Re: Re: Remember when TechDirt supported free speech?
Are you one of those guys that claim the "material support for terrorism" laws are right when they claim that even publicly linking to widely available information the gov't doesn't approve of is grounds to be jailed?
There are no Nazis in power anywhere in the World - so printing Nazi op-eds would be pointless.
The views of sitting US Senators or actual Chinese politicians on the governance of CHINA is something people should read about.
Reading it in the NYT is a lot easier than going to Tom Cottons web site or tracking down which politician has power in Hong Kong and reading that web page.
The leader of any important organization should be listened to. Masnick's, and others, ostrich impersonation is funny and all, but is detrimental to learning.
Re: Re: Remember when TechDirt supported free speech?
I can tell the difference between "the most disgusting op-ed I've seen" and a pampered American not willing to accept that other places are not run by the US or share the willingness of Americans to burn those other peoples' shit down.
Masnick prefers the readers of techdirt get their propaganda straight from his approved sources. And when the chief suppplier of Western government propaganda (The NYT) steps out of line - Mike feels the need to speak up.

Some retired vet just shows up to "ask" some questions in the middle of a riot and is beaten because of what that question was?
I don't know what is more ridiculous - you believeing it or you pretending to want me to believe it.

That's where your "support" definition resides.

Both-sidesism doesn't work when one side has zero power, leadership or control.
