YES I FUCKING KNOW YOUR SCHOOL FAILED TO TEACH YOU CRITICAL THINKING AND IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT AN ARTICLE IS ANYMORE BECAUSE CAPITALISTS HAVE MADE A KILLING ON TURNING INTO TABLOIDS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE SOME DWEEB ON TWITTER A NEWS OUTLET BY COMPARISON. Everyone is now a content monkey for digital fiefdoms. It's not a liberating scenario, it's not democratized media, it's only "news" for the most insufferable trust-me-bros.

Please fucking use imperialist propaganda. Grayzone and CounterPunch are shit, even when compared to the most compromised Operation Mockingbird newsrooms. The Anglosphere left does not have (consistently) good media, and the best publications don't compare to the social media pace of other outlets. The end result is that all leftists have to read between the lines and be little Gramscians. There are many fellow travelers in print media that manage to put out good reporting on the issues that matter. Their contributions aren't useless just because their editors are Fed-adjacent.

Sorry for the caps but it feels deserved since about 50% of all "news" posts have been twitter screenshots of the fog of war in Ukraine.
