Why does The Verge think the NYT is being gamed? The NYT is in on the game. This isn’t an issue of competency. The owners know what they’re doing.

I agree that Churches shouldn’t have a say, but paying federal taxes isn’t what gives someone a say in politics. “Taxpayer dollars” is terrible framing. In fact, federal taxes don’t pay for anything at all.

A bitter standoff between Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the Armenian Apostolic Church has seen mass arrests, allegations of a coup plot, and an extraordinary offer by Armenia's leader to reveal his private parts to prove he is a Christian.

Earlier this week, Pashinyan told his 1.1 million followers on Facebook he was prepared to expose himself to the head of the Armenian Church and his spokesman, to prove they were wrong that he had been circumcised.

There would still be some downvotes, because some people downvote any positive news about BRICS.
