Being “OK” with something doesn’t make it right. It could just mean a lack of conscious or integrity.

She is not a Journalist, she is an Opinion Columnist

She just needs to understand the difference.

There is no such thing.
You can be liberal or conservative or whatever, but once you come to the office you are a journalist.
Period.
How would she like it if the bartender or restaurant owner of phone shops owner refuses to serve her because she is hard core, fanatic Democrat?

I actually don’t disagree with her. Not at all, I don’t think. The history of journalism as being partisan goes back to the beginning of the republic. It’s the insufferable pretense that it’s not so if what aggravates me

The difference is that we used to have a choice, most cities used to have two newspapers, one was generally more conservative than the other.

I would love to come out of my Heidi Hole and yell at this propagandist.

This woman is too deranged to realize how useless she is to this planet.

I agree. But there may be people who are close to being a Journalist but can you give me their names?

The list of nonpartisan investigative journalists is a short one.

most are ‘propaganda repeaters.’

Everyone has some bias and that will filter in to one’s writing to some extent. But real journalism tries to be better. You should try to cover events as objectively as possible. And you shouldn’t write as if it were a team sport with you being on one of the teams. That’s the real problem. Leftist and establishment journalists are often pushing an agenda.

The Times hasn’t been a great newspaper since I was a kid and that was a long time ago.

“I have chills.”

If only this God-forsaken country just had “chills”. What it has is 4th stage metastatic cancer and there are no competent doctors left in the house. And people like this foul woman are the root cause of the terminal illness.

I would read Glen Greenwald and see what you think. He is a world better than any of the partisan Democrat/fauxjournalists that get all the airtime.

I’m okay with her being fired. Cuts both ways.

So what do they think it is that makes their opinion something that we should care about? Everyone has one and most are garbage. The privilege of sharing has to be earned. And we know that their bias distorts and omits facts that we might consider important, making the news value of what they say absolutely worthless. So what, exactly, do they bring to the table?
