F*cked up Headlines
The Gray Lady really could use some help on how to craft meaningful headlines...
I swore that I wouldn’t do another one of these too soon, but the NY Times again disappoints.
Today is a bumper crop of shit-takes. Let’s get into it…
First up, an OpEd from the milquetoast David Brooks…
I am not going to read it, but I am sure it is some “buddy” comedy infused bro-mance and people just being nicer to each other, or some fucked up center-right bullshit.
More bullshit from a token progressive
Ezra Klein really seems to have lost his mojo upon joining the Gray Lady, but now he seems intent on sabotaging Biden’s campaign. No, I am not going to listen to the pablum that is his “podcast”:
Seriously dude, STFU and quit wetting the goddamn bed, FFS.
What, more podcast shit?
Here’s a hint, it is likely stories and audio features like this. Seriously, you seem to be desirous to drive clicks and hate reads/listens.
From the WT actual F files…
Jamelle Bouie is usually worth reading, and actually, this OpEd is worth reading, but for the life of me I question the wisdom of comparing the US political environment to the rigorous order of a bee-hive. I get the reference from the article he was describing, but still…
The piece is about a powerful public figure in Texas (duh) who believes that “masters” should have freedom, and the rank and file should just be subservient.
A pastor who once said that only Christians should hold leadership positions in government, Dunn sees himself as someone who is on a religious mission of sorts and has devoted his time and wealth to imposing his ultraconservative politics and fundamentalist beliefs on as many Texans as possible.
Yeah, using religion to control the “other” is neither new, nor novel.
That’s enough for today’s edition, I gotta go pop some bread into the oven to bake…
NYT headlines are doing exactly as intended, sad to say. So much for that strong "liberal media bias."
Geoff. I always come to you for a laugh. U never disappoint. I'd double everything that u wrote, but replace NYT with WAPO. Same same as they say here. Of course, this goes far deeper than just the headlines, but those headlines are influential enough in the age of TikTok attention spans and paywalls. Keep up the good fight! (Just don't expect to be picked up now by the mainstream media :)
