I’m always amazed how few people know about Gamergate. It’s not only the key to understanding so many violent harassment campaigns going on today, it’s lots of the same people angry about the same stuff using the same playbook.
FYI it was SEVEN paragraphs in before Sarsour's (pbuh) was even mentioned. It was another 7 paragraphs in before a point began to coalesce. And I'm still not sure this article was about the women's March having antisemitic undertones, or bitches whining because they didn't get enough credit for doing the actual work.
It's not just about that, it's about way more. Its abour the hypocrisy of NYT activism culture and the failure of the progressive stack. Do you people just know how to spout one liners?
All you need to know is that several of them were part of the Nation of Islam. Then you can laugh at the others for not kicking out any Nation of Islam members.
Because crossposting between /r/stupidpol and /r/drama is free karma, even if the frequency it's happening at makes one or both subs completely redundant.
When I expected the author to start drawing a conclusion, I noticed that I wasn't even a third of the way through. Stands to reason, since tablet is probably staffed by all the kikes who nevertheless failed their NYT internship.
Does nobody know how to write an article anymore? Fucking christ, it reads like a fucking random page from a YA novel.
State your premise and describe what the article is going to be about.
I dropped out of J school. The reason it's written like this is because everyone who went to school to become a journalist wants to be Tom Wolfe or Hunter Thompson and do narrative reporting. The problem they all face is the fact that creative non-fiction only works when you're, ya know, good at writing.
No my problem is 3/4s of the way through the article there still isn't a story or narrative formed, unless she was trying to write an episode for HBOs girls.
It was there that, as the women were opening up about their backgrounds and personal investments in creating a resistance movement to Trump, Perez and Mallory allegedly first asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people—and even, according to a close secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade.
That same month, a group of journalists from The Daily Beast showed up at the Women’s March offices in New York. For months, they had been sending written requests to see the group’s 990 tax form, which, as a nonprofit, the group is legally required to provide to the public—and the reporters finally decided to do so in person. A representative for the group claiming that their printer was broken promised to turn them over in 24 hours and did so—but not, it turned out, before sending them first to another publication, The Intercept, which, within hours, published an article that offered a generally favorable take on what the documents revealed. “Questions about the Women’s March’s finances follow a long line of attacks against the group’s leadership, mostly from figures on the right,” the piece said, before going on to describe the papers’ contents as standard—even bland.
But the analysis eventually offered by The Daily Beast revealed a more complicated picture. It showed, for instance, that revenue at The Gathering for Justice, the organization that acted as the Women’s March’s fiscal sponsor, increased by more than six times between 2016 and 2017, from $167,021 to more than $1.8 million. It was not immediately clear how much of the increase involved Women’s March-specific funds. Other details too were omitted from The Intercept article which, perhaps due to being rushed out, never mentioned The Gathering for Justice. It’s a particularly notable omission given that the Women’s March annual report itself notes: “The majority of the 2017 Women’s March on Washington was paid for by our fiscal sponsor, The Gathering for Justice.”

The paradigm of journalism in current year is a sassy Tweet, this thing is excessive tbh

This is what actual jourbalism is tho. You can't always make a proper point in a little sassy article.

It's not a newswire report. It's a long-form piece about the women's march and its issues
(Also, far from YA, one of the writers is a columnist for Penthouse.)

That's a lot of anti Jew stuff but I don't understand why. Seems like that stuff should be dead and gone by now.
