I'm so sad about this. Her voice is sorely needed right now, at least we have everything she wrote.

Joy Reid said much the same - that her and Dr. Angelou's voices are needed right now

Full headline? "Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism, World Laughs"

Responsible moderate Nazis are probably in the same place as all the responsible, moderate Da'eshi. Might that be Erewhon?

I subscribe to WaPo and the NYT. I seem to only be reading one of those more and more these days. Sorry, Times. You are one click away from losing a lifelong reader and subscriber. Just stop it.

embarrassed to say that I was not reading the NYT during Whitewater, as I was entirely focused on my double major in Keg Stands and Mistakes Were Made.

Was thrilled to see it. And then Alex Seitz-Wald tried to subtweet them with some straight bullshit ("that's like cutting off your electrical service after one brief outage" or something else that ignored the years of crap work product), and Jentleson broke it down for him most elegantly.

This has been my mood for so long now, all this meme is doing to me is making me want a melon-soda float.

The New York Times, and other major organs of the "mainstream" media, just like the major organs of the wingnutty media, are owned by rich people.

The higher-ranking employees of both sets of media are also rich people.

The Treason Party (fka GOP) consistently gives big, large, fat, enormous, gigantic, ginormous, budget-annihilating, horse-choking, elephant-choking, brontosaur-choking, Galactus-choking tax cuts to rich people.

OTOH, if the mainstream media told the bitter truth about the Treason Party, hordes of enraged citizens might flock to the polls and vote Democratic.

And then the Democrats, encouraged by such results, might, just might, actually dare to raise taxes on rich people.

Which of our two major parties do you think the rich people of the mainstream media would prefer to hold a preponderance of power in our country?

Occam's Razor, folks.

They are not stupid. They are not craven. THEY. ARE. BOUGHT.
