A New Politics Thread

can someone sum that up for me...i dont give the washingto magapost money

Soccer journalist Grant Wahl died in Qatar of a "heart embolism" on the same day he criticized Qatar's savage mistreatment of migrant workers. 

He's the guy who wore a pride shirt and was denied entry on the first day of the tournament. 

He was murdered, plain and simple.

But hey, Qatar is our "ally" in the region, so rugs will be swept under.  Plus he's a fag lover so MAGA will say he got what was coming and how dare he shine a light on such matters because we have to respect their culture no matter how brutal or regressive it might be.

you are thinking of the times...not that you read either

[Diomedes]

Him skim twitter, know everything.

[MDS]

i read specific reporters that i know to not be maga sympathizing clowns...the national political media is repugnant and its not easy to find good ones

[ice grillin you]

the post is amazing....end of conversation

[Diomedes]

The Washington Post is a great newspaper.  If I were rich, I'd have the NYTimes as well.  But I'm not, and for me the Post has some local-ish reporting that's NYT does not.  I also subscribe to the Baltimore Banner, a new non profit thing that sprung up after the Sun finally became irrelevant upon sale to a zombie fund.  Also support NPR.

Freedom isn't free.  You gotta pay for news.

i was going to say newspapers do not only = national political news...theres a lot more to it...if it did nothing else the post is worth the price of admission for its brutalization of dan snyder...but they also have a great food section for those that care...some really terrific sports writers and ann hornaday is one of the five best movie critics in the world

that said the posts political reporting is second to none

[Diomedes]

I'd add that their political coverage is unmatched and their Capital Weather Gang section is my go-to for weather.

I'd put the Post over the NYT because of how the Times has seemingly slanted their reporting towards magaville

[Diomedes]

I don't think that's a fair criticism of the NYTimes.
