re: WSJ: Site that broke Northam story is Pro-Trump backed by Republican operatives

If you’re wondering how the MSM sees this as a problem while refusing to look in the mirror, I give you exhibit A from a journalist with bylines in Politico, NYT, and The Economist

I think the evil of this Website is that it rewards people for making "slams" (or whatever you call them). Wise or careful or insightful perspectives don't generate engagement. a-hole one-liners do. The alarming q is whether we've started to interact with ppl that way IRL.

Basically even if they get it wrong like they often do, it doesn’t matter because they’re starting the conversation. Sacrificing innocent high school kids and families is a small cost to change the narrative the way they see things.

In other words, pointing out racist acts is a liberals thing. Conservatives don’t bother.

yeah, nobody cares when a partisan pro progressive site like Buzzkill "breaks news"

If there are pictures of your wife cheating on you, do you really care who took them?

Breaking news! The people that took the pictures of the wife cheating are actually pro-husband operatives. This raises questions about their motives.
