You don't even have to read the full post if you don't want, just scroll through the extremely long list of public figures reciting the exact same words and phrases. It's honestly hypnotic
I don't know, I guess if I worked in corporate communications I'd say the same thing -- seems pretty good for business if your clientele is anything but explicitly conservative
Yeah, I recommend scrolling all the way to the bottom of the list for this reason, lol. (Note, you need to get a paid subscription in order to comment directly on Substack -- then you can troll me more aggressively. It's a highly sought-after elite perk)
I don’t think it’s a good idea to “ignore” ideological nostrums and speech codes that have enormous cultural/political power and are taking over every elite institution
We are long past the time for conversation -- now is the time for action. We will roll up our sleeves and do this work, as there remains much yet to be done. I was paid $650,000 to write this
Spoiler alert: People like @JuddLegum have to pretend that no one objected to the "cancelation" of the Dixie Chicks -- which is demonstrably, glaring false -- because it's his ideological allies who now overwhelmingly wield the cultural/political power to "cancel," unlike in 2003
Good comment proposing a theory for why @JuddLegum and others have chosen to actively mislead their followers/readers into believing there was no concerted backlash to the "cancelation" of the Dixie Chicks
Among the "public officials" so heroically EXPOSED by this bombshell report: "Craig Shepherd, who public records show is a paramedic in Utah... gave $10 to Rittenhouse on 30 August"
Also note that this crowdfunding information was obtained via "data breach" but Twitter isn't appending any scary warnings about "hacked materials" to tweets circulating this article, rather Twitter has decided to editorially promote the article
Make sure you "show your support for high-impact journalism" by handing over money to the Guardian so they can continue EXPOSING paramedics in Utah who gave $10 to a legal defense fund
Truly, imagine how hopelessly myopic you have to be to level these charges against scary-sounding Russian entities -- as though you’ve boldly identified uniquely nefarious Russian traits that couldn’t be applied in two seconds to the entire gamut of US corporate media outlets
It’s almost more pathetic when the media credulously hypes and promotes this stuff now because they don’t even have Trump around anymore to justify their abandonment of journalistic standards
As explained in the post, “objectivity” was always an unattainable standard. It never made sense as an ideal to aspire to. But the emergent class of journalists have adopted an entire new activism-centered epistemology that is totally antithetical to basic precepts of journalism
Activist-journalists generate power/leverage by posturing as renegades challenging the status quo in the industry. They can't admit that their mentality is now the dominant one. It wasn't 10 years ago, but the post-2016 landscape (and especially post-2020) is radically different
Chatted with @jessesingal about his extremely dangerous new book, which harmfully provides readers with a framework to more critically assess the proliferation of pop psychology fads. After reading, I now understand why Singal must be Held Accountable mtracey.substack.com/p/how-to-spot-…

It was truly the honor of a lifetime to introduce the world of Substack to @MarlowNYC’s spellbinding journalistic achievements, which he obviously attained 100% on his own merit. I’ll even forgive him for spilling the beans that the post was in the works 😂
Our friend Marlow must be rattled. He’s doing that thing where he keeps spastically following and then unfollowing me. I feel intimidated and harassed 😭😭😭
