In any case, calling out NYT publishing the story using this source is valid, but feels you guys are more concerned about optics of your candidate than the morality of hacking and using a very biased source. Almost like you are more angry that people reported it than anything else.
Quote:I know most people are well aware the NYT is no beacon of progressive thought - to say the least - but this is a shockingly textbook example of ratfucking, with the paper of record bending over backwards to work with and protect far-right sources to try and smear a Muslim democratic socialist via stoking racial animus (and also playing into anti-affirmative action beliefs on the right.) Take this as an example of the kind of lengths institutions will go to to smear Middle Eastern and leftist public figures, and remember it going forward. Like a lot of you I grew up in the shadow of 9/11, and I really pray we don't fully backslide into Bush 2-era news climates.
