If the party … gave us. What “Democrats”specifically are you talking about and who could they “give” you? It’s this kind of passive political whine that got us here, not some mythical Democrat Daddy you’re waiting for. Find the candidate you want and work for them.

“There’s no point” in insisting on the truth? This is how we got here. Sorry your job is hard.

And why is no one asking the Times why they don’t say the same thing to Trump? Oh, right. He sells newspapers.

To be fair, tv and movies could often be much better. But I agree armchair crit isn’t helping.

Or put pressure on media to provide more accurate headlines.

If NYT asks why I ended subscription, look to AP for how to do better (WaPo printed it, but didn’t feature it):

Smart and elucidating analysis. I think the other observation that’s relevant is that Trump has been very very good for the Times’ bottom line. Their approach will earn them money because even liberals will click on anything about Trump. The often inaccurate headlines build on this phenomenon.

I’m confused. Terrible headlines is an unsolvable problem?

DJT gets more clicks than Biden (or democracy, for that matter), from both sides. NYT makes money off him, so integrity starts to look like a sucker’s game to these people.

Are they the same as these I found a couple years ago? They were amazing.

So the ones who thought government was evil still think that. Hmmm.

If Tom of Finland did Fassbinder’s PR … When Querelle came out, it played at the Castro Theatre, and Brad Davis was there on stage (among others that no one even looked at) for the discussion. An amazing night.

We were the (almost all-gay) Pansies pitted against the local (almost all-male) dairy worker Muff Divers. Neck-and-neck, one of them stood up to point and holler at us, “You’re going down!” Our response? “That’s YOUR job!” Wild acclaim, but both teams lost (on a sports question, as I recall).
