Yeah... this past week has not given me a lot of faith in the U.S. media's ability to recognize and dissect disinformation campaigns. They're sure failing this test
"You don't? Why hasn't a cute little girl like you found yourself a nice rich husband yet?"
I don't know man, why do you have all those sexual harassment cases pending against you?
Runner-up, from a editor who had evidently never even bothered to look at my resume: "Why don't you get your husband to take you on a nice trip and do some journalism from there? Then you can get some international reporting chops!"
I warned everyone that the border disinformation campaign -- rolled along by the same eugenicists I warned about during the Trump administration -- were going to use this to change the subject. It's so fucking predictable
But at least just about all my colleagues are bravely stepping right up and... going along with an orchestrated disinformation campaign as though the last few years never happened
