    Well yeah, she’s no Boots Riley obviously. I don’t have some delusion that she’s a PSL sleeper agent. You will still not find a much better sympathizer in journalism, and she is a valuable figure in this way.

        I agree it is disappointing that even the better journalists are still western chauvinists. You can see my response to said receipts, which is that I have no interest in defending Democracy Now!s consistent application of :us-foreign-policy:. I still appreciate when they do good coverage, like offering a platform for criticism of the Zionist entity or interviewing Boots. I don’t think that’s an unreasonably nuanced attitude. However if you still would like to argue that they’re unforgivably in the pocket of the Great Satan, I’m not going to tell you you’re wrong in this attitude.
