I just thought it was hokey and formulaic.
From Micosoft: “Zeeshan Aleem is a New York City-based freelance journalist, columnist for VICE, and Adjunct professor at the New School who writes about politics, policy and society. Her expertise is in American politics, and she focuses most of her attention these days on the Democrats and the left.” There are photos of Zeeshan as a heavily bearded male.
That's what makes it insidious. You've been INSIDIOTED!!!
