These "hearings" are all equally frustrating...and increasingly mediocre...
The questions are often without substance...and the answers are completely predictable.
Grandstanding and a constant attempt at "gotcha" moments.
Yeah...we had Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite too...
Except in Vietnam there wasn't a global information network that interacted with the infrastructure of the entire planet.
I remember Vietnam as well.
Certainly no shortage of "you should smile more" creeps on social media these days.
You're absolutely correct.
And I was commenting, on social media, about his response... which is kinda how this whole thing works.
Enjoy your day 😊
You responded to his answer to me...
I understand your frustration...but if you actually want to make a difference, one line snark isn't going to cut it...or garner any meaningful response.
He answered me because I, very publicly, asked a legitimate question.
The answer to that question would come if charges would ever be filed against the SPLC...
Right now, this seems more performative than anything else.
If you think that they won't ever "come after you"....now would be a good time to reevaluate that notion.
Because they are already coming after you.
Thank you, Fi.
I'm not remotely angry at all...just truly perplexed as to what value this brings to the conversation...
Napoleon shaking his head.
Context matters...in this case, Newsweek opted for clicks, rather than journalistic integrity...
He's running out of new material...like a has-been standup comic.
When will you be defending your dissertation ?
I guess this was only a matter of time...
But it's still alarming...
The shape of things to come:

That's exactly what they want.
Bravo 👏👏👏
That sounds like something you would hear on the former iteration of InfoWars.
There's no shortage of documentary evidence.
So...let me see if I understand your premise as you present it...
Social media accounts are run by marketing staff...but elected officials don't utilize staff with regard to correspondence...
Did I get that right ?
The effectiveness of Repetition in Propaganda....
A tried and true strategy....

Ahh...ok...
They're motivated by apathy to hide comments.
I suppose that's an interesting perspective.
Please enjoy your day.
Forgive me, but what reason is that ?
I simply don't see any transactional benefit, from either an editorial or financial standpoint in this particular case.
Most of the published comments from anonymous readers are lambasting NPR as a liberal organization that shouldn't be publicly funded.
Interesting point.
Here's a thought experiment:
Why would a UK based publication, that includes published comments on their stories, wants to "quietly file away" valid criticism of a lede posted on the Internet about an American institution ?
I don't see the value.
I am in the background...I know things...
Kimi is a Verstappen clone.
Fight me 🤣
Every time he gets frustrated and cranky, like a 5 year old, they give him a piece of paper to sign.
That calms him down for an hour or two.
Absolutely amazing 😍
Dude, please...
There are pages of these..
