the Bee gets most of its clicks pandering to the absolutely dullest caricatures of the left possible so most of their work is dogshit but occasionally they’ll punch right and purely from a comedy standpoint it’s almost always a million times better

Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

May the history of the Daily News, when it is written, reflect that upon unanimous ratification of the first contract in more than three decades, the next words uttered in the Zoom call were those of street reporter Kerry Burke: “Okay, I got a homicide. I gotta go.”

To be scrupulously fair, The New York Times simply didn't have any room between all of the articles about Hillary's emails and how transgender kids were ruining sports.
Landon Thomas Jr of the New York Times got told by Jeffrey Epstein that Trump walked into a glass door bc he was so busy staring at girls in Epstein's house and didn't print it. wild that the Times didn't consider that newsworthy.

The speed at which the Times is going from “stop buying this fucking newspaper” to “the entire board of this newspaper needs to sit before Congress under oath right now” is both hilarious and upsetting as that clearly won’t ever happen
