    There is no need for scare quotes around liberal. Bending the knee is what liberals do.

      The quotes are apt, as they never were truly liberal. They existed to capitalize on that market and to guide liberals to do what their owners want.

      Look how for example they ridicule progressives like Bernie or AOC, how they ignored net neutrality during Obama and trump.

      Look how they get Biden to cancel campaign when he was promising to raise taxes on $400k+

      They are “liberal” but only in a way that it doesn’t interfere with billionaires wealth.

      If you want reliable news sources support non profit ones.

        They were never true scotsmen.

        Most of the rest of your comment describes bog standard liberal behavior.
