"Prodigious" talents? "Canny" media instincts?
Good grief, did the author of NY Mag sleep with her, so as to shower her with unbridled praise (false praise)? She is neither smart nor canny. Her inane questions during the Presidential Debate confirmed that. She is a so-so celebrity, preening her self in a mirror without contributing to any news cycle. The one smart thing about her is her penchant for getting money; but then again so can a street whore.
More like Ben Shapiro to Michelle Fields. They gush and defend in the hopes the head cheerleader will glance their way. It never works. The popular girl doesn’t like the toady beta.
