Jen SorensenLatest comic on a certain pundit's infamous $78 airport meal
(For those outside the US, the commentator David Brooks has made a career out of piously trolling liberals for their supposed decadence and lack of morals.)
I believe that the economy still feels tough for many people because the cost of living is still high relative their incomes, even if inflation is trending down. But what Brooks did here appears to be intellectually dishonest, a lapse of journalistic ethics in the service of a political cheap shot.
Seiðr@jensorensen I could argue that columnists have become far more stupid and/or disconnected from reality, but then I learned yesterday about Tom Wolfe and how his "radical chic" fucked the contacts of the Black Panthers Party and I think most columnists have always been a bunch of fuckers.
wb x64@Illuminatus @jensorensen it's pretty hard to survive in the biz without being a self promoting sanctimonious twat who decides the story before they start the interview and goes for maximum outrage. The humble investigative reporters get shat on time and then again for not producing results people want and not making the paper money and making people feel complex bad emotions that produce backlash, so they rarely last (or pay the bills some other way)
