Whereupon We Pontificate About Poor Media Outlet Choices

Cillizza has been phoning it in and making top dollar for a decade.

For so many, impostor syndrome is a harmful, debilitating fiction that, perversely, inhibits people from reaching their full potential.

And then, there are people like Chris Cillizza.

Saw a commercial for Scientology last night. miscavage inviting you to get the real info and go to Scientology.tv

Was on a direct TV feed of ESPN during the LA-PHL NBA game.

My mother wants some Best of the 70s Audio CD for Christmas.

Knowing her media habits, she probably saw a commercial for one on FOX News pretty recently.

Given that you guys watch your share of it, do you by any chance know which best of the 70s CD she’s talking about because there are a lot of them.

Wait, WAT?

I can’t speak for everyone, but I don’t think anyone really watches it. Most of our Fox News consumption is clips of the insanity that others post on twitter and such. No commercials there.

I do hate watch it on election nights and sometimes I’m rewarded with some delicious tears, but that’s it for me.

I think you need to watch some Fox to find out the proper set of music. Think of it as saving Christmas.

It’s obviously this one:

Musk really doesn’t have any political convictions. He just knows that right-wing conspiracies generate tons of clicks and gets him attention. So, pump that shit up to make Twitter more profitable and put the spotlight on him.

I think it’s that plus he is a loudmouth overconfident moron. That will lead to people latching on to over simplified conservative narratives, this is hardly limited to Elon Musk.

I thought this about Trump at the beginning, that he was just saying stuff he knew people wanted to hear. I think Elon is a deplorable piece of crap in his heart.

If you were curious about Newsweek’s opinion section here’s their opinion section chief editor fan boying out about VDARE’s founder, an open white nationalist, only to get suspicious when the reporter asks him again about his job at Newsweek

Starting in May 2020, after editor Nancy Cooper and chief content officer Dayan Candappa brought political activist Josh Hammer to run Newsweek ’s opinion section, the 90-year-old publication has emerged as a hub for opinion pieces authored by radical right activists.

A Hatewatch reporter approached Hammer after Greene’s speech, made an introduction and asked if he knew Peter Brimelow of VDARE.

“He’s right here, right now?” Hammer asked with excitement.

“I didn’t even know he was here!” Hammer said of the infamous white nationalist publisher. “I’m going to say Hi.”

The Hatewatch reporter asked Hammer how he got his job at Newsweek , and the opinion editor abruptly stopped talking. He asked the reporter to identify himself again. When the reporter did, Hammer’s expression slackened. He quickly claimed he did not know Peter Brimelow and left.
