In reply to the discussion: Outrageous projection - NYT "Groupthink Has Left the Left Blind" (Bret Stephens) [View all]Maeve
(43,350 posts)30. Here's what it says in the Terms of Service
Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources
Do not post right-wing talking points or smears. Do not post content sourced from right-wing publications, authors, or pundits. Exceptions are permitted if you provide a clear reason for doing so that is consistent with the values of this website.
Why we have this rule: News media and the Internet are already awash with conservative propagandists attacking our candidates and our values -- we're not interested in providing them with another outlet. We understand that many of our members might hold some conservative viewpoints on isolated issues, but nobody here should be parroting hateful garbage from the RNC, the NRA, or the Family Research Council. Forum members should expect that the only time they'll have to read a right-wing smear or an article from Breitbart is when someone is pointing and laughing at it.

Is the author being ridiculed? Quote from the OP:
This is utter bullshit - publishing it so you can see how the other side thinks of us. Mostly, it tells us how THEY think
So, yes, the author is being ridiculed and the OP is within the TOS
Understand now?

OP
Quite the spin when an incumbent lost. The left is stunned? No, it's Donnie who is stunned

I couldn't believe what I was reading in that article. The right twisting itself into a pretzel.

Douthat and Stephens typically make my blood boil. Brooks not as bad lately.

Stop putting words in other's mouths. How about letting it drop? It's beginning to smell troll-like.
