Frantically attempting to spin this in favour of predatory finance capitalism.

Anything to distract from the class war.

His crime is one of the reasons we find him attractive. It's not being overshadowed it's being celebrated.

Tens of millions of lives ruined by "just good business" is the headline.

Stop worshipping profit or everything will get worse, even if there are no violent responses.

Everybody talking about anything else in this case is lying by omission.

cia media gonna cia

Why wouldn't they be? The glamorizing of murderers, rapists, and other criminals in biopic miniseries seems to be a growing point of discussion over the past year or so.

I mean this is nothing new. Pretty white women have been treated favourably in court and by the public forever. There is a somewhat popular twitter account all about hot criminals. It's a thing and it always has been.

That had never been a problem before

They're trying every angle they can think of to avoid admitting that people didn't react negatively to this because literally everyone in the country has been negatively affected by people like that CEO.

Also outside the US country. I'm Brazilian, I've been following the news about this event, and I can't help but notice there's a hope inside me that this event could somehow result in CEOs all around the world (especially in the southern hemisphere) changing and ditching their greed. Well, of course it's very unlikely to happen, maybe I have some tiny optimistic side buried under tons of massive pessimism of mine.

NYT is as corpo as media can get. We must remember what side they are on. Journalism is dead.

Corporate media is going to protect their advertisers by shotgunning bullshit articles trying to change the narrative

The classic scapegoats aren't there this time. Can't blame him being the wrong race, wrong economic class, wrong mentally, wrong physically, or wrong sexually. Now people are actually looking at the issue that caused the "crime" and that's not good to some people.

Pretty successful and well off kid, definitely not just someone desperate and broke they can tear apart, and he's articulating his position against these fuckers. It's really beautiful. A folk hero.

Not a criminal until a guilty verdict...

[–] logging_strict@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Guilty until proven innocent is nonsense. We are beyond that already.

Just a patsy

Using the term criminal is just demonizing a random guy.

The State and it's officers are just illusionists. They can't present evidence or be witnesses. Cuz they are unbelievable.

So far that is all they got. So when anyone uses the term criminal, i jump straight to innocent and civil suit

It couldn't be because we've been starved of seeing anything resembling actual justice could it?

Horrible people do horrible things and have been getting away with it since before I was born. No wonder people are reacting the way they are.

Being handsome doesn't hurt, but people like him for what he did. He could be a hunchback and there'd be supportive quasimodo memes I'm sure.

No matter what the topic, you can always count on the NYT for a shitty take. The NYT has a very distinctive flavor of editorial shittiness that's quite hard to define but instantly recognizable. They want us to catch their carefully curated blind spots.
