    Why is it liberal media when wall Street journal is right leaning and Adam Kirsch doesn’t have any posted political affiliations?

      Because OP is the worst. Perpetually online and perpetually unpopular

      I saw this photograph of a printed article someone posted earlier. The comments called that person out for cropping out the actual article, which was measured and nuanced, and using the headline as ragebait. Dude here just elevating to the next level of ignorant

      Here’s the actual article

          Hey TB, do you occasionally throw out comments from a [far] right perspective, and perhaps subsequently delete them?

          You certainly ruffle feathers, but it would be unique behavior to be such a prolific left-wing poster yet sometimes randomly do the opposite. Have been enjoying Lemmy and feel it’s worth digging into potential unconventional uses of the platform.

        Yo peep their post history.

        • Pro-Obama voter (plan saved her life)

        • Capitalism lead to modern slavery in chocolate production

        • Police kill 10k family dogs a year

        Pro-Obama. Anti-Capitalism. Anti-Police Brutality.

        Maybe you’re thinking of someone else or I didn’t dig deep enough?

          He sanitizes his post history. I’ve had several interactions with him to the point that I remember his name. Everything in my inbox that has his name says that content can’t be found.
