Pete Buttigieg nails it.
Scourge of wokeness, my ass. If we, and the media could just ignore the nonsense from the far right, we’d be a lot better off.
Part of the reason "Breaking Bad" is one of the greatest TV shows of all time is that its central thesis, which feels true, is that there is a monster inside all human beings, and given the chance to come out, it will, indeed, come out.
Anyway, here's an article about a Let the Monster Out Factory.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.
He’s lying. He told us after last year strikes on their nuclear facilities that their nuke program was obliterated. That it would never come back or would take years and years. He’s lying. But…duh. He’s always lying.👇

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.
Respect.
