    Look, as a ML i have some problems with his takes on marxism too. But let's not forget this guy was one of the very few people who touched the Tara Reade story and was 100% on her side.

    He's a bit of lib and we should of course criticize anyone when they have lib takes. But overall, for amerikkka, i thought he's been a pretty good left leaning journalist.

        Has he been doing anti-communist shit? I'm largely off twitter so i genuinely didn't notice anything above the normal amerikkkan level of anti-communism.

          The normal level of anticommunism, from a leftist media outlet, is pretty bad.

      also worth noting that at some point he realized biden wasn't going to step down and deleted all his tweets referencing tara reade and instead urged people to vote for him

              No, and that's the problem. Keeping up multiple articles on the topic (that are easier to locate than old tweets) pretty strongly suggests he wasn't trying to bury the story. I don't know if he actually deleted any tweets on the subject -- a lot of shit people say about the guy is flat-out untrue -- but there's a glaring hole in the narrative you're suggesting.

                  And a Reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/currentaffairs/comments/hdua3x/why_does_njr_delete_so_many_of_his_tweets/

                  And this: https://twtext.com/article/1253001861365469187

                  I think this is a Rorschach test. If you dislike him, you see his behavior as suspicious. But he hasn't deleted any of the CA tweets and none of the articles.
