Ryan Grim of Drop Site News has been intolerable on this.

    The problem with Ryan is that apparently he knew Platner from when he was a bartender in DC. We should know from Bernie 2020 how much being "good friends" with someone can warp your judgement dem

    Ryan Grim has been a bad take machine lately. What is with these journalists that start out with good positions always devolving into chuddery and crankery? Taibi, Blumenthal, Grim, etc.

    There seems to be a type. Why is it so rare to find any principled journalist in the alt journalism western world? Only ones I can think of in the "alt" sphere that haven't embarrassed themselves are Richard Medhurst (admirable for standing up against legal pressure and trumped up terrorism charges from 2 countries) and Ben Norton. I guess that's your answer right there, if you stick to your guns and say the truth no matter what they law cracks down on you or you get kicked to the curb from your job.

    I genuinely think they give themselves brainworms by being on twitter all day long
