Not sure what is going on with TFP lately, but between the weekly bashing of DeSantis on TGIF, Suzy Weiss recommending the most asinine Washington Post article attacking masculinity, to now having Taylor Swift(!!!???) as the main topic of an article... Really unpleasantly surprised... Bari, seems like it is time that you put order here...

TFP is not a right-wing Fox inspired site. If you want the same ol' stuff, 'change the channel.' I like the variety of opinions and the nuance of TFP. It is a place where both sides can come together. And believe it or not, there are some excellent stories in the Washington Post.
Exactly because TFP "is not a right-wing Fox inspired site" or a left-wing MSNBC/CNN inspired site, I expect it to publish well researched stories. As I said on my original post, there might be stories I don't agree with, which is perfectly OK... The issue is when I see a pattern... And sure, WaPo has some excellent stories... Just the one that Suzie Weiss pointed out just ain't.
Lighten up, man. People say they want more "positive" news in their feeds. But when they actually get some they cry "the media is trying to distract us from the important issues!"
Mate - Glad you like Taylor Swift... I just say that if I wanted to read about her, IтАЩd go to Hello, TMZ or other outlets... Absolutely loved Olivia ReingoldтАЩs piece this week, BariтАЩs Honestly with Colin Campbell on Thursday and look forward to all of Douglas MurrayтАЩs тАЬThings Worth RememberingтАЭ every Sunday... but the most recent stuff has been (well) below expectations... Sorry, but if I come to a 3 star Michelin Star restaurant, I donтАЩt want to be served a McDonalds Happy Meal...
Personally I subscribed to TFP for being an unbiased, top news source... Maybe you think it is 1.5 Michelin star restaurant... still way better than McDonalds...
A writer who only wants praise should stick to his private family Facebook account. The author wanted attention, as all writers do, and apparently not everyone is impressed. That's life. And its certainly journalism.
Deidre's - In today's society, as much as it is being pushed that we need to shut up and toe the party line, I am entitled to express my opinion. Perfectly fine if this young person has a cultural experience that enriches him... I am pointing out a pattern I've noticed in TFP and I personally don't like...
Maybe you see a pattern but I, a moderate, see a variety of stories that reflect a diverse group of people. Not every story appeals to me but... that's life.
Thanks Steven. Not sure how I'm "literally taking candy from five year old girls" by expressing my opinion, but happy not to do so if you put some context in your reply.

This is not a 3 star Michelin restaurant of journalism by half

FGH, This is an article written by a young person about a cultural experience. What's wrong with that? Don't read it if it offends your sensibilities.
A writer who only wants praise should stick to his private family Facebook account. The author wanted attention, as all writers do, and apparently not everyone is impressed. That's life. And its certainly journalism.

And I will always support your right to express your opinion, even if we disagree
