Clay Travis, Covid Truther, has built out a website in his own image: factually-challenged, heavily invested in the cuture wars, and powered by conspiratorial, far-right grievance politics, even to the point of defending a white nationalist. @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
Pre-COVID, Travis was famous for whining about ESPN. Now—no matter how many times he's proven wrong—he's dedicated himself to downplaying a global pandemic, calling anyone who disagrees "coronabros" who peddle "fear porn" and are "rooting for the virus." thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
Beyond the fluff pieces about Tucker Carlson & aggregates stories about Black people allegegly committing crimes, Outkick hired David Chao as a staff writer, the disgraced ex-NFL doc who left the league amidst allegations of “gross negligence." thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
OutKick praised Chao to the hilt when he was hired. (He's rebranded as an online sports injury expert online, offering snap diagnoses for his 160k followers.) But for some reason, OutKick failed to even mention quite a few items dotting Chao's resume. thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
And then there's Jason Whitlock. In a column, he called KSU student Jaden McNeil a "martyr" who was persecuted for jokes about George Floyd. One problem: Whitlock whitewashed the entirety of McNeil's actual political beliefs and racist statements. thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
The things Whitlock writes on a daily basis at OutKick defy description. "Unhinged" feels accurate. thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
And don't forget Bobby Burack, who spends so much time and so many column inches cheerleading for Tucker Carlson you'd think he was on Fox's payroll. thedailybeast.com/inside-clay-tr…
