I must admit this is my first time hearing about this, damn. I feel way worse for the kid.
I don’t think the press cares about the CEO as much as they like the revenue the story generates for them. It’s always about money. Same reason we see so many stories about Trump and his cronies.
A story about a child being murdered by a white supremacist could also generate revenue. It’s not just that.
They have a CEO too - this is just class solidarity.
It is not advertiser friendly.
There’s no spin that makes people want to buy. Healthcare logos are hearts.
NYT has been faking being a liberal rag though the late 20th century, but since the Trump era (2015 forward) it’s gone more and more mask-off.
While I’m here,
alook up the Behind the Bastards two-parter on How The Liberal Media Helped Fascism Win which compares the German (often Jewish-owned) newspapers in the 1930s to US news agencies in the 21st century. Spoiler: The owners and editors of the news identify way more with ownership class than working-class Jews (or in the US, anyone who is marginalized who isn’t rich).NYT has been around since before the civil war.
I’ll let you have a guess what their stance on slavery was. They always have punched left.
NYT on slavery
“Emancipation, whenever it comes, must be the work of the Slave States themselves. They must adopt it from a conviction of its necessity to their own well-being.”
I love how no one really seems to care about giving the CEO a name
Sure I’ll give him a name
The First
He doesn’t deserve to be remembered. Fuck him
Where are the street cam videos and stills of the perpetrators? Where is the reward for info? Oh yeah, if you’re not a CEO it’s not worth anyone’s time I guess.
How typical. I’m disgusted that this doesn’t surprise me.
