in hindsight the NYT anti-trans crusade is one of the most despicable things that any big time journalism outfit in this country has ever done. a perfect and clearly intentional layup for the fascists on the Supreme Court

the whole thing was clearly the project of a handful of top writers and editors, it was horrendously dishonest from start to finish, both in the numerous specific lies and the lie that the project was "just asking questions" rather than genocidal bigotry

btw the "pretend a right-wing activist is just a Concerned Citizen" is the go-to move for crypto-reactionary NYT people. Jeremy Peters did this for a militia member at Charlottesville, I pointed the error out to him on Twitter and he blocked me theracket.news/p/how-the-ne...

NYTimes: affirmative action for mediocre editors angry at MeToo
@originalist.bsky.social

Repeatedly, because conservative white men keep hiring and promoting mediocre "affirmative action" legacy hires: "Six - SIX! - “lifelong Democrats” and “former Obama” are actually elected Republicans" "New York Times' ongoing "undecided young voters" focus group works at a Republican consulting

NYT editors pushing their supposedly "common sense" narrative through "undecided voters" who turned out to be actual Republican operatives but the NYT either didn't do a basic Google search check of them or purposely used them to push a narrative they wanted about Democrats

That was a really good article, and the reason I won't pay NYT anymore. They are on the maga side. Do they believe the maga kool-aide or is it just about greed? Why does media support someone with those bigoted and ignorant policies who would fine, imprison, or even kill them? Racism and greed?

Lmao my dilbert-guy-following Bernie-to-trump former coworker trotted that example out. I found her FB profile and screenshotted the punisher skulls and confederate flags. Huge L for the NYT

I mean, it's also the same playbook the pig of the pornhub hit piece used to interview the spokeperson of the totally-not-cristofascist ogranization as a neutral expert Or the same they used for all those roundups with undecided voters so much on the fence they all sounded like campaign operatives.

Pretty funny that you can say this but there were a LOT of trans folks and allies and so forth that got booted a few months back for saying this same shit

The poster doesn't even try to link the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally with Confederate statues. The poster art is taken from old Soviet poster art for the Leninist youth organization Komsomol. They're clearly reappropriating vanguardist imagery for the far right.
