Good to know that Glenn Greenwald and BF2 now consider the New York Times a source of reliable reporting.

I see, so they're only reliable when their conclusion is politically useful to you.

Dunno, how do you feel about the New York Times' reporting on that matter?

The Lincoln Project SOUNDED like such a good idea, but the more I watched their videos, the more I agreed with the guy above who said they were "videos made for liberals".

Oh well, Trump's gone, so the story has a happy ending. Some weapons in a war won't be all that effective, nor will some drugs in a pandemic. Some will profit when they don't deserve it. Point is, we won the war.

My attitude towards them was that I'm totally fine with running attack ads against Trump, but it didn't seem like they really needed my money.

I'd be curious to know what the primary source of their donations actually was. Folks like Greenwald love to claim that it was all liberals, but they also seem like a prime target for affluent Never Trump conservatives who don't want to donate to Democrats.

They grifted you resistance liberals something fierce. Look at all the people who talked about their ads on this website and count how many of them were Biden voters.
How many people? Bearister and who else?

The thing is that turnout was up all over, which means you also had a lot of NEW REPUBLICANS. Theoretically, Lincoln Project ads could have turned some Republicans who were just replaced with new Trump voters. Or turned people who no longer call themselves Republicans. This data doesn't necessarily tell you anything definitive, though of course many people are using it to confirm their prior assumptions. And that's without even getting into how exit poll data is probably not reliable at this stage.

I don't care much about the Lincoln Project one way or the other. I think it's very possible their methods didn't work; I just don't think anything out there right now proves it. And as for calling them a "grift," IMO to prove that you have to prove more than just ineffectiveness. A true grifter takes your money and never does what he promised to do. The Lincoln Project promised to produce anti-Republican ads and they did, so on that level it doesn't look like a grift to me. Even if the ads were ineffective that doesn't make it a grift.

And yet you claim you "don't care much about the Lincoln Project one way or the other."

For a guy who didn't care, you sure defended them a lot. Probably because of all the money you gave them.

Not only are you the most intellectually dishonest person on this forum, you're also very very dumb.

In every one of these threads I said there wasn't enough evidence the Lincoln Project was a grift, and that I wanted to see more about how their internal finances worked. The NYT seems to be doing some of that work now. That's fine. You seem to have confused uncertainty with dishonesty.

I never sent the LP a dime.
