Seems to have accelerated from bad to out of control since the Kirk death, which is looking like one of the best things that has ever happened to the fascists in charge
Dowd was fired.
I started this thread earlier today:

Just saw this:
I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source.

You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"?
My work in the 1619 Project, organized by the NYT Magazine.
Everywhere you look the purge is on. The right wing MSM takeover is complete and anyone straying outside the lines drawn by right wing talking points are being silenced.
Just a few years ago being a fascist and racist would draw the ire of the public and lead to you getting fired. Now the pendulum has swung all the way back and being anything OTHER than racist loses you your job.
