It’s really important, in the wake of this, that we make note of and signal boost this message: Glenn Beck said as much a month ago. Now Samantha Bee is cuddling him in an attempt at coalition building.

‘Ethics in Journalism’ is a red herring, whether it’s liberals pretending that “fake journalism” decided the election or alt-right nerds pretending that feminists writing for hobbyist sites is some kind of big deal.
