You’re right, I was overzealous. I just roll my eyes and like to poke at Splinter’s tendency to be all high and mighty while not actually doing any reporting. They like to point out all the reasons other outlets are doing it wrong while relying on those same outlets for links to the reporting.

I’d like to see them report and provide commentary instead of the weak combination of hyperventilating and holier-than-thou bullshit that shows up here most of the time.

Splinter’s idea of news coverage is a twitter grifter/attention slurping toad typing in all caps and shouting WHITE NATIONALIST/UR A NAZI/BERNIE IS DADDY without doing any actual reporting.

...but how long until you have a total conniption and start writing this kind of stuff without the irony? Become the left’s Alex Jones. Do it for TommyP. 

Finally, we’re seeing diversity where it really matters: terroristic threats. /s

FYI, Tree of Life is in Pittsburgh not Philly. 

...you know both violent and nonviolent crimes can both be bad, right? You don’t have to decide that murder isn’t as bad as embezzlement (or whatever) to consider both worth punishing.

Is this what you thought life as a professional writer would be like? 

Fuck the NYPD. Fuck the dicks on bikes, too. 

The only person who can out-Trump Trump is a Trump impersonator. *sigh* This is all so stupid. 

An Alec Baldwin presidency would be a fitting reality tv-esque end to America but I’d prefer to keep living and, you know, maybe make some progress toward a better world, too.

Good. Alec Baldwin’s bad Trump impression for President!

He would be a terrible candidate and worse president but, on the other hand, watching you guys lose your minds over ‘Alec Baldwin for President’ would be delightful. 

Thank you for commenting so many times. Usually I shit on the letter writer for being a fucking moron but today I have you.

in ordee to talk about that most people would have to read the tweeted article...and it doesnt seem like many actually did

A+ for hyperbole.

Oh it’s absolutely batshit. But its pretty clear that 90% of people commenting (and probably Blest) didn’t click through at all because ‘dunking’ on a guy who doesn’t give a fuck about GMG is all the rage on this blog. 

...David Brooks didn’t write the Pete Seeger article.

Fuck David Brooks but I get the feeling that you didn’t bother to read the article he tweeted out. But, you know, don’t let your lack of follow through stopping you from working!
