Whereupon We Pontificate About Poor Media Outlet Choices

NYT Pitchbot: “Our marketing team has decided to pause ad spending on Twitter amid concerns that our brand may be placed next to antisemitic content. We’re also wild about these certified kosher cat treats from Chewy! Use promo code NYT at checkout for an additional 10% off your order.”

Nyt owns Wirecutter. I don’t get your issue. This is standard cross promotion.

Lessens the NYT “brand” ?

Dressed to empress.

I guess but the fact that media survives on advertisements is hardly new information.

ESG is the devil, don’t cha know?

Elite grift right now would be an anti-woke mutual fund or ETF.

But, sadly, like ethanol-free gasoline, this one is only practical for the incumbents.

An ETF of companies that refuse to do the basic USA corpo lip service to diversity & inclusion would be… what? News Corp? Sinclair? Tesla? 2+2 publishing

Just get a bunch of evil-sounding shit. Tobacco, oil, ARCH, payday loans–it doesn’t really matter that most of these companies actually have DEI policies, the goal here is to own the libs by investing in evil stuff they’re trying to sink.

An ideologically pure version of this would invest in like Nestle, but to the prospective griftee that’s just a candy company.

Thats a good one but yeah

Well, this is a real thing.

Texas has basically banned ESG investing:

And there already are anti-woke/anti-ESG funds. Most notably the God Bless America ETF. Ticker symbol? YALL.

Seriously.

(The actual holdings don’t seem especially anti-ESG, but what a ticker.)

RIP to a real one. Hard to believe someone so gullible and always wrong was let go from elite media
