So is Vox hiring? I’ll cross that picket line? Where do I show up? Anyone with me here?
This is a great day for America.
So, the collective IQ of the internet clicked up a few notches. Nice.
Progressives: no one is around to explain everything to us & what to think.
Really? I hadn't noticed.
Glad to see a group of people can still band together for the greater good, even if it is detrimental to their personal comfort

YouTube is refusing to punish a star with millions of fans after he hurled homophobic slurs at a journalistVox Media journalist Carlos Maza detailed the homophobic abuse he receives from YouTuber Steven Crowder. Kinda missed some info, BI: 'Carlos Maza of Vox has called for the physical assault of people in order to humiliate them. He then is outraged that someone makes fun of him online resulting in his humiliation.' Timcast Crowder is gross. Apparently reached out to everyone except for their opinion except for scrowder for comment. More FakeNews from supposed so-called objective journalists in the MSM.

Media Urged Not To Release Names Of Any More Presidential Candidates In Effort To Prevent CopycatsWASHINGTON—Warning that the promise of publicity and notoriety is often exactly what motivates a run for the White House in the first place, media ethics groups called on news outlets Thursday to stop releasing the names of presidential candidates, part of an effort to stem the tide of copycats. “When a person launches a bid for president and then receives widespread media coverage, it only inspires other unstable individuals out there to do the exact same thing,” said media ethicist Payton Howard, who recommended reporters continue to cover announcements of candidacy when they have news value, but avoid naming the person campaigning for the presidency. “These announcements have been happening nearly every week, often accompanied by some sort of policy proposal that has been written in an attempt to justify the action. But when those ideas get repeated in the media, they can inspire a whole new crop of imitators who seek the attention that comes from a presidential campaign. It is irresponsible to make celebrities out of these people. They are clearly very sick.” At press time, it appeared the new media strategy failed when former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu announced he was running for president. Look, Tim Vanderson and Mitch Mullrooney have a real shot at finishing 15th and 19th respectivly! Zodiac at large =P
