All The Packaged Hatred And Divisiveness That’s Fit To Print
“Some news media organizations now present showmen masquerading as political thinkers who package hatred and divisiveness as entertainment.”
Why yes, that is indeed Al Gore, the same showman masquerading as a political thinker who packaged hatred and divisiveness as entertainment by previously attacking anyone who disagrees with him as a “Digital Brownshirt” and de facto Holocaust denier.
And note that he’s writing in the New York Times, which only last fall compared conservatives to Stalinists.
Al, Pinch, please make amends for those smears, and then we’ll talk.
Update: Roger Kimball rhetorically asks, “Admit it: you can’t think of Al Gore any more without tittering, can you?”
Heck, even Apple shareholders are losing faith in the Goracle.
Meanwhile, here’s some more packaged hatred and divisiveness from the Times.
Speaking of the New York Times and “Hatred And Divisiveness”
PJM’s own Ron Rosenbaum has a theory on why the Times is falling in standards.

To him, it’s the fault of all this pesky new media.
I guess for Ron the times was better in the days of Walter Duranty.
“And note that he’s writing in the New York Times, which only last fall compared conservatives to Stalinists.”
That’s a compliment. Right?
Arty,
“That’s a compliment. Right?”
That’s what I wondered in a video last fall.
