All that ball gargling really helped ya there NYT

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 74 points 8 months ago

Yep, we all knew they’d be the first victims of the Trump dictatorship. Hope selling out the country for a few months of “Biden old” headlines was worth it, rat bastards.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

They're all owned by oligarchs. Trumps tax cuts alone will probably net those oligarchs 10x more profit than the orgs they own.

Imagine writing about this dude fucking over all of the people that helped him gain power at minimum once a week for 8 years, and then thinking that it's still a good idea to do the same.

Yet another example of leopards that aren't gonna eat my face.

[-] b3an@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I fucking ADORE this schadenfreude right now.

[-] blakenong@lemmings.world 94 points 8 months ago

And now they control the media. Just like the Nazis.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Oh yea this comparison always goes over well

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

What problem do you have with calling Nazis Nazis?

[-] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 months ago
[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago

Well they can always stop being Nazis and the comparisons would stop.

[-] blakenong@lemmings.world 3 points 8 months ago

Seems like is did go over well, and you should go back to Reddit.

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This is pure Reddit nonsense.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah cause all those capitalist/imperial outlets were constantly criticizing and resisting the pentagon. \s \s \s

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 57 points 8 months ago

This is how trump repays those who were complicit in his rise.

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 52 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Which is amusing because The New York Times spent months working to get Trump reelected. And almost certainly had a much greater impact on his election victory than either Breitbart or OAN. They tanked their credibility for some cheap headlines and still got the boot. lol

Yes, they were the complicit ones I was talking about.

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 11 points 8 months ago

Ah right. Sorry I misread your comment. It’s getting pretty late over here.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

No worries. In retrospect, there was ambiguity.

[-] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 34 points 8 months ago

Jesus fucking Christ the fascism is here.

[-] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 23 points 8 months ago

Well, that's a 1st amendment issue, that's an incoming lawsuit they're going to lose

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

No, it's not.

Hegseth isn't restricting those outlets from appearing at Pentagon briefings; rather they're not being allowed to maintain an office on-site. While elevating right-wing liars such as Breitbart and OAN is obviously terrible, the other outlets will still be attending whatever propaganda rallies Hegseth holds.

I suppose if we’re going to be Russia we needed our own RT and Pravda. Ugh… We’re so fucked.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 months ago

You mean VOA and NPR?

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

I don't feel sorry for them at all. All mainstream media can suck a bag of dicks and die at this point.

[-] Beetschnapps@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yea use that broad brush to paint yourself into a corner!

No one needs to advertise the nytimes or top media… you could do better to push a hot take opinion or top media…

The issue is important.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

All mainstream news betrayed us. Please point out a major media outlet that is not a propaganda outlet for the wealthy.

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 12 points 8 months ago

How the fuck did the Huffington Post get included?

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

It's like the token liberal coming on as a guest on Fox News. They're there to be a strawman to attack and mock. Anything they say can just be twisted into, "HuffingtonPost is an obviously biased liberal hack. But see? We're being fair!"

[-] watson387@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago

Ah. Good point.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago

It's all the same capitalist/imperial trash.

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Forgot to mention HuffPost will also be getting an office.
