A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

LoL. I guess manufacturing consent for wars does absolutely nothing to harm their credibility. This list is dogshit.

The New York Times has been a full-throated government mouthpiece since at least 9/11. At this point, Teen Vogue has more credibility.

This person thinks that Ukraine invaded Russia, FYI.

Yeah, but that doesn't make them wrong and the NYT

[…] that doesn’t make them wrong […]

Nice catch of their strawman 😉

If you have evidence of them lying, you're more than welcome to submit that on the discussion pages. I don't know which articles you're referring to, but given my historical knowledge of wars in the Middle-East, they likely sourced US mouthpieces or analysts, rather than making the claims themself

LoL. Are people unaware of the NYT’s culpability?

Acting as a stenographer for the state isn’t “journalism.”

He asked for sources and you just act superior and yet didn't provide sources.

The sources

Take those with necessary salt and tequila if wanted. One of them is literally "nyt is mean to apartheid musk"
