[quote=Anonymous]Yep. We got Youngkin here in VA because the "elite media" didn't tell us the truth about him.

[quote]How the New York Times laundered right-wing propaganda in a piece about Glenn Youngkin
The report featured a "Hillary-Biden" voter who's gone Republican. But some key context was missing.

A New York Times report published Sunday describes the “palpable” energy among supporters of Republican Virginia gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin with an anecdote from a man who is presented as encapsulating the rightward shift Virginia is experiencing. But his anecdote actually ended up illustrating how propaganda can be laundered into news reports.

The article, by Jeremy Peters and Matthew Cullen, quotes Miller, identified as a lawyer from McLean, as saying he decided to support Youngkin because of the exact school-related concerns that Youngkin describes as the defining issue of his campaign.

There’s just one problem — a few minutes of vetting revealed that Miller is actually an activist who mostly supports Republicans and has a history of publicly opposing critical race theory (CRT).[b] But none of that gets mentioned in the piece.[/b]

Republicans know how to attack the New York Times. But the New York Times lets itself get used by Republicans.  It's gross. And it's harming us.
