The decision is a major victory for Republicans, wiping away a measure approved by voters to allow Democrats to gain as many as four House seats in the midterms.
The Republicans are about to gerrymander all the black representatives out of the South, so it’s going to be a very uphill effort for Democrats to win a majority int he House, even if 60% of Americans vote for Democrats.
I mean, they have biases in certain areas, but they’re one of the few news sources that does any actually reporting anymore vs regurgitation. What sources would you prefer?
I don’t agree that they don’t do regurgitation. They do some reporting also, but its always from a very narrow, specific neo-liberal framing.
And for this particular article, there are at least 100 other sources you could use? Any of them? Maybe one local to Virginia or one that broke the news?
The issue is the reflexive turn to legacy news sources like NYT or WAPO that have a specific framing which objectively supports the capitalist class; the treating of these sources as “the real news” and everything else like local news, international news, or smaller sites like DropSite, as not legitimate.
We really need to purge billionaire owned heavily corporate media from our diet.
