ThinkProgress founder Judd Legum – who has been termed the company’s ‘Progressive in Chief’ – criticized Milo’s interview with Bill Maher, before admitting he didn’t actually watch it.

This I can forgive. I sometimes comment on FR articles before I even read the Heading, no less the article :) jk
I would not give im a pass.
You dont make a living off of your reputation reading or not reading and criticizing media stuff. That guy does.
The guy has a job, which is to be a liberal shill. He can’t always keep up with all that’s out there, so sometimes he has to improvise.
This is the state of the MSM, our opinion-molders. Is it any wonder DJT is crapping all over them?
The press is almost totally politicized, almost totally partisan.
It used to be that journalists pretended to take an oath of objectivity and truthfulness. That pretension is laughable these days.
I was just kidding. Of course I agree. You know me better than that :)
It speaks volumes of why the Establishment media seems to speak with one voice.
He read the NYTs article about it. That is considered the definitive source, more so than the actual event.
ThinkProgress is Soros.
Maybe in his mind he thought he watched it. Perhaps he should get some counseling?
well, ya got me.... :-)
“...the Establishment media seems to speak with one voice.”
Recently I had a chit-chat with an acquaintance / reporter at a certain Major Daily. He referred to Milo as a “white nationalist.”
When I asked where he’d gotten that idea, and suggested he watch a few of Milo’s youtubes, he responded, nope, no need to, because he’d already heard about Milo’s “racism” -— from a bunch of other reporters !
But apparently, my suggestion that he needed to educate himself bothered him enough that he felt a need to prove me wrong, by showing some kind of terrifying rise of scary white people in America.
Within a few days, I noticed this same reporter /acquaintance had written a “news” story about a sudden, alarming influx of “white nationalists” that was “sparking outrage” in his area of the country.
His source? SPLC. The substance of the story? ZERO.
Verified or verifiable facts? ZERO.
SPLC had given him a bunch of phone numbers of “white supremacist” groups that had ostensibly opened OFFICES in his area.
His story simply noted that he’d phoned EVERY one of these “white nationalist” or “supremacist” offices-—and NOBODY ANSWERED THE PHONES! That was sum total of the story!
So, yeah. What you’re saying is uber-true.
It’s fun to be an expert on stuff you don’t really know anything about.
Ask any journalist!
