Interesting news, but the source seems blatantly partisan.

Not sure what you mean by partisan. This was the Democratic primary.

Mamdani is a member of the DSA. I'm not sure whether they were suggesting bias toward the DSA or the Democrats.

Jalopnik began their slow slide into the shit-tier of automotive journalism about 10 years ago. AI will have their jobs.

A decade+ ago they used to be proper automotive journalists. IDK if they sold out or there was a change in management but now they just write really shallow "radio DJ analysis of trending stuff" type content that seems designed to appeal to the terminally online segment of the market for automotive journalism.

Jalopnik's ownership history is as spotted and confusing as any web media brand out there. It was part of the Gizmodo group for years, which was bought by private equity and split into separate themed components merged with other media holding companies bought by the same private equity. Four months ago it was sold to something called Static Media, yet another media holding company that I've never heard of, but given the about us page showing a whole lot of VPs and C-suites who look about 25 or so, I'm not sure I would expect this one to last any longer than all the previous owners.

Isn't this the same trend for almost all journalism?

"Partisanship" doesn't mean the same thing in this era where one party is run by a reality show personality. It's barely even politics to side by default with the adults.
