| This doesn't cohere into an argument, its like a loose pile of grievances and suppositions about...who, exactly? For easier scanning I've extracted this author's ideas as to what constitutes "heresy": - Accusations of politicians and celebrities - Cheap pablum for frothing basement trolls and listicles of reasons never to let your kids leave the house - Election conspiracy theories - A new expose on why red wine and chocolate will cure Covid - Corporate public relations expressing the deepest committment of the NFL to protect everyone and only good from here on out Do these things sound at all similar to each other, like they would be produced by a homogenous group of people? Does it sound reasonable that these things are produced by low-paid writers in Brooklyn due to the financial pressures of middle age? As far as I can tell, the progressive unionized sports writers of Brooklyn have been more vocal than anybody against the public relations arm of the NFL, to take one example. I wonder if the unidentified group of people this guy has a problem with - who do the "progressive cosplay" and produce "little in the way of insight or information" - are even that low paid. Journalism on the whole doesn't pay well, but some national outlets in NYC really do! Unfortunately, this article has no insight or information on the topic. |
