I worked at the show the 1980s when I was in my early 20s and my recollections were quite not as sunny. Besides ushering in scream punditry that ruined substantive news analysis of important issues, its late host was embroiled in some of the first serious #metoo incidents ...
Which I was witness to and about who I testified about. You can read about it here in this Washington Post piece: washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…
I also talked about it here: slate.com/human-interest…
Which is just a long way of saying about deeply abusive people like John McLaughlin: Babylon was, you son of a bitch.
So to name a show about this truly awful person is really peak 2019 for me

Bye @soulcycle, or should I say Soul-less Cycle. Hello @onepeloton @tonal : google.com/amp/s/amp.goth…
I have to add that @MelanieWhelan1 is in an impossible situation here due to this oaf “passive” investor, in this week of all weeks. Good note, but ...
Btw I get the issue that many companies support the GOP and Trump. It is hard to unravel easily. But this is a mega fundraiser at his home, the week after Trump’s racist tweets & behavior are inexorably linked to the Texas attack. It’s a quantum level of support at the worst time

Ok trying AGAIN @jack in another new thread! This one about @realDonaldTrump #KaraJack:

We know a lot more about what Donald Trump thinks because of Twitter, and we all have mixed feelings about that.
@jack @realDonaldTrump Have you ever considered suspending Donald Trump? His tweets are somewhat protected because he’s a public figure, but would he have been suspended in the past if he were a “regular” user? #karajack
@jack @realDonaldTrump And will Twitter’s business/engagement suffer when @realDonaldTrump is no longer President? #karajack

And to all you aggrieved folks who thought this Gillette ad was too much bad-men-shaming, after we just saw it come to life with those awful kids and their fetid smirking harassing that elderly man on the Mall: Go fuck yourselves.
I was a complete dolt to put up this and several other obnoxious tweets yesterday without waiting to see the whole video of the incident and I apologize to the kids from Kentucky unilaterally and also for using that clip to make another point about, of all things, a razor ad.
Just for the record, I still like the ad, even if my son thinks it is awful man-shaming. He’s wrong but he is right when he told me yesterday to “stop being mad on Twitter.” Also cursing: Bad.

If you want to know how liberal most reporters at newspapers are, just see how they react when they stumble across a reporter who may not vote the same way as them.

The only need to obsessively qualify with 'conservative' journalist is because 'liberal' is otherwise implicit.
Look at what the unhinged socialist the Oregonian had write the story reported:

"Ngo called the alleged hate crimes “hoaxes,” a move his critics say put vulnerable people in danger."

Never noted: THEY *WERE* HOAXES AND HE PROVED IT!

bit.ly/2ZZKPdE
The meticulous research Ngo did, showing through *facts* (not opinion) how the *narrative* offered in news pages about hate crimes is false, are indisputably excellent journalism.

The only reason to qualify it is because they're deeply embarrassed to have been caught in a lie.

#ANALYSIS Much has been said about young people running for various offices across the country - Ready Or Not?

While a host of them are simply making up the numbers, 3 have stood out remarkably and could win a seat each in the National Assembly. @BankyW @GRVlagos @RinsolaAbiola
We therefore will do a brief analysis of their chances tomorrow as they head to the polls.
@GRVlagos is a 35 year old Architect who ran for Ikeja local government chairmanship two years ago and lost. He is running for a seat in the Senate in the Largest senatorial district in Nigeria #Lagoswest on the platform of @OfficialPDPNig .

1) New day #QDrop... #Qanon post No. 2745... @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @POTUS
#Q links to #FoxNews & says "Buckle up!". It's looking good for a D5 info drop on the others that met secretly to plot against #POTUS with the use of a 25th Amendment scam.

2) Stepping back 4 an interesting footnote re: #QAnon post No. 2744...
When the verse numbers are totaled, they equal 55:17. If you've been watching #QDrops or any time you know the significance of 5 x5 & the number 17😉
3) #QAnon post No. 2746...
#LisaPage was removed from the #SC on 15th July 2017. July 21, 2017, The #Mooch was appointed #WHCommunicationsDirector. He began work on 25th July 2017 & was fired on the 31st. It's clear [5:5] that #Scaramucchi was a hired (& disposable) gun. Most all
