When the winner peddles stuff like this lmao:

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/30/11-things-2014-tara-hero-cat-chris-pratt-roxane-gay

quote:

I think we can all agree, unless you are Earth’s worst, scruple-free man-toad, that 2014 was the most dismal misery parade on record. A certifiable dud. The pits. Ferguson, Rolling Stone, Robin Williams, lost planes, melting icecaps, ethics in video-game journalism – I was gearing up to write your typical doom-and-gloom listicle counting all the ways that 2014 made me want to move to the moon, but then I thought: Wait. Was this year entirely irredeemable? Did anything happen that I didn’t hate? There must have been something.

After racking my brains, I managed to come up with … somethings that were not completely awful. Here they are, in no particular order:

People complain about american media but at least Fox news owns itself. This is supposed to be quality british journalism!

I used to have a Kindle subscription to the NYT but after Snowden chose The Guardian I unsubscribed and switched over to them. One month later I unsubscribed because it was like reading a paper from some African hamlet.
