NYT has been going downhill for a while now, and their slant lately couldn’t be more obvious. I was a reader for years but ditched my account recently. It’s not even the Biden stuff per se, but just all of the reporting quality became more about shock and drama than actual journalism. They used to be great too.
They were never great, they just started saying things you don’t agree with.
Fair enough.
I feel like your screen name is an opportunity to point out Harrison Ford saying that when “all of this is over” we can have the “luxury” of examining our actions…
The whole point of Enders Game is to avoid ethics/morality…
It’s wild to imagine the cognitive dissonance in orson Scott card’s mind. He saw some things so clearly and others not at all

What are you talking about, they never made a movie! Certainly not a terrible one!

I read even the really weird books, and none of them were as bad as the movie. They make Petra into a love interest. They also really downplay how hard ender can be, so, you know, entirely removing the purpose of the story.
This is an insane take. Is this some weird MAGA blog or something? Nothing in this ramble makes sense at all.
Its Blue Maga, but basically yes. They haven’t been picked up by a nation state yet, but give it a week and book mark this called shot.
Absolutely Russia is going to take advantage of Biden’s cult of failure. Why wouldnt they? Its the easiest way to secure a victory for Trump: keep Biden in the race.
Dafuq are you even talking about? The entire internet is so dumb now
You can just keep it to yourself dude. No need to make these throw-away-comments.
If you don’t know what blue maga is, you can:
a) look around you
b) google it
or even
c) check out the other links posted here.
You can also disagree with my assertion that a nation state will pick up on and run with Blue Maga like they did with Red Maga. Its fair to make that argument. I don’t agree with it, but its at least an argument.
But the sea-lioning. The pretending like a thing is doesn’t exist. It needs to stop.
Lol. I’m literally saying the thing. You’re just drunk rambilng, friend. Still don’t know what exactly you’re talking about, but you are clearly unleashing it on me for some reason. Take a nap.
Sorry if I mistook what you said in response. Can you break it down for me.
Also
Still don’t know daddy you talking about, but you areb
Don’t get it
Its an older meme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPz-HuiQOYk
Usually used in the form of, ok I did something wrong, but daddy chill. Also used in reference to being out of touch.
You can just keep it to yourself dude.
Oh the irony! From the both sides dude that gets downvoted into oblivion every thread.
Lol, when they say something like that, they’re really not-so-subtly asking you to quit fucking with their agenda. The disinfo doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny.
The New York Times has exposed itself as a corporation that can’t be trusted. The American people are seeing the connection between for-profit, corporate-owned media and how Donald Trump is not held to the same standard as Joe Biden.
And that’s why I cancelled my subscription.
I have never before seen a comments section that is all trolls agreeing with each other.
I think it’s an instructive exercise to read all their comments first, picture to yourself what type of article they might be describing, what kinds of arguments it might make or what examples, and then go and read the article and see if it matches your picture.
I don’t know anything about a vendetta, nor do I really care… But let me tell you, there are some very strange people in the comments of this post.
I feel like I had a stroke or something.
Blue Maga: “Don’t believe your lying eyes.”

What russian troll farms or idiots duped by Russian misinformation call the dems who support Biden.
Do you reject that in the Trump/Biden election…
CNN & NYT shut down all progressive issues, and voices that they could, as completely as they could ( & even admitted it later, one of 'em, in an interview, which is where I got their term “shut down” from ),
…so that ONLY the Biden Institution would be??
I’d wondered what the hell kind of “journalism” was going on,…
…then when I found out that it had been deliberate propaganda “journalism” suppressing as much as necessary to push their preferred institution, on their part,
…and to prevent Bernie Sanders from having any significance…
Dear, fuck, that’s was low, of them.
Journalism & what they do are “non-intersecting sets”, nowadays, as seems to be the case with nearly all “journalism”.
I think that Ground.News is categorically better, but don’t know, for sure…

Blue Maga or BlueAnon is the phenomenon where die-hard liberals sometimes fall into similar cult of personality, rejection of reality, and conspiracy behaviors that Trump supporters engage in. It’s not an entirely fair comparison, since MAGA is way more delusional, but the parallels are definitely there.
For example, a recent BlueAnon phenomenon I’ve seen is people claiming that the press is manufacturing the concern over Biden’s debate performance while ignoring recently released Epstien documents that show Trump assaulted a teen girl. In reality, the documents are from an 8 year old lawsuit that was dismissed, and the reaction to Biden is pretty organic. So, it’s not as delusional as QAnon’s satanic pedophile cabal, but it’s still pretty detached from reality, and demonizes the press.
The Mueller investigation was when Blue MAGA peaked. BlueAnon peddlers like the Krassenstein brothers breathless reported on how Mueller had evidence that Putin had crafted Trump into the perfect Manchurian candidate, and it would soon be the beginning of the end for Trump. These outlandish claims, which often got reported by MSM outlets, made the actual Mueller report (which didn’t prove a Trump/Russia connection, but found President could be charged with obstruction of justice) seem underwhelming, which is why it was eventually labeled a, “nothing-burger.” This Louise Mensch tweet from 2017 is a great encapsulation of Blue Maga:
ah, so Blue Maga is literally just whataboutism crafted by the right to distract over wanting to turn america into a fasciat christian theocracy with Project 2025.
This person thinks you’re stupid. Vote blue everyone! this person isn’t even from a democratic country!
No, it’s really not whataboutism. I first heard about it from the QAA Podcast, which examines at right-wing extremism with a focus on QAnon, in about
2017 or 2018(EDIT: actually, now that I think about it, it was probably closer to 2021/2022). They did an episode examining BlueAnon grifters and how they employ the same basic strategies as the the QAnon influencers that used to, “decode,” Q posts. Since then, I’ve heard BlueAnon or Blue MAGA come in and out of fashion a few times.Disinformation will spread in any echo chamber, which is why it’s always important to examine if what you believe is true, or just something you’d like to believe. For example, my post explaining Blue MAGA has been downvoted 19 times, but you are the only one who’s attempted to refute what I’ve said, and your response has been to call Blue Anon a right-wing psy-op and imply I’m a Russian agent, without evidence for either claim. Does that seem like reality, or a narrative you’ve constructed to reject reality?
On Reddit, r/joebiden shadow bans anyone who doesn’t fall in line. If you question Biden’s fitness or faltering polls, you’re gone. And they’re too much of cowards to even tell you that you’re banned.
If Blue Maga had their way, they would do that here too.

Yeah, blue maga loves to feign McCarthyist paranoia when they want someone to either shut up or be shut up.
Hey everyone, this is literally the same guy having a conversation with himself and a sock puppet
Like so. I say something blue maga doesn’t like, out come the baseless accusations.
They ban here by downvotes.
Dogpiles are obvious.Downvotes don’t do anything though. On reddit, it could remove your ability to post, but on here it at absolute worst prejudices the reader
Its those 16 downvotes:

Its a cult that has formed around the refusing to question of Biden as candidate, his capabilities as candidate.
Its very very very similar to the earliest stages of MAGA, which found its footing in r/TheDonald. An abject denial of any conversation they don’t ‘approve’ of, cult of personality, abusive, dergatory shaming, brow-beating to those that disagree with them, and most fundamentally: a complete dismissal of objective reality.
Its how a cult forms. We’ve seen it before if you were on Reddit at that time. Its like, shockingly similar to the earliest days of the MAGA cult.
I love how they’re trying to imply it’s just the Times causing these problems. It’s those damn unfriendly journalists that made literally half the party and multiple big name elected Democrats and Democratic operatives think Biden was a problem. A real Failing New York Times problem.
Foreigners buying into the gaslighting just make me think they don’t actually know many real life Democrats. My mom’s most normie Democratic-boosting friend has been depression posting about Biden needing to step aside since the debate, all while giving a steady stream of Project 2025 infographics. It’s not a media attack or a factional fight, it’s a real emotion from across the party because we all saw what we saw.
The Party cannot fail - it can only be failed.
I love how they’re trying to imply it’s just the Times causing these problems.
It’s depressing watching the “good” party support genocide and then start talking about lugenpresse.
Yeah, and Blue Maga wants you to deny that objective reality that you experience. In the same way Red Maga asks you deny the objective reality around DJT.
Its the same thing.
This troll is a moron. Thankfully it’s easy to block them on lemmy.
Blue Maga…
Yeah - I’m gonna steal that one…
