It takes a lot to motivate me to post. But the recent edition of the Left, Right & Center podcast illuminates everything that is wrong about legacy media.

In our recent October poll, 2% of Americans said their primary source of news was CBS. They disapprove of Trump by a net 20 points. I doubt a campaign against elites and academia — left-coded groups, in the Trumpian formulation — is going to help ratings www.gelliottmorris.com/p/what-your-...

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

So is the period of mourning over for the noble christo-fascist coup-backer who wanted to stone to death the gender-non-conforming? The highest ideal of our civilization, is he laid to rest? Are we good now? What I'm really getting at is can we go back to the Epstein files?

One thing that has sort of surprised me is that it does really seem like the desire to be ruled by a powerful fascist daddy is stronger in the median elite journalist than in the median voter.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
