      imagine being more of a degenerate reptilian that Matt

      I like this ad:

      FACT:

      Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and the wealthy wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do. please join us with a tax-deductible donation today so we can keep on doing the type of journalism 2021 demands.

        Imagine if someone had told you in 2016 that Shoe0nhead would criticise Mother Jones from the left, while Mother Jones is criticising Yglesias from the right.

        "In August 2017 journalist and Mother Jones contributor Glenn Greenwald criticized an article published by the magazine titled "Are People Disgusted By the Homeless?" by Kevin Drum"

        Seems like Kevin Drum is just being paid to be the punching bag byline for articles that the editorial team agree with.

          Does he even really exist? They could just make him up rather than subject one of their editors to be hated.

          Edit: I was on my phone, he has a wikipedia page so it's pretty clear he does exist. Lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Drum

      Is it too late to do juche necromancy on the real Mother Jones so she can pump them full of lead?
