both the NY Times and the Atlantic are the mouthpieces of the NY/East Coast elitists, the mouthpiece of liberalism. IMHO their credibility is in the toilet.
Ha! Agree. Did you read this one?
NYT: EVs are boring
I was about to say (subscriber to NYT and Atlantic, among others) that in my experience the NYT promotes a right-wing / establishment agenda, ( anyone remember when Dick Cheney "leaked" lies to the NYT and then when asked about them claimed,
" Who me? I read it in the NYT!" ?
Of course it's an extablishment paper = which explains it's anti- EV stance. As a "failing" business, the Times' economic model is to sell to people who can read, but not necessary have learned critical thinking: " It must be factual; I read it in the Times." If the consumer can't see that it's nearly all BS engineered to attract eyeballs, woe be to them. Besides, their crossword puzzles are insane. I mostly read the Wirecutter & Science section in the Times, and their recipies are pretty darned consistently wonderful.
As for the Atlantic, the writing is so good who cares if they have an agenda?
Then there's the New Yorker, which has great writing AND cartoons, and good variety. To paraphrase Preet Bahara "
...does anyone ever finish a New Yorker article?" (guilty as charged) Yet I love the New Yorker for it's timelyness. Even the cartoons go stale quickly. So you have the Times for "current bullship", the New Yorker for a little more background and context, the the Atlantic for deep dives.
I also subscribe to Mother Jones and the Guardian, but again, they just make me upset and wish to withdraw from the human race.
Some day I hope to see/read the news an see no mention or photos of Herr Von Shitsinpants. I know what he looks like; I've heard all I need to know. But all these supposed "liberal" periodicals make money trying to addict us to that emotional juice ... thinking is hard. The brain needs lots and lots of glucose to "think". Much easier ( energy-efficient) to believe what you are told and
enjoy the hate endorphins buzz. Doesn't matter if you are pro or con. What sells newspapers is that emotional kick one gets when you read/see something = heroin is probably safer.
As much as I support EVs, they are just a transition. EVs should be trains and busses...and maybe someday aircraft. We should live high-density along public transit routes, and leave the land to farmers and recreation.
Oh, and here's a step in the wrong direction:
Flying cars
