Maher has taken on a similar tone recently. It's refreshing.

I mean you've gone off the rails even for a proggy rag when you run off Andrew Sullivan of all people.

There is a struggle within most of the major papers like the NYT and WaPo between the old school progressive liberals and the new crop of woke SJWs who think the "old" guys aren't far enough left.

And the old school liberals continue to ignore that they created the monster that is now trying to destroy them.

We are already in the new dark ages where feelings and emotions drown out dissenting opinions.

It's become a sterile, dark reality.

Ya, but you're in the perfect place to just sit back and watch the world burn.

The fact that he’s now considered some sort of conservative says a lot about the left. He was great on Maher recently (as was his black counterpart). That segment should be required viewing.

Yep, it's been interesting following it. It does seem like the old guard is being pushed out.

I fully expect Brooks will be departing the NYT sooner rather than later.

You don't write a "frick you SJWs" piece like this without an exit strategy.

These people at The NY Times are the last people to be lecturing everyone on this. I agree with their message, but a new poll from yesterday shows that 62% of Americans don’t think they can be honest with their political views with only Leftists thinking they can openly express them as a majority: LINK

The NYT are largely a bunch of bullies who dox people they don’t like and they will pay for it come November.

This is how insane the Left has gotten: a decade ago, Maher was the late night host furthest to the Left. These days Maher is the late night host furthest on the Right. That is how crazy this country has gotten. Bill didn’t change, but the country did.

If that poll is true on 62% of Americans can’t voice their true opinions and only the Far Left can, Trump is going to absolutely landslide into victory. And I’m talking about winning California level of landslide. The Bay Area, Portland/Eugene, and Seattle don’t speak for the entire west coast. The people in the suburbs and much of So Cal are terrified on what is going on in their cities and be very motivated to vote. Hell a Rasmussen poll today says that Trump’s approval in the black community is at 43%. If that is even half true (at 22%) then the Democrats are fricked six ways to Sunday.

Brooks has always been a moderate voice at the times. I doubt he is forced out.
