It’s not that the NYT

is dumb. It’s that they are so consumed by Trump hatred that they act stupidly! It is the lens through which they look at the world. And they are no more aware of their Lefty biases than a fish is aware of the water it swims in.

Plus, they simply have no loyalty to truth. In fact, if their employees are good Post-Modernists, they don’t even believe that Truth even exists! So there is nothing else to guide them but their hopes, dreams, and fantasies.

In other words, they are NOT a “news” source. They are simply a cultural mouthpiece for the Left, but they certainly are not beholden to reporting the “objective truth.” They don’t even believe that exists! There is only a Nietzschean will-to-power imposition of viewpoint.

Take Trump, for example. They say that there is a “mountain of evidence” against him, but that is mere wish-fulfillment on its part (and on the part of gullible NYT readers). They are not saying what is true, they are saying what they automatically and uncritically assume, and is be able to be forced on others, of course. It is their cultural truth, but it is absolutely not the truth.

As for the “mountain of evidence,” what does it show? That Trump’s company falsely characterized payments to Cohen’s law firm as legal expenses, when in fact Cohen was being reimbursed for making entirely legal payments to Stormy Daniels. That is a misdemeanor on which the statute of limitations has run.

THAT means that the NYT is fundamentally unreliable. Oh, they might accidentally tell the truth at times, but one is left with the uncomfortable understanding that they may be telling the truth–or they may be just unreflectively be representing their worldview–and neither of you would know it!

Bad Faith Culture Truth

Even some on

the hard Left now admit that DeSantis was right.

“And people who believe in social justice have agreed this is wrong and this is bad and exposing kids to an adult world of lurid costumes and garish makeup borders on abuse. Now, hurry up and get in the car, we’re late for drag queen story hour. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a drag queen, but maybe it’s time to admit that, sometimes, drag queen story hour is more for the queen than the kids.”

Look, Maher is by no means a Conservative. Not by any stretch. But he seems to, at least at times, say the obvious truth out loud. How very un-Democrat of him!

Look, Hillary

KNOWS how to get things handled! So it’s no wonder that she is surprised.

“Being a grandmother myself, I know how busy things can get with family and work life, the temptation to just pay money to make things go away can creep up,” Clinton continued. “But the only way to completely ensure those loose lips won’t sink your ship is to sink their paddle board if you get my drift…”

Well, yeah.

Because he IS!

An overwhelming majority of Republicans find former President Donald Trump more trustworthy than the news media when it comes to information on the Ukraine and Russia conflict.

ALL Leftism

eventually devolves into a lack of moral agency. An obvious example is the teaching of the so-called New Atheists.

Major figures of New Atheism include Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett, collectively referred to as the “four horsemen” of the movement…

But here’s the issue: If all is merely materialistically necessary, then so is my opposition. And so is New Atheism. There IS no Truth Value to either side. In other words, Dawkins and Hitchens (Hitchens died in 2011) admittedly have no truth/meaning argument at all against theism!

No matter what “team” you are on then, it is merely necessary. You are merely a product of your upbringing, education, and cognitive abilities. You no more choose your position than a nail chooses to go into a board after being struck by a hammer!

BUT, on the other hand, if there IS moral agency, the “team” I choose to be on is a reflection of my own morality, of right and wrong, good and bad.

So, it boils down to this: If all is mere reflex, any view I have is by definition truth-deficient and therefore has no meaning at all. And if there IS real moral agency, then there is fundamental meaning to my behavior–there IS “right” and “wrong.”

Atheists need to be a little consistent: If there is no moral agency, then we are just complex hammers, and there is no right or wrong–there is only metaphysical necessity. If I oppose them, that is no more morally meaningful or significant than their pronouncements! It’s ALL just sound and fury, meaning nothing.

Me? I think there is indeed moral agency. And thus there is moral meaning to our thoughts and behaviors.

I’m telling you,

EVs are collapsing. They can indeed be a great “niche” product. But the curtain opened for them and they were sitting on the toilet, crapping. They are the college professor lecturing to an auditorium who stops to take a leak just before class starts and forgets to take the lapel mic off.

I’m liking

Ramaswamy more and more.

Yes, I want Trump to be re-elected. I just think he is a safer bet. But I gotta be honest and say that I like what Ramaswamy has recently done. I like the cut of this man’s jib!

Yes, WaPo is

getting hammered. I’m not sure that it is time yet to publish their obituary, but maybe get it ready to go. Culturally, it sure doesn’t look good for them! Dead man, walking. We know what the trend is. And maybe they can buck that trend. But then again, maybe they can’t…

According to the report, not only is the Post losing $100 million a year, but it lost over half of its online engagement by the end of 2023. The signs were already there by mid-year, and the worst has come to pass. 

Sure. Except I think the worst has yet to come to pass. I suspect that this lame horse, already stumbling, will soon fall. Probably. Even Bezos will not just keep pouring money down this rat hole!

Lefty newspapers are indeed facing some pretty stiff headwinds right now. I mean, who even gets a newspaper anymore? I haven’t for nearly 25 years! A few dinosaurs still rigidly cling to the idea of getting a paper, with many subscribing online to a Lefty rag like the NYT out of hackism mingled with nostalgia. But most of us have moved well beyond even that.

A newspaper was something from my childhood, but as an adult it has only very rarely been a feature in my family, and pretty much not at all since the Internet!

Sure, there IS room for subscribing to an entertaining and reliable source–I have certainly considered subscribing to PJ Media, for example. But the age of “straight” mainstream news via a newspaper seems to be well and truly over. The dinosaurs are not yet dead, but the Jurassic age is rapidly coming to a close. And there is suddenly a bright meteor in the sky!

The persuasive power of an article is in its logical and empirical structure, not in its source newspaper or publisher!

I mean, can you even imagine a “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” editorial now? “Papa says ‘If you see it in The Sun it’s so…’ ” (and it’s ironically hilarious that that editorial propagates a lie!)

I sure can’t. Just because you see it in The Sun (or NY Times) really doesn’t mean it’s actually true. We are well past the age of reporters telling the Truth as best they know it. Now is the age of deception and cultural myths and propaganda and gaslighting.

Maybe we were always there in some ways, But at least, historically, there was a bit of a nod in the direction of truth.That’s no longer the case in regard to sources like the NY Times.
