went for the more recent “hate Palestine or you’re an antisemite” bit and found it didn’t work.
I’m not sure how recent that is? In any case, it’s hilarious to watch the right trying to do this, even still and I just don’t think it’s landing like it used to. It used to just be assumed as axiomatic by the “liberal media” and the unhinged right wing media in the 90s and certainly right after 9/11.
These days…any gatekeeping on that Beltway opinion seems to result in a faceplant. I just don’t think as many people buy into that bullshit like they might have before. The days of 3 outlets for evening news + a few cable news stations (that propped up the same narrative) are long, long gone…most people get their news from “social media” these days, which has a lot of good and bad. This is one of the good outcomes of that, I think.
