I hate Threads, I don’t want to post there. People are putting on BS engagement acts there for weak engagement and acting butthurt the second they get called on it

Can someone explain to me why everyone is mad at the New York Times? I haven’t seen any real news reporting about what seems to be a widespread feeling among the Chronically Online

You know why, you just acting coy for engagement. Quit the act

I mean, you haven’t seen their entire op-ed page take a swing at Biden? I apologize if I misread it, but it really comes across like you’re asking why water is wet.
That’s not “reporting the news,” as you said elsewhere in the thread.

But that’s the editorial board. You understand how that’s distinct from what their reporters write, right?

You’re a journalist, and you’re telling me you haven’t noticed that people conflate the op-ed page with the reporting yet? I’ve been doing this 20 years now, and it’s been happening the entire time.

Annoying that Instagram continues to promote it whenever I login to that account. I don't know how else to tell them I don't care.

Frankly, I had entirely forgotten threads even exists.

Is there a labeller for various kinds of "bait" yet? I'd probably use it, even if I only see it on posts I don't mind seeing.
