NYT is as complicit in this as anyone.

It’s too late NYT you lost credibility in all ethical regards over the last year. The dearth of basic journalistic ethics (in regards to several civil rights issues) has been truly breathtaking.

FREE America from AIPAC.

As a long-time listener of this podcast, I must say this segment is just sad. Y'all are acting like AIPAC hasn't had an outsized influence in our politics since last century. ¿WTAF?

I feel betrayed by New York Times and the Daily

Something that also should have been noted - this district was redistricted recently. So it contains more of Westchester, the wealthier area where Latimer had served as as a county representative. It also contained less of the Bronx, where Bowman is extremely popular. Bowman received like 84% of the vote in the Bronx, but it was a smaller slice of the pie this time.

NYT's willing to be honest about this?
-
Interesting way to put it....when Russia or any other country does it, it's "election interference". When Israel does it it's acceptable. AIPAC needs to register as a foreign agent as is required by law for any lobbying done on the behalf of another country.

Genocide is the crime of crimes. It is a great and sobering evil that requires good people to stand up for what is right. Jamaal Bowman did that and was punished for it.

Fascinating interview.

Look, Ma, Der Neue Stuermer remains Der Neue Stuermer. I never understood why it is called the NYT.

God bless Israel.

Aipac and the voters sent bowman home tonight.

This is how the shareholders select who will govern us. 🤨

History will not forgive.

It’s extremely disappointing to hear you guys double down on your widely discredited Hamas Sexual Violence article.

Is Bowman more of an idiot if he knows what a fire alarm is or if he doesn’t?
