Part of me thinks any normal-ish decent-ish journalist who gets into media is exposed to “the machine” they either get ground down by it or they brake parts of themselves to fit into it. It’s a bummer

chomsky-yes-honey and party-parenti both comment on this sort of filter in their respective works on media criticism

It really is a genuine downer that chomsky is a sex criminal

You almost forget who's on there just because its so many fucking people.

The fact that there genuinely is an elite pedophile cabal and Q somehow manages to target only 1 of the people involved and that one accidentally is so frustrating.

Yes! That is the most frustrating thing about Q "pedophile cabal conspiracies." They make up all this crazy bullshit, instead of what we actually know that's right in the open and that no one has investigated any further since Epstein got Epsteined
