Yeah this article is a good example of how negative polarizaiton affects journalism, too. The fact that certain right-wing Republicans (among others) oppose warrantless spying leads the NYT to treat warrantless spying as self-evidently good!

this framing is bullshit. the piece could just as easily say "bipartisan support for reforming warrantless spying." instead it's about "right wing Republicans" and their odd beliefs. feels almost designed to negatively polarize NYT readers against reform nytimes.com/2023/07/03/us/

Entertainment. Reminds me of HS debate where you're required to debate the other side, except now it's for clicks and tribalism, not education.

Not even sure it's clickbait so much as NYT having a longstanding crisis between responding to critics who accuse it of liberal bias and those who accuse it of bothsidesism that manifests itself in uneven coverage. Plus they've long erred on the side of the security state.

Formerly anti-authority "liberals" LOOOVE the three letter agencies having control, now that The Left is in charge of them. These same people screamed that Dubya had turned America into a police state. We are surrounded by degeneracy, corruption, hypocrisy, and authoritarianism. twitter.com/NateSilver538/…

I think you have it backwards. The NYT has a pre-existing bias in favor of the surveillance state.

Warrantless surveillance is needed on foreign targets? Like the foreign targets flooding in through our open border? We have no idea who they are or where they are for years Start with the basics before playing superspy
