A writer after my own heart, even if I cannot bear the puffed up toadfish he's become since gaining (what miniscule) "celebrity" status (he's ekked out in certain circles).
What I'm getting at is that he takes three paragraphs to languorously, etc etc etc etc etc!... get to the blasted point!
LoL!
Which just means I better show the choice bit myself as otherwise I'll lose the even, at best!, *one*, singley person not filtered already by my verbose, though well-intentioned and high-spirited, not to say rambling and desultory, exposition here.

*AHEM*

The great power center of 2008 is the Cathedral. The Cathedral has two parts: the accredited universities and the established press. The universities formulate public policy. The press guides public opinion. In other words, the universities make decisions, for which the press manufactures consent. It’s as simple as a punch in the mouth.

Whole wine-drenched thing is worth reading, imo.
Even or especially if you disagree. Especially if you think "democracy is under attack".

>durdurdoink so like um you didn't even read the book... and yet you're telling us you don't want to read it?
>check and mate, chud!
This is particularly rich and lulzy line of attack coming from people who not only refuse to read *anything* not recommended by NYTs, WaPo, HuffPo, LA Times, the Guardian, the Atlantic, Salon, Buzzfeed, Vice, Late Night Talk Show hosts beyond count, DemocracyNow!, the New Yorker, etc...or even from *a website* deemed "racist", "fascist", "right-wing", (TakiMag, Unz Review) etc etc etc (trust me I've done the footwork, laid myself at their feet and tried to get them to "PLZZZ, just read a single article! How can that hurt you? How could it possible harm you at all?! Etc) "WS" and etcetcetc through the entire gauntlet of mind numbing "no-no" terms applied to anyone who disagrees.
They literally *blacklist* & report & try-to-get-fired any one on the bad list.

And yet here they are!
WHY WON'T YOU READ MY SIDE'S CRAP, WHAT ARE YA, CHICKEN??

I've read "Kill All Normies",
Brazile's, "Hacks" (not, as it turns out, about venal journalists),
"What Happened?" by HRC,
"New Right", M. Malice (not as good as might assume),
"Flag and Cross"
by Gorski
& many others!
Even read fkn Van Jones' shitty book about the election he helped lose!!

*Jonathan Haidt is a damned fine writer by the way!*

But anyone not carrying a torch for Current Inquisition...and that's exactly what it is, anons, AN INQUISITION ... is drown out and trampled underfoot.

Point here is that I've done my due diligence, MFs
Reading books by people who wouldn't
piss on me if I was on fire.

& I was there after all.
so I don't really *need* to be told what happened.
Still, I read enough not to need another tooth grinding exercise in patience.
Esp to please you!
