They're firmly in the "any news that grabs clicks" camp, far worse than MSNBC and others.
American Sikhs should have known better. While the New American Century types that just cared about controlling middle eastern oil were tolerant of Sikhs because they hate Muslims, are not to fond of The Gays, and voted for Republicans in the US. the Maga-heads and Evangelicals just see Sikhs as brown skinned foreigner non-Christians who don't belong in a America.
#NotAllSikhs, I think -- certainly certainly a lot of Sikh members are very active in my local Labour Party -- but, as the article makes clear, it's rather ironic that Ms Dhillon is one of MAGA's go-to lawyers, and apparently a very successful one.
Yeah, I've seen so many terrible right wing opinion articles that basically say in so many words "Well, if we just ignore COVID and cherry pick the data how we want, we can make it look like the economy was GREAT!
Yeah, I get it, though the perception is wrong. A lot of people don't get that the economy lags well behind policy. The way the economy is doing NOW is not necessarily a reflection of what policies or world events are happening NOW. Trump tried to take credit for how good the economy was before he even took office. And right wing opinion pieces I was referencing earlier are willing to forgive Trump for the COVID recession but of course blame Biden for it... The perception is powerful though and hard to beat. My fear is that the economy shows strong signs of recovery and will likely have another great boom just in time for Trump to swoop in and act like he did it again...

Yeah, I posted this before Sorkin said what he said in the NYT.
Correction, the only choices are both too old and mentally sick.
Of all the "You have to account for COVID, this feels like one not really used a lot. A LOT of companies used COVID as an excuse to raise prices across the board and then they just, never went back.
As a stats buff, I've often defended the polls in the past, but I think polls right now are especially useless between it being too far out, and also because a growing portion of the population refuses to talk to pollsters. The integrity of polls is obviously very dependent on a large share of both parties being willing to talk to those annoying people who call them to ask questions. ...often a ton of intrusive questions. I've even declined to talk to them myself recently.
