Exploration is ill-advised.
The only kind of pride in appearing on Fox News should be AOC style when you enjoy that they accurately present your policy platform with derision and fear.

Actual leftists that won't cower before them are the right's worst nightmare.

it kinda owns that the right wing and mainstream media (but I repeat myself, natch) has spent the last 30 years painting neoliberal ideas as communist nazi socialist policies to the point where when an actual leftist starts talking about actual leftist things they have no real defense against it other than "doesn't free healthcare and a living wage sound horrible?"

the thing about going on someone else's platform is that they control the platform. they get to control the questions and shout down or shut down any subject they don't like, they can toss in weird derails to distract from whatever you're saying, they can declare the interview over any time, and hell, they can even edit the footage or cut stuff out if they want. and even if you complain about it later, their platform is mostly watched by their fans, who will naturally be inclined to side with them and support them if there's any dispute

i assume some people are probably charismatic and skilled enough to handle that and still come out looking good despite the home field advantage being against them. but most people aren't

it’s a whole thing man, you get a different audience that’s not insignificant there, and yeah it’s arguably not helping the platform as much as it helps them


it not like they’re writing articles for the national review or reason. or infowars lol

normal people don’t see it as a credibility hit to be on fox news programming

i havent seen those but id imagine hes theres in an adversarial capacity. and the o reilly factor wasnt nearly as reactionary as the carlson show

even then i wouldnt condone it. no one should ever go on fox news as a matter of pure principle

the only reason tucker carlson is suddenly the most white supremacist guy on cable news is because greenwald has gone on quite a few times and using carlson as a smear is easier than refuting what greenwald says

find me one gop pundit that isn't a white supremacist or an imperial cheerleader

lol now thats just some paranoid bullshit. tucker carlson has been using explicitly white supremacist language for a while now. its a thing

they arrested her on false charges, but she may still be a Russian agent because those wily Russians are visiting her in jail?

I could definitely be out of the loop, but butina is still accused of conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, eg. through communication with torshin etc, yes? her alleged crimes are more than "had sex in exchange for favors"? I don't understand how "prosecutors hosed up trying to push something salacious" and "there is credible evidence butina committed crimes" are mutually exclusive. moreover, I still don't understand the need to be contrarian about this stuff. I am with david klion on this (whoever told me about this dude, probably in the succ zone, thanks). just because various succers want to use "rich oligarchs, both foreign and domestic, attempted to infiltrate the electoral process to make a fuckload of money and accidentally got a piss golem elected, to their delight" to preserve their own power doesn't mean said subversion by said oligarchs never happened, nor that it is cool and good.

I've made a psycho call to the woman I love, I've kicked a dog to death, and now I'm going to pepper spray an acquaintance. Something... I mean, what's happened to me?
The NY Times published a great work of "centrist" trash today, in case you wanted to read a ridiculously oversimplified one-cause history of "populism". Its take on the UK post-recession is particularly laughable, and he's basically stretching the term "populist" to its breaking point (basically anything that isn't third-way Clintonism is bad bad bad). The whole thing reads like dnc.txt

Yet these debates are still more tolerable than what’s happening in the pages of the Times. Since Donald Trump’s election, new prominence has been given to an otherwise deranged and degraded form: the op-ed. The Times op-ed page — along with its basic best friend, the Washington Post op-ed page, and its evil, basement-dwelling older brother, the Wall Street Journal op-ed page — should have gone the way of the classifieds section. Instead it exerts a malevolent gravitational pull, delivering with punishing regularity an endless stream of annoying and offensive provocations.

The irony of the op-ed’s depressing reemergence is that everything is an op-ed now. The op-edization of all writing should have rendered its traditional purveyors redundant. Why read a Times columnist when you can read the same opinion delivered with more style and energy almost anywhere else? But even as internet writers refine and defend and reiterate their opinions — an archipelago of converging takes — so-called traditional outlets have consolidated their influence.

alternatively just maybe enjoy some prose I dunno I like this format writers deserve some me time

the conclusion of the article is how the failing new york times oped page sucks balls and james bennet has crafted a cesspit indistinguishable from facebook or youtube comments sections. they should have finished that thought and said outright that weiss and stephens and david brooks are functionally identical to yiannopolous and jordan peterson and bill oreilly
