That got the unvarnished visual evidence in front of a lot of people that would otherwise have not seen it. But that's just one thing, and they've been sanewashing for years. Beyond that, both the WSJ and the NYT is a big part of the reason we're here. Maybe if they hadn't worked so hard at bothsidesing insanity and lies they would not have lent such a helping hand to the speedrun into fascism that was 47ths first year. permalink fedilink source parent
