Reminder that most anti-intellectual posts are part of antisemitic bs.

Honestly and truly a large reason why I have a bug up my ass about the way people talk about newspapers online is if you look further in the notes of any given post bashing papers the unmasked antisemitism shows up pretty fast.

#here's a funny fact about the subscription price of both the new york times and the washington post #it works out to 20 cents a day #which as you know was considered a fair rate DECADES ago for a single physical paper #THAT is the greed you are so upset with #a subscription rate of $1 a week - and yes they let you share subscriptions #ffs #also again headlines are not indicative of contents they are essentially clickbait to entice people to read #and many fucking columns are written by readers #nyt modern love for example is NEVER by journalists it is sent in stories by readers #And every single indivdual post I am responding to in these tags?#had blatant naked antisemitism going on in the notes #the most recent one I saw - about a modern love article #had people tracking down the reader who submitted the story's instagram to ID if she was Jewish #only they were all using the k word to describe her in that 'hunt' as they described it #please fucking notice that you are spreading that sort of vile shit omfg #she doesn't even work for the times that column is ALWAYS by random readers and is being used as the example of why all journalists suck #and also antisemites are tracking down her social media to mock her #because she wrote up her break up and sent it in to a column specifically for sharing relationship stories?#fucking hell YOU DON'T LIKE SILLY RELATIONSHIP STORIES DON'T READ THE RELATIONSHIP STORY COLUMN #I don't fucking read the NYT myself anymore but I wouldn't fucking go to a fucking specific topic column written by readers #and point to it as proof that all journalists - as one of the people in the notes professed - should be shot
