    Huh. I’d thought of Vox as being a reasonably reliable site, but handing a page over to a shill and not even telling readers he’s a shill… Jeez, even Fox News identifies the shills with a chyron.

      It took a pretty big downward turn when the exodus of founders and longtime staff occurred a couple years ago. Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Dara Lind, and Jane Coaston leaving were all major hits that the place never recovered from.

      Hell, they took a bunch of Sam Bankman-Fried’s money and then reported on how cool effective altruistically is.

    Ain’t most of the internet is paid shills?

    I guess we do get normies still get butt hurt when they hear term fake news. Vast majority of content is paid for and it is there to sway your opinion against your own self interest.

    Apparently having a college degree didn’t teach people jack shit about spotting shameless propaganda lol
