@NYCVG ...maybe they should shut up?

We saw this EXACT SAME THING before in the '90s (or so I'm finally piecing together): Anyone who peddles pseudointellectual bullshit then turns around and talks about ACTUAL grave concerns only winds up poisoning the credibility of the latter, ESPECIALLY in a world where natural intelligence is so much more common than good education that many endowed with the former can't count on access to the latter. Hence, the South Park guys (whom I've always credited as having superb political instincts, whether I otherwise thought they were right or not) spent so long dissing global warming as "ManBearPig" - why? Because they heard about it from Al Gore, then-husband to (apparently) shrill social conservative Tipper (look up videos of "Frank Zappa congressional hearing" - there's so many results, I wouldn't know which to link). This shit leaves deep stains.

The once-great New York Times, which my grandfather read from cover-to-cover every morning of his life, faced its (admittedly unfair) demise at the hands of the Internet in the most cowardly manner imaginable: Burning every calorie of its credibility, selling off every quanta of its soul, for superficial survival.

by Kim Stanley Robinson, a book a member of Caucus 99 alerted me to months ago.

Read it and tremble.

The Times has gone all-in on climate. Trump's absence has left them with a gaping hole in topics and so they've turned to public terror that for once has a basis in fact.

@Tall Bald and Ugly

divide us making us easy prey for TPTB. Dowd is a hack, a glib hack, but a hack nonetheless.

piece, not impressed.
A diatribe against republicans dressed up as concern for the environment ensures a twist of the flush handle.
