Yeah, at this point, it's kinda starting to feel like they're exploiting sexual assault for clicks.

It came out last year that the Foxygen guy beat his girlfriend. Not a peep around these parts.

I'm very annoyed (probably more than I reasonably should be) that this has gotten 500 articles while they never said a peep about the rape allegation against Michael Gira (Swans) last year. I mean, it's not a competition, but there ought to be a little consistency, please and thank you.

Right? And just monkeying around with the schedule on the fly in general. Half these updates say things like "Show X lost viewers when it switched to a new timeslot." Noooo shit.

There's definitely a lot of truth to that, though I thought The Power Broker made it pretty clear how incredibly tightly he managed to wedge himself into the political machine. President Franklin Freaking Delano Roosevelt tried to get him out, and couldn't. So while an awful lot of people knowingly, willingly, even…

It should be mandatory reading for all Americans.

Palin was the first semi-real/semi-prominent politician to endorse Trump (how soon we've forgotten "right-wingin'/bitter clingin'"). This is her legacy. She won. We struck her down, but she became more powerful than ever.

God damn it now I'll have to walk all the way to the other side of the room to get the DVDs when I want to rewatch the whole series for 185th time.

Did that get sorted out? They're still there as of right now.

Highly underrated comment right here.

With the caveat that the line is a little blurrier with Trump, I agree, and I think it's a big mistake for media outlets like this one to not keep those delineations strong. It's like they see everyone else building a house on quicksand and say to themselves, "We've gotta move there!"

Yeah, one big downside of going alone is there's no editor there to say "everyone and their mother has already written a Clinton '16 postmortem, for the love of god do something more original." But, it's his site, he can do what he wants…. Doing '08 instead is a good suggestion though.

Oh yeah I don't doubt that, but I really have a hard time believing when they say views and comments aren't correlated at all. I know sometimes it's a handful of individuals commenting a lot, but when it's more than a few hundred, and especially on the MWOF articles, you see a lot of people wandering in from other…

ALCOR, a thrash band from mainland China. They sound exactly like '80s Metallica and their album cover has alpacas with jetpacks on it. They are perfect.

And yet when Tommy Wiseau uses green screen for no damn reason we all laugh…

I guess I'm still not convinced that the issue is that quality writing is impossible to monetize, period, rather than that it's just impossible for it to deliver profit margins of the size executives at the top of the corporate structure want.

You kid, but… is anyone else getting genuinely concerned for the future of media? Especially news coverage? Almost everything it seems is propped up by TRUMP! coverage/outrage/snark/fandom. I saw a really trenchant comment yesterday about how there were no "who are these voters?" stories for Obama, or Bush, or, well,…

I thought The Dictator was funny for what it was, but it suffered from unfair expectations - we (well, I, anyway) went in expecting biting satire, but the film went pretty broad.

For what it's worth I took Nabin's comment as just a thinking-out-loud thing - it's a blog, after all - because he wanted to expand it beyond the current bounds to cover other types of "Flops" like the Clinton campaign, for one. And so he was just thinking "My Universe of Flops" to up the scale some. He still referred…

On the one hand, it's a decent gesture and it's more than they had to do (and more than they did do last time, cough).
