With apologies to whoever posted this earlier - it's too far back for me to easily find now - so, sorry about that but y'all weren't wrong:
@MHS_Jenkins JFC! The New York Times was once 'the paper of record'. It's now the paper you wrap 3-day-old stinking fish head inside of! Freedom of the Press isn't sacred FFS????
@ReneeVoiceBrand Mainstream media, like mainstream politics, has become increasing authoritarian/proto-fascist both in the US and across the "free" world.
@MHS_Jenkins Mainstream media is owned by 6 Mega Corporations who answer to tax breaks/shareholders NOT the public interest. Rinse. Repeat.
@MHS_Jenkins from the people that inspired NYT Pitchbot.

I had to look this up. It's a really real article they stuck into their "book review" section.
Archived because paywall.
@Tarnagh this is more people arguing the wrong thing. The electoral college is fine(ish). At worst it's an archaism and would require a constitutional convention to remove. Simple repeal of the Apportionment Acts would restore the framers intent of constituent enumeration based apportionment of both congressional districts and and ec electors, the problem is unequal apportionment and gerrymandering.
@Tarnagh @Negroni_drinker @VelvetDuchess @ReneeVoiceBrand There's a lot to unpack with this, including some very selective takes on US history and a interesting use of weasel words. Wowsers.
@Tarnagh @Negroni_drinker @VelvetDuchess @ReneeVoiceBrand Tarnagh, thanks so much for doing the work of finding this and sharing it with us!
@MHS_Jenkins …on a crutch riding a bicycle backwards.🤦🏻♀️
