    When Nazis tell you they are Nazis you better believe them. I did not know why people are surprised by this. Trumps party made it abundantly clear that they want at least segregation back if not an ethnically cleansing.

    Kind of off topic, but what has happened to our journalism?

    This essentially is article about a tweet and how others on twitter responded to it.

      This is what news.com.au in Australia (Murdoch media) sees as peak journalism.
      They’ll regularly trawl Reddit and twitter for ‘stories’ and how the public reaction (read: 1 comment) is.

      It’s become a bit of a joke in the Australia subreddit to ask to be included in the screenshot.

        But how will i, a rural Australian know what to think if i don’t see what others think online /s

        Seriously though it’s like promoting the letters to the editor to the front pages of the paper.

        Just a ludicrous idea

      I believe it’s a result of news corpos go “free” online. People used to pay for newspapers. Good news ment good sales. Online news except few profit from ads, so now you have profit less dependent on product quality (news). If businesses can do less they will

      To be fair, journalism has always been shit since the invention of journalism.

      A few stars always shine, yes, but the industry as a whole is garbage.

      The liberal rags were in hysterical tears for 4 years of Trump and Biden is the only way to save Democracy and this is the most important election of our lifetimes and and and and

      …and the leftists told them for 8 years exactly what the result of their actions would be, and they did it anyway.

        I see though journalism in other countries than US and the standards seem way better.

    Every conversation about Jan 6 2025 I had with Republican voters yesterday was about how “Camela” had to read “something” and i bet that pissed her off. It “made their day” to see her look “super pissed.”

    Anecdotal for sure but about 10 people commented on how funny it was that she had to do something since she lost the “race”. They aren’t even gonna see this headline let alone care. They owned the libs and that’s all that matters to them right this moment.
