Elon Musk, who recently stepped down as the head of DOGE, has been flooding his X feed with criticism of President Trump over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Yeah, I have to chuckle at lots of “wellaxetually” types that like to play the Enlightened Centrist ™ that pop up nearly on any given forum to lecture the likes of me when I openly mock the notion of a “liberal media”.
When I ask just where the fuck this supposed “liberal media” is, I usually get a lot of bafflegab that leads almost nowhere. Often they point to bullshit sites like that one that do nothing to consider the broader spectrum or ideas like Chomsky’s where he has pointed out that very strident arguments tend to be allowed between a very narrow and confined range.
And so a website like Wonkette is ranked as “far left” by such types, LOL. When nothing on Wonkette comes even close to the far left, LOL. It’s just that most of the media landscape is dominated by extremists like Faux, and set up as a contrast to the news outlets of megacorps and their values…which both have nearly the same exact values. The Faux wing of that “spectrum” just comes with more homophobia, transphobia, race-baiting, misogyny, etc…
