you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

The New York Times also just kind of introduces Turning Point USA as this ambiguous entity without explaining what it is, or detailing any of its dodgy behaviors as a super shady right wing propaganda organization this kind of generous framing isn't done by accident

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

when I came into the media industry sideways via DSLReports dot com I'd get no shortage of snootiness from establishment journos who'd sneer dismissively at anybody that didn't rise through the ranks via Columbia now those very folks are the pinnacle of embarrassment when it really matters

Even the professor himself uses antifa 'group'. WTH??? “My role in this is as a professor,” Dr. Bray, an assistant teaching professor at Rutgers, said in an interview on Wednesday, hours before his planned departure. “I’ve never been part of an antifa group, and I’m not currently.

Now that you mention it you can add lawyers to the same list I don’t think it’s a matter of industry as much as it is a matter of perceived position in society, combined with a business world (society) that reinforces that behavior & attitude

My journalism professor at the University of Kansas (circa 1980s) once answered a question about Columbia like this: Student: Do I need a masters degree from Columbia to be a reporter? Professor Pickett: You go to KU to be a journalist. You go to Columbia to teach.

I do not understand how Jack Poso has become a legitimate source for any news organization. At least they need to point out every time he heavily pushed the pizzagate lie inciting someone to go to the restaurant and fire shots into the ceiling.

I don't think we can bash them enough, especially since our entire for profit "journalism" community was cowed into silence as Trump and Trumpers boo-hooed over the Terrorist CEO getting whacked. Live by the sword, die by the sword, like Jesus said, Charlie.
