used to be at the forefront of investigating the government. That was then, this is now. Sullivan was in 1969. They NYT has spent much of the last decade undermining the First Amendment by going after the Dems and ignoring the crazies.

My opinion is informed by how quickly our Democracy, our "leaders", and our institutions, folded against Trump. It is informed by the fact that 34% of the electorate CHOSE fascism with their eyes open. My opinions is informed by all of the "experts" who assured me the various firewalls against autocracy would hold, then I watched them cave with barely a whimper. My opinion is informed by the fact that we now have so many billionaires calling the shots that there is a waiting list to get on the Forbes 400 (500 strong, last I checked).
