The NPR CEO tweets are great fun and support my thesis that parody, satire, and fiction can no longer compete with reality (she’s a better Titania McGrath than Titania McGrath), but the fact that this intellectually vacant and ideologically excited midwit…

What a shameful way for NPR to deal with thoughtful criticism by a long time insider. A news organization that responds to criticism by firing the heretic should wonder whether the orthodoxy it worships has led it to dark places.

First they ignore you,
then they silence you,
then they slander you,
then they claim they didn't know.
Gaslighting of the highest order!

I often hear people say something like “it worries me when your statements attract the ‘wrong kind of follower.’”So am I supposed to lie in order to attract the ‘right kind of follower?’ What standard do these people use to construct their opinions? Doesn’t sound like logic and…

People can't afford food. We're forgiving millions in student debt and funding billions in foreign wars. This is crazy. It must stop.

Every person who pretends to take these men seriously, who has facilitated their influence on society, should hang their heads in shame.

the lede on the NYT's original 1995 story about OJ Simpson's trial is insane

🚨 New systematic review exposes deceptive practices among medical organizations that endorse youth transition. Rather than relying on robust evidence, medical authorities fabricated consensus by deferring to each others' guidelines.

Gaslighting toadie 🐸

For the pattern-recognition-impaired:

quite the revisionist history

well, unless they wanted to:

work, go to school, eat out, shop, travel, or visit loved ones...

claiming this was 'voluntary' is like calling a mugging 'a willing transfer of funds' because the robber let you choose 'your money or your life.'

Throughout the Covid scamdemic grift I always had a weird sensation that the average adult person wanted this to happen.

That up until Covid they felt cheated out of historic tales of bravery and resiliency.

The average person “did their part” as if they were relishing telling…

Well, that’s hilarious given the cultural relevance of so few orgs/associations/professions have declined as precipitously as journalism.

IOW, The Associated Press’s credibility as the arbiter of relevance is essentially non-existent (if not inverted.)
