Comment on Not only is Substack right-wing broligarchy garbage, it's way more expensive than Ghost
Buelldozer@lemmy.today 16 hours agoI wonder who would be interested in ginning up big bad-faith hit jobs against good news outlets
The author of the article. It doesn’t take long to uncover their politics and they are absolutely not involved in any right wing conspiracy.

How do you know that? Do you know them personally, or audited them or something?
I don’t know that they are, and looking over their resume it does seem unlikely. But, also, I would have said that same thing looking at Taibbi’s or Greenwald’s resume in 2017. I just know that in this story, they are presenting things in this absolutely wildly inaccurate fashion that would be right at home in a right-wing conspiracy. Certainly, working at The Intercept for a long time isn’t some kind of bulwark against being infected with right-wing-propaganda-ism, with Greenwald himself as one absolutely interesting counterexample clearly on offer.
