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.
philtor šŗš¦š»@jensorensen I was kind of surprised that when he was asked about this incident on the PBS news hour he said it was really stupid of him to have tried to make this joke and he wished he hadn't posted it.
Mike Myers@philtor @jensorensen typical republican tactic. Say something thatās misleading or an outright lie and when people donāt buy your bullshit, claim it was a joke. Thereās nothing funny about the claims he was making. There wasnāt any joke. He just got burned and said āoh I shouldnāt have made that ājokeāā.
