" @oneunderscore__. It's the DNC's.
Axios fired the reporter evidently who responded to the DeSantis tweet with such a blatantly partisan response (he would never, ever respond to a Biden or Gavin Newsom email that way).
Media outlets are going to be facing dilemmas like these a lot more:
Many take credit for this but I started writing back in 2006 in opposition to the fraud of journalists claiming "objectivity." My 2013 exchange with NYT editor Bill Keller was on this: journalists lose credibility with the conceit of objectivity.
Finally - as a result of DeSantis' statement - the fact key sectores of the two parties now have radically different views on foreign policy and militarism, and Dems are almost unanimously united behind neocons, is becoming clear:
And it's funny how 3 weeks after the NYT trumpeted how ideologically diverse they are by hiring a new conservative (@DavidAFrench), he's heaping praise on Biden for being so much "stronger" on Russia than Trump and DeSantis.
Weird how often NYT conservatives herald Dems.
Every time @BillKristol wants to gin up support for his favorite new war, he proclaims it "the defining foreign policy issue of our time."
That Trump/DeSantis are getting attacked by Kristol, Lindsey and Liz Cheney shows he's on the right track.
I've seen this same thing in parts of Western Europe and most definitely Brazil:
If you convince the elite sector that what they're fighting is so singularly Evil, and that therefore they and their cause are so Just and Noble, they will conclude power, literally, is justified:
"We have to become authoritarian and despotic to defeat authoritarianism and despotism" --
It's shocking and scary how easily you can get people to embrace that view. That's what made the notorious Sam Harris video so important: he laid it out perfectly:
One of the things I appreciate about the censorship debate in Brazil is it's much more honest.
In the US, nobody can admit they support censorship, so they need euphemisms: "we just want content moderation."
In Brazil: "yes, we will censor, because we're Good and they're Bad."
