Oops kind of like what the military labels "collateral damage", can't get it right 100% of the time but the war is still on:

now something happened that has Sean thinking about pandering to the mob:

I remember reading about the Red Army burning things because they were from the imperialist past. Not sure it was a net win for society. https://t.co/AYh8NO8HFU

Here's the latest at the top of the home page from the new NYTimes op-ed editors

I’m a Black American. I Had to Get Out.

The racism was too much. I fled. By Tiffanie Drayton Ms. Drayton is a writer. June 12, 2020

Discuss amongst yourselves this editorial choice.

Tiffanie moved back to Trinidad & Tobago, where her mother emigrated from when she was 4. She describes the different neighborhoods she lived in in the U.S. and the things that distressed her and made her return to the homeland.

Me, I'm wondering whether I should tell my sister-in-law immigrant from Kenya that she should offer to do an op-ed why she came to the U.S. She's told me stories many times how life sucked there if you're a woman. She's fascinating to talk to. She's actually a nurse's aide but can easily say she's a "writer" too. I know she can write at the very least at Tiffanie's caliber. Yes, you can call me unimpressed with the quality and depth of what Tiffanie has to say. It might be good for Teen magazine if it still exists.

Because reform won't happen, but abolishing the police will?

The Li Fang type stuff Is awful. Re: Tom Cotton, his call to Arma should have had serious counterbalance in a time of heavy passion. Greenwald Is just obsessive - dont need Joan Walsh to hazard why. Jumped the Shark, still jumping - 15 minutes done, except in Moscow.

It's good to run pieces like this, which show us what people are thinking and commit those people to specific positions that can then be scrutinized.

In reply to I recognize there's a problem

Many of the serious professional journalists I follow all seem all in a tizzy as if this is truly the end of the world. But then I've also seen other professionals say things in shock at their behavior as childish whiny entitled and navel-gazing. And I just think it's a good topic for news junkies to think about. And Sean Lennon was just voicing his opinion on what kind of media he likes to see, and voting his preference with his subscription.

In reply to Olivia Nuzzi:

I recognize there's a problem here but I wonder how big a problem or if it's being hyped. You can find a few isolated incidents where the left has gotten someone fired. You can also find some on the left that the right has successfully "canceled." Two quickly and easily come to mind, Ward Churchill and Bill Maher.

I strongly second Ms. Nuzzi's

I strongly second Ms. Nuzzi's recommendation to read Taibbi's article: "The American Press Is Destroying Itself". Thanks for posting the tweet, Arta.
