> Calling this reporting “a series of tweets” is not false but is subtly demeaning to the work.

How is repeating information fed to you by the tech billionaire who’s platform your publishing on worth dignifying as actual journalistic effort?

They’re glorified mouthpieces.

I used to have a lot more respect for taibbi, but he’s spending that down faster and faster these days.

As opposed to the fiercely independent journalists at the New York Times and Washington Post who would never regurgitate Democratic Party propaganda? Give me a break.

I'm sure Elon chose them because he thought they were sympathetic. So what?

Ah so because I was critical of them, I somehow must be all about the nytimes and Washington post? My comment has nothing to do with those outlets nor do I honestly care about them one way or another.

The retorts are so obvious at this point it’s pathetic.

I don’t really care why Elon chose them, I care that they are basically just regurgitating a press release and acting like it’s serious work.

The New York Times is an establishment mouthpiece, not Democratic. The message they regurgitate is the ongoing power of the US over the world. They happen to align with the democrats now because the democrats represent the establishment, while the republicans are trying to overturn that.

Anything you disagree with or wish to disbelieve is "Democratic Propaganda", as opposed to the truthiness of Fox News amirite
