Why is it liberal media when wall Street journal is right leaning and Adam Kirsch doesn’t have any posted political affiliations?
Because OP is the worst. Perpetually online and perpetually unpopular
I saw this photograph of a printed article someone posted earlier. The comments called that person out for cropping out the actual article, which was measured and nuanced, and using the headline as ragebait. Dude here just elevating to the next level of ignorant
Hey TB, do you occasionally throw out comments from a [far] right perspective, and perhaps subsequently delete them?
You certainly ruffle feathers, but it would be unique behavior to be such a prolific left-wing poster yet sometimes randomly do the opposite. Have been enjoying Lemmy and feel it’s worth digging into potential unconventional uses of the platform.
Because TokenBoomer is a rightwing shill, posts nothing but anti-leftwing stuff pretending its all #BothSides.
Yo peep their post history.
• Pro-Obama voter (plan saved her life)
• Capitalism lead to modern slavery in chocolate production
• Police kill 10k family dogs a year
Pro-Obama. Anti-Capitalism. Anti-Police Brutality.
Maybe you’re thinking of someone else or I didn’t dig deep enough?
He sanitizes his post history. I’ve had several interactions with him to the point that I remember his name. Everything in my inbox that has his name says that content can’t be found.
Everything I’ve seen from OP leads me to believe they are leftist. Care to cite an example of them shilling for the right?
Centrists have this thing where they accuse anyone to their left of being all the way to their right.
You’re at +6/-6 at 3hr in. Wonder if those six downvoters checked for themselves or assumed you were fibbing.
“liberal” is used here as in neoliberal, which is rightwing and capitalist.
also in the us, democrats lean slightly right of center.
Again, if you want to conserve capitalism, you’re a liberal to Socialists. I understand classical, libertarian, social, neoliberal definitions. The consensus among socialists is that liberalism supports capitalism.
Again, if you want to conserve capitalism, you’re a liberal to Socialists.
Sooo what you’re saying is that Socialists think conservatives are liberals?
Curious to hear about the mental gymnastics required to make moderate-conservative into liberal media. That’s like hearing Trump say CNN is a conservative news org because it’s moderate-left
