NYT is both the shitter, and the product, because they believe their own bullshit (writers).

So the NYT and other media outlets have a history of combing through anyone who doesn't agree with the far-left agendas past, and outting them for the worst things they said (out of context, and with no idea of scale). (If not directly, then through proxies like MediaMatters). They think this is speaking truth to power, ignoring that they're the power. Well, now that some have flipped it, and done it back, they're outraged! Warning: people are going through our "journalists" old twitter feeds and social media, and finding out that they're partisan douchebags, and exposing us for who we are. While I'm not a fan of the technique, I wasn't a fan of it for the last decade or three that the media has done it... and now that they're getting turn-about, it's hard for me to be as outraged as I once was. What did you think was going to happen? We warned them to cut this shit out, but they didn't listen. Now that it's become an accepted norm, it's only just desserts that they're not immune and getting it back.


Here's the outraged NYT headline: "President Trump’s allies intended to harass and embarrass individuals affiliated with several leading news organizations"... translation: "waaah! After two years of our tireless harassment and misrepresentation of anyone on the other side, they're doing it back!". Well fuck you. You replaced journalistic standards with gossip and anonymous single sources, and speculation and opinion, and the worst thing you could find on people (out of context). So I have no sympathy that you're going to fall victim to your own standards. No immunity just because you claim to be "the Press".

Examples:

  • Kyle Murray (Football) was attacked for bad tweets when he was 14.[1]
  • Joe The Plumber [2]
  • Jumping on the Nicholas Sandman (Covington Catholic High School) furor early. [3]
  • HanAssholeSolo [4]
  • Kyle Kashuv (Parkland teen and Second Amendment activist) [5]
  • Kevin Hart did some Homophobic Tweets (several years ago), and was forced to step down as Academy Award Host [6]
  • Elizabeth Lauten FB'd that Sasha and Malia should "Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar"... and so was driven out of her job. [7]
