2018-08-03 00:58:35 UTC

2018-08-03 01:02:52 UTC  

Rumor has it /r/news has censored all discussion of Jeong.

2018-08-03 01:03:13 UTC  

Anyone know a good way to confirm?

2018-08-03 01:03:20 UTC  

It would not be surprising.

2018-08-03 01:04:29 UTC  

waht do you mean censored?

2018-08-03 01:04:41 UTC  

Probably the usual. Mods glass discussion

2018-08-03 01:04:47 UTC  

Shadowbans etc

2018-08-03 01:04:51 UTC  

yeah

2018-08-03 01:05:13 UTC  

also the /r/news post is pretty on the lvel surprisnly

2018-08-03 01:05:13 UTC  

Tbh Reddit is only worth paying attention to when it's on fire

2018-08-03 01:05:28 UTC  

Because it's interesting to see how they react to it happening yet again

2018-08-03 01:06:56 UTC  

Yeah, just looked at the thread.

2018-08-03 01:07:08 UTC  

Surprisingly highly rated. But you can see the glassing.

2018-08-03 01:07:21 UTC  

Lots of highly up-voted deleted comments.

2018-08-03 01:08:33 UTC  

Reddit may be the longest lasting mistake on the internet after Moviebob, Anthony Burch and Macintosh

2018-08-03 01:09:45 UTC  

It's clear that the narrative coming out of /r/news is anti NYT.

2018-08-03 01:09:52 UTC  

yup

2018-08-03 01:09:56 UTC  

Oh probably

2018-08-03 01:10:05 UTC  

media vs media

2018-08-03 01:10:17 UTC  

It's hard to read news from multiple sources and be pro NYT at this point

2018-08-03 01:10:19 UTC  

Also. Thread locked.

2018-08-03 01:10:28 UTC  

Doubly so when they're hiring racists

2018-08-03 01:10:42 UTC  

I'll be honest though. The NYT has been a better paper than most in their reporting.

2018-08-03 01:11:10 UTC  

This isn't a good incident for them. But they have been a bit better than, say, WaPo. Even if they're pretty biased.

scott adams met Trump today

2018-08-03 01:11:55 UTC  

Washington Post occasionally wakes up and posts something decent, and then goes back to scraping at the hole they've made in the barrel

2018-08-03 01:12:15 UTC  

There's a few sites like that actually. It's bizarre

2018-08-03 01:12:23 UTC  

also

2018-08-03 01:12:39 UTC  

such pettiness

2018-08-03 01:15:03 UTC  

Why are they so determined to go to war over an election?

2018-08-03 01:15:11 UTC  

looking into the reddit thread with ceddit. It appears most removed comments were calling out the mods for deleting other threads. And then they look random. Mostly hitting joke comments.

Here's a good deleted comment [+138]
Where did the other thread go?

Anyway, the NYT standing by this person reinforces that two things can be true imo-

Trump is a blowhard

It is totally understandable why rural whites flocked to him and believe him when he says that the media lies and hates them.

For another example, look at the contempt the VOX interviewer has for rural whites in this article:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2018/3/13/17053886/trump-rural-america-populism-racial-resentment

"Fair enough. The title of your book, The Left Behind, rubbed me the wrong way. It seems to me that many of these people haven’t been left behind; they’ve chosen not to keep up. But the sense of victimization appears to overwhelm everything else."

2018-08-03 01:15:39 UTC  

They also seem to be hitting posts about a 'white backlash' of any sort or people celebrating her staying.

2018-08-03 01:15:46 UTC  

Interesting.

2018-08-03 01:16:34 UTC  

@Beemann because they can't dare to challenge each other. Because the base lives in a bubble.

I seriously think the Democratic party is afraid of their base.

2018-08-03 01:17:12 UTC  

A mere year ago you had College Democrats defending the College Republicans and arguing the Republican speakers should be allowed to speak and they should be allowed events without getting harrassed.

2018-08-03 01:17:20 UTC  

I feel like their prior advantage is fucking them a bit

2018-08-03 01:17:41 UTC  

Without fail, the College Dem leadership would be excoriated by their rank-and-file and the SJWs on campus and they'd be forced to backpedal.

2018-08-03 01:17:53 UTC  

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar dynamic in play with the left right now.
