Comment on Vox Media is cutting pay and furloughing 9% of employees

Comments

I tend to be conservative in my politics, but I hate to see this. If it had to be some liberal publisher, I'd rather that it not be Vox.

Vox seems to me to be about as left-leaning as you can get, but they do it quite fairly. Example: Vox was one of the first left-side publications to run articles about Joe Biden's accuser. A lot of other publications stayed away from this story-- some still are-- but Vox bravely ran it. (From a far-left position, of course. If you go far enough left, you'll end up close to far-right.) They are the real deal, and for that I respect them.

Serious question. Are you confounding left-leaning with lack of journalistic integrity, and conservative news outlets as having integrity?

No, not at all.

I consider most media sources biased (right or left) and also consider them to have various degrees of integrity.

For integrity, I give Vox good credit for running a story that deserves attention but runs counter to their political leanings.
