      This source is hot garbage. It’s a right-wing conspiracy theory rag

      The source is a 25 year employee of NPR. This long time NPR employee, registered Democrat, is a right-wing conspiracy theorist?

        I suspect the “source” they are referring to is Bari Weiss’s “The Free Press” with is all in on “anti-woke” as an agenda, and those that use that derogatorily are pretty much all right-wing sites for pushing an agenda.

        And yep, if you read his arguments, they are all basically rehashed right-wing complaints. He misquotes the Muller report for Bill Bar’s misleading summary, overstates the reliability of the Laptop, and gets bogged down in the lab leak theory without doing the sort of authentication that one would expect from someone in the media trying to show how unbiased they are vs everyone else. It’s all right wing pushed talking points.

      LOL Yeah, okay whatever you say, grasshopper. Anybody who works/or has worked there definitely aren’t right wing. 🤦🏽‍♂️ The author is making the point that they’ve moved to being more neoliberal.
