And that brings us to the inevitable unpleasantness of the Double Down, a factor so obvious that it seems pedantic to complain about: It’s just kind of gross to eat fried chicken patties with your hands.
Chait’s brain rot has progressed to the point where jbouie is now trying to give him basic lessons in critical thinking skills (Reed is the “whistleblower” who went to Bari Weiss with stuff about attack helicopters, so Bouie is referring to her batshit, uncorroborated account that people like Chait and Singal have gone all-in on versus actual reporting from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch talking to parents who have taken their kids there who are like “uh none of this stuff is true”)
My son’s nanny comes at 8 a.m., and we take our daughter to our neighborhood coffee place. It’s our fun little ritual before we start our days. My daughter has had a nanny since she was 4 months old, who she absolutely adores.
I think it’s Michael Hobbes or else Peter who keeps making the point that these chuds always want to skip straight over the facts on the ground and get to the meta-narrative of whining about the media. Is the lab leak theory correct? lol, IDK, what’s important is that the diabolical media’s efforts to suppress right-wing cranks is failing.
Here Nate is tripping over his own dick, though. It’s not misinformation if the lab leak theory really is bullsiht! You do actually have to decide if the lab leak thing has merit before crowing about how correct the public is on the lab leak theory.
Nate the Numbers Guy being like “definitely the fault of the liberal media for saying the lab leak theory was BS” (note: the liberal media gave plenty of oxygen to the lab leak story lol, what planet is he living on) “that so many people believe it now, the conservatives amplifying it all over their news & social media had nothing to do with it” is some of the dumbest punditry he’s ever performed, and that’s a high bar
press and research institutions: there’s another round of covid misinformation
nate: that’s not the effect of misinformation, the public is too sophisticated for that. it’s a reaction to labeling it ‘misinformation’.
