Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

    This is why the right (and the Enlightened Centrists ™ ) get so flummoxed if you ask them just where IS this supposed “liberal media” I hear so much about?

    It definitely is not ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, PBS…

      Yeah, it is. Liberal ≠ Left wing

      Neoliberalism (which is the kind of liberalism practiced in the US) is a center right to right wing ideology.

      Just because something is to the left of literal fascism doesn’t mean it’s left of center.

        Neoliberals are rich and/or influential in higher echelon.

        There are regular liberals. Who are definately left to far left of center. We’re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.

          Those aren’t liberals. You’re conflating what the word means with the incorrect usage of the billionaire-owned media.

          Here’s Phil Ochs accurately describing liberals from a Left point of view

          We’re just more neutral to the economic system and more into preserving human rights.

          That doesn’t make any sense in a capitalist world where a lot if not MOST human rights violations are allowed to go unpunished because of economic considerations. It’s just as bad as the “social liberal economic conservative” bullshit.
