Is the New York Times fuckin' serious right now. (AKA another attempt to undermine Luigi's support).

They're trying every angle they can think of to avoid admitting that people didn't react negatively to this because literally everyone in the country has been negatively affected by people like that CEO.

NYT is as corpo as media can get. We must remember what side they are on. Journalism is dead.

Corporate media is going to protect their advertisers by shotgunning bullshit articles trying to change the narrative

The classic scapegoats aren't there this time. Can't blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the "crime" and that's not good to some people.

Not a criminal until a guilty verdict...

It couldn't be because we've been starved of seeing anything resembling actual justice could it?

Horrible people do horrible things and have been getting away with it since before I was born. No wonder people are reacting the way they are.

Being handsome doesn't hurt, but people like him for what he did. He could be a hunchback and there'd be supportive quasimodo memes I'm sure.

No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that's quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.

The greatest trick the Times ever pulled was convincing the world it had a left-leaning bias[1].

It's NYT. If you can't defend Thompson as being worth keeping alive, may as well play the woke race card and say we only like him because he's an attractive white male.

Anything to distract from the class war.

Stupid sexy Luigi.

His crime is one of the reasons we find him attractive. It's not being overshadowed it's being celebrated.

Frantically attempting to spin this in favour of predatory finance capitalism.

Hey NYT. Suck it.

Tens of millions of lives ruined by "just good business" is the headline.

Stop worshipping profit or everything will get worse, even if there are no violent responses.

Everybody talking about anything else in this case is lying by omission.

Post links to articles, not screenshots of articles. Downvoted and reported.

Any place that names trump person of the year is a rag. Although the NYT has been such for quite a while anyways. I refuse to even give them click through a anymore.

What? You don’t like handsome men?

Not Antiwork for me, but a great post.

Why wouldn't they be? The glamorizing of murderers, rapists, and other criminals in biopic miniseries seems to be a growing point of discussion over the past year or so.

I mean this is nothing new. Pretty white women have been treated favourably in court and by the public forever. There is a somewhat popular twitter account all about hot criminals. It's a thing and it always has been.

That had never been a problem before

Not to play devil's advocate (which is what people say beforr they play devil's advocate) is this clickbait or is there substance to the article. Bastard and innumerable others like him deserve to be punished, but I'm interested in the takr
