> I don't consider myself "on the left" but I really don't mind a publication being left of center or right of center.

As someone who is slightly left of center, it's kind of a painful place to be.

You tend to get attacked by both sides.

Personally I've just kind of checked out. I'm not sure there's actually anything relevant that gets said on these newspapers/media that you can't get from just being in online communities, and you'd have to sift through all the shit.

For example, sometimes I'll come across a Tucker Carlson video on youtube and about 80% of what he says is just biased bullshit, but he will make good points sometimes. It honestly makes me miss Jon Stewart. At least we had a means of laughing at them, now they take themselves so seriously.

And the hard on for Joe Biden makes no sense to me either, he's a sleezeball and how people can't be angry at the democratic party for putting up two horrible people in a row I'll never know.

I understand and agree with your point, but I think the word enriched is too ambiguous here. He definitely enriched the software industry, just not monetarily.

yeah, and that idea is so obvious it's a little difficult for me to understand why the original comparison was even made.

> The Clintons earned over $150 in speaking fees

Man, a whole 150 dollars, those Clintons must be making bank! :P

we as a society will move on from it at some point. It's not really about winning the cultural war, it's about the elites manipulating the population and thus using the language du jour.

20-30 years ago it would have been about family values, christian values, and down with the gays. In 20-30 years it'll be something else, but what won't change is those in power stay in power.

seriously. What next, Jeff Bezos can throw around 100 million without being accused of corruption because it's such a % of his overall worth?

I can't even think of a way that attitude makes sense.
