I am so tired of media companies being run by wholly incompetent, eager-to-pander-to-the-worst dudes. If I was as bad at my job as Pitaro, I’d resign in shame. To try and go “HEY YOU, I SAID NO POLITICS” when with one of his network’s biggest stars had the common sense to call out racism (something which should not be…

You know the real problem with voter apathy?
