Can't help but smile at the crude Orwellian conduct here. That they don't try harder with these shifts is indicative of what they think of their audience.

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
It really is something to see how needy, how status-driven these people are. The material comfort really isn't sufficient for them. If they aren't validated by their peers, they start blubbering like toddlers.Rat Patrol wrote: ↑03 Jul 2018, 11:21amhttps://www.universalhub.com/2018/poor- ... ?nocache=1

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
The status of people like Brooks and Friedman make me wonder how the fuck do I fail upward like that. I'm good at blowing it—it should be the primary entry on my cv—but how do I monetize it like those two flashing vcr clocks?Flex wrote: ↑30 Oct 2018, 6:04pmdavid brooks is like the jack handy of Third Way centrists.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑30 Oct 2018, 3:47pmhtwitter.com/nytdavidbrooks/status/1057320450487959552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1057320450487959552&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsplinternews.com%2Fajax%2Finset%2Fiframe%3Fid%3Dtwitter-1057320450487959552%26autosize%3D1

Why stop there, NYT? Just start writing full-on monarchist editorials while you're at it.

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Still, I'd rather conservatives be more open about their contempt for the hoi polloi and need to exercise power to control them than the phony populism they perform, that they're outsiders just like guys drinking a beer on their riding mower. Follow the douchehat and admit you're an elitist.
