No seriously media outlets: Get gaming desks, your internet culture desks, & your extremism desks linked up YESTERDAY or you're going to find yourselves missing so much context it'll be fundamentally embarrassing.
Already seen things from NYT, BBC, & AP all failing to elucidate CRUCIAL information.
Spike Lee - one of the greatest filmmakers - remakes one of the greatest films by another of the greatest filmmakers, starring one of the greatest actors and it is NOT playing at the local cineplex. Not great.
A spider crawled up my leg during an interview in the middle of a very in-depth and heartfelt answer the other person was giving to my question… Did I stop them to deal with my growing panic?

NYT, Politico, NPR, and NBC News no longer with reliable Pentagon access. Told to vacate offices and are to be replaced by One America, Breitbart, NY Post, and HuffPost. The quiet dismantling of serious information gathering and dissemination at the highest levels.
