So I lurk a lot, both keep sane during the week, and to pick up some story ideas. I wanted to make this post a while ago and chickened out, but seeing that post about Maddow fawning over Biden's new dog made me want to try with this account again.
US media is absolutely a big-L Liberal institution. But you'd be surprised how many socialists, or socdems at least, write for smaller and mid-size newsrooms. So AMA about trying to be a reporter with leftist views in a decidedly anti-left racket, or about the inner workings of American news outlets that aren't CNN, MSNBC or Fox.
What motivates you?
I genuinely love learning about shit going on and writing about it. And pinning some asshole small business owner or politician against the wall for something they did or said is fun too. Plus I'm gay and I grew up in a trade union house. Being gay in the white-boomer-guy trades is something I'd like to avoid.
Nice. I’m impressed!
