Seriously - fuck this guy.

The entire article (not to even mention the no-endorsement ploy) is one massive spin attempt, in which he tries to appear to “get it”, and to be conciliatory, but you barely need to read any further than the micron deep surface to see how he actually feels: he thinks they’ve done/are doing nothing wrong, and it simply infuriates him that some people have tuned them out, and are tuning stuff like Rogan’s podcast in. Oh. They’re also mad that Elon stopped them from 100% controlling the narrative online (and silencing any critics) by spending a bajillion dollars on Twittter,

Likewise with newspapers. We must be accurate, and we must be believed to be accurate. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we are failing on the second requirement.

The guy clearly thinks they only suffer from the second problem he laid out - i.e., it’s not that they aren’t reporting professionally, unbiasedly, truthfully, it’s just that the big bad right and Donald Trump have convinced the unwashed masses that they’re lying. Yeah… no. For the last 8 years, all of you assholes have run near 24/7 outright propaganda in an absolutely disgusting attempt to keep “your side” in power. You were wiling to print anything - literally anything (didn’t matter if it was second hand, third hand, completely unsourced, made up, outright bullshit) - so long as you thought it would hurt the right, and help the left. You guys (for any part of the public that is actually engaged enough to pay attention, anyway) suffer from both of your “requirements”, now. You’re completely biased, and full of shit, and people know you’re full of shit.

God, this article infuriates me. I’m so goddamn tired of their attempts to spin everything. Even the no-official-endorsement stuff is absolutely obnoxious spin. Anyone that isn’t a retard knows that, of course, all these people endorse Harris/The Left. That was his whole game here: saying to themselves, “why bother giving the endorsement, when literally everyone knows it’s implicit. This way, we can act like we are being so virtuous, and garner some brownie points! Look how clever a boy I am!”.

TLDR: guy’s teh big mad that his ability to push propaganda, and control the narrative isn’t 100% as strong as he feels it should be.
