Fuck Trump and America, but The Hill didn’t say that with the weight that this insinuates.
The story is again Americas media literacy perhaps.
Edit: lol ok everyone. Go check out all the NYT opinion pieces compared to their news. Make sure you give them the credit they’re due for not being complicit Nazis.
Garbage media literacy and the world burns for it.
Opinion pieces abuse the legitimacy of the publisher to get out stuff like this, and that’s a failing on the media platform, just like native advertising. If they don’t want to be associated, make sure the tweet makes it absolutely obvious that it isn’t the Hill saying this, but just some nobody with an opinion.
I know it doesn’t help, but the brain worm is real. I tried this last week. People are angry and I get that, my family is bipoc and our “friends” in Texas talk about reporting all the illegals they “see”. I’m furious, but that doesn’t make truth subjective. I don’t know why anyone thinks pretending that the fucking hill has anything to do with a fucking opinion piece. I don’t know why anyone thinks that platforming trash like this was intended to do anything less than generate buzz. I don’t know why people think that lending credence to that buzz has any measurable effect in any meaningful way beyond licking their metaphorical wounds. I don’t know why people believe that over-sensationalizing a best case semantic shit show is anything but playing into what the right views as stereotypical leftist tropes.
It was an opinion piece.

BTC (who knows his shit) called out @TheHillOpinion. @TheHill posted the original. I don’t see a problem here.

was it given a platform and promoted by the organization?
they printed it as their opinion. and clearly promoted it as their opinion.
you mean the weight… their own post suggests? The manipulacy!
