NPR Editor Doesn't Seem To Get It

JAMIE O, POLITICAL CRACK, SO CALLED LIBERAL MEDIA

APRIL 12, 2024
JCO

A mind-boggling genre of political think piece that somehow has not been killed by Donald Trump and the American right is the “actually, it’s the left who are the real problem.”

The Very Serious and Sensible Centrist Minds of the Great American Discourse is seemingly obsessed with this. For example, in the summer of 2020 while the world was dealing with the worst pandemic in 100 years and thousands were dying, AND there was an all-too-brief reckoning about how Black Americans are treated in this country, these folks had signed the Harper’s Letter. The letter, you see, declared that THE REAL PROBLEM in America at that moment was not our fellow Americans dying horrible deaths while a Republican president dealt with it by being totally insane. Gosh, no, the real problem was cancel culture, because some people were mean to a children’s book author for being a transphobic shitbird on TwitterX.

One of the patron saints of the so-called fight against cancel culture was/is Bari Weiss, who declared herself cancelled by quitting her job because she was fussy there were editors and how dare they edit her. She then started a few other businesses, including a scam college so like-minded people can be free from those nasty people who try to make them feel bad about supporting the killing of Palestinian children, and her new online publication, The Free Press. This is what cancelled means, apparently.
