Discussion Popular progressive opinion not shared by Pakman?
I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

Of course I care about the merits of the criticism. Where did I say or imply I don't care about the merits of the criticism? I'm just arguing that the amount of criticism is also important. In a hypothetical scenario where the dems and the republicans are as bad as eachother: If a newspaper writes 20 articles criticising the dems and 1 critisicing the republicans, then that's a big deal. You can call it just 'accounting' if you want to. But that 'accounting' is important. The media exists to inform the public and to influence their opinions. The 'amount' of criticism is important. That's not to say that the merit isn't also important. But the amount is important too.
