True.
One story had a conservative at a university being questioned for tenure and refused. The man said to him privately I’m actually astonished you got to this level. Our policy is to sabotage and weed out any conservatives before we have to justify their all being denied tenure. But I’ll deny this if you try to tell anyone.
Also, let’s say someone wanted a career writing for magazines or being a regular on television. No one conservative has more than a tiny handful of chances for career advancement while woke types have hundreds of them.
I used to think about the old time Fox News people: if you lost this job where would you go next? MSNBC? PBS?
Like Bill O’Reilly it was unemployment and then a patched together life of podcasts, radio appearances and once a week hour on Glenn Beck on the radio. His books are too big to ignore but now there’s no Fox promotion work for him on his show any longer.
This is so true, and it has affected my career deeply.
