This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I mean, The Atlantic might as well come with "CIA Certified" stamped on the cover. NPR is just a fleshy public-sector skin suit hiding sixteen different corporate lobbyists. The Guardian is JK Rowling Approved, even if it has historically been decent on foreign policy. The NYT is just lying to you, to your face, over and over, forever.

Really bleak to see what the American media stands for now that the mask has fallen all the way off. I'm a little sad that The Economist didn't make their cut, because it's the subject of my favorite Lenin quote.

The Economist, a journal that speaks for the British millionaires

As part of a critique of the paper's attitude towards war (specifically, The Great War aka WW1)
