I believe that Biden was one of the better presidents of the last few decades, that any self styled "progressive" voter who either abstained or voted for a third party candidate deserves blame, that the US media in general and the NYT in particular should focus more on Trump's unfitness for office, and that the Trump regime is a right wing authoritarian horror.

I also believe that effective opposition to Trump and his supporters requires -- amongst many other things -- frank discussion of the shortcomings of the Biden candidacy last year, and that to lambast Michelle Goldberg as "complicit in fascism" does not advance this discussion and is grossly unfair to a thoughtful progressive journalist.

So much for the USA as a bastion of free and fearless journalism!

That Teen Vogue has become an important publication for US progressives is notable in itself.

From the Edges of a Broken World – Guernica

https://www.guernicamag.com/from-the-edges-of-a-broken-world/

At the foot of a page now largely blank because Guernica editorial staff do not want you to read an Israeli writer's essay, the magazine asks for money if "you value Guernica’s role in this era of obfuscation".

Have these people no sense of the ridiculous?

I wonder if there is any link between this failure and the new editorial leadership at the WSJ.
