Pulitzer award-winning New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet, speaking at the Code Conference on Tuesday, admits in the following interview that the progressive left in this country has no interest in civil discourse — that they’re intolerant of speech that they don’t already agree with.
Hilariously, Baquet accidentally slips up and refers to himself (“we”) as part of the Left, then quickly corrects the audience and reminds them that he’s a “journalist.”
“I think the Left should do some soul-searching too, right,” Baquet recommended. “We don’t want to hear anything that — we’ve long said this about the Right — but I think the Left, we don’t — I’m not ‘we,’ I’m a journalist — but the Left, as a rule, does not want to hear thoughtful disagreement.”
Wow. Two big truth bombs in one long sentence. a) He inadvertently admits he’s a lefty, and b) he admits that it’s the Left who are the closed-minded and intolerant of other people’s views.
LOL
Too funny!
What a tool.
Stalinists lie. Always
Not only that, but they also consider it to be a form of assault. To Liberals, criticism of them is the equivalent of punching them and they react accordingly. Poor little snowflakes.
It’s hilarious when they slip up like this.
But, they have to be gingerly about it, cuz they know what the consequences are for holding that curtain open a little too long.
bkmk
I love it when ‘Progressives’ accidentally tell the truth!
I wonder if I can score a license plate that says COVFEFE.
That would drive some people nuts since I’m in California.
That’s funny.
It may be a dead word in six months though.
Yep. They lie repeatedly over and over until it becomes the “truth”.
They knew to destroy Western Civilization (Christianity—the “God is Dead” group) that they had to tell BIG lies over and over and that the brainwashed masses would just repeat it-—like men are women, Up is Down, Slavery is Freedom, baby-killing is a “Natural” right, as is sodomizing others, etc., etc.. etc. to literally remove truth, reality and force their irrational utopia onto the little children so they will be incapable of critical thinking.
To destroy Truth (God) and Reason to collapse the worldview (Christianity) which created the US Constitution and the Age of Reason and Modern Science and ended “Slavery as a good”, they destroy virtue formation in children to promote instant gratification and vice—to make us ALL into the sodomites’ slaves; they have to make our children totally removed from Reality (Truth/God). They need dumb, ignorant masses for complete slavery and control of the NWO.
They took over “edukation” so they could destroy all the Classical Christian curricula which created the minds which created the USA. Can’t have free brilliant minds and individualism (free will) in slave/serf cultures.
Hope you get the plate. Let us know, with pix.
They are enemies of the truth.
They even cant help saying the truth, and then backing away from it.
Too late.
Covfefe is the new Adele Dazeem.
In order for Soros to buy the Left and, incidentally, liberalism, a necessary condition was the purchase of the US Democratic Party, which the writers for the Saturday Night Live satirical program also treated as facts. [Before they themselves were bought by Soros — translator]. In their show they speak of Soros as “The Owner of the Democratic Party”. One milestone in gaining influence over the Democratic Party was the adoption of the 2002 McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Law (Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002), which prohibited large companies and trade unions, which have traditionally been the main supporters of the Democratic Party, from contributing campaign money. The Republicans were less affected, because they always had the support of rich private individuals. Thus, organizations involved in campaign support and organizations created by Soros became vital for the Democratic Party. Examples include MoveOn.org, founded in 1998, the California Courage Campaign, founded in 2005, and the Center for American Progress (CAP), founded in 2003 — which sponsored Gordon Bajnai’s organization, the Together Movement — and headed by John Podesta, who was appointed as Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager. Today, there are hundreds of “civil” organizations connected to Soros surrounding the US Democratic Party, which organize, make money, and carry out political tasks.
Thanks war hero McCain.
I’m not familiar with that reference to Adele Dazeem.
COVFEFE
I put that in as one of my unused router SSID so all the neighbors will see it.
That’s funny... good one.
