Pretty much everyone is mocking Taylor Lorenz' WaPo article about how EVIL conservatives scuppered the new Ministry of Truth. You remember Taylor, don't you? She's the one who doxxed the woman who ran the Libs of TikTok account and then sobbed about how mean everyone was to her.
Anyhow, this is the bit from her article that is the most jaw droppingly stupid:
Jankowicz’s case is a perfect example of this system at work, said Emerson T. Brooking, a resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. “They try to define people by these single, decontextualized moments,” Brooking said. “In Nina’s case it’s a few TikTok videos, or one or two comments out of thousands of public appearances. They fixate on these small instances and they define this villain.”...Okay, Taylor - now do Roseanne.
The Czar of Muscovy wrote a long, long time ago that you will understand the media perfectly if you just think of them as mean middle school girls. Jealous. not very smart, but mean.
Yes....just like petty middle school girls. And it really wouldn't matter except they are managing to insinuate themselves into positions where thay can do real harm to people and society. THAT is the problem.
ReplyDeleteThe absolute BALLS on these people to accuse anyone - literally ANYONE - of condemning people for single, out of context occurrences. As if these folks think that's a bad thing. They're only mad because they see someone using their tactics against them. These people will literally fine-tooth comb through a person's entire life to find one gray, out-of-context thing that they can destroy them over. I'm reminded most recently of their "Joe Rogan said the N-word" hit piece.
ReplyDeleteFor pete's sake, I cannot imagine being that un-self-aware.
