I'm always impressed when people can spot bullshit by identifying the author. I see the same thing with political articles and the replies will be like, 'they worked with so and so on the kill all the poors project, you can't trust them'.

I can do the same with ideas, but I'm woefully bad at keeping up with the who's who because I tend not to read or watch reactionary media for lack of time and patience. But sometimes there reactionaries pop up where I don't expect them. Like in your two examples. I'm caught a bit unawares.

Would be handy to have a list of all the vox pops, etc, to be cautious of. Not that people can't change. And there's the thing about broken clocks. But it helps to know the red flags. Like a communist credit agency but for reactionary takes.
