The article repeatedly states that Cum Town explicitly identifies as non-political and that the Chapo hosts have no interest in speaking on behalf of The Left, and then continues on as if those facts aren't in direct conflict with the article's headline. The article doesn't lie, but also seems to exist solely to help headline-skimmers equate the left with misogyny.

I'm very interested to hear what women in the DSA have to say about sexism in the DSA. I'm not interested in people "monitoring leftist misogyny" with their only examples being Julian Assange, Harvey Weinstein, and a podcast called Cum Town.

You're giving the article way too much credit. It doesn't explicitly identify Cum Town as non-political, it implies the exact opposite.

In the article, it's written that "the hosts of Chapo have actively promoted the DSA, while Cum Town is less political." That 'less' is doing a lot of work there. It implies that the connection between Cum Town and the DSA/leftist politics is simply 'less' strong than Chapo's. This is true in the sense that zero is less than a positive number, but what it implies (that Cum Town is somewhat political, just not as much as Chapo) is not true.

Then, in a later paragraph, it's written that "for its part, Chapo tends to argue that it is primarily a comedy show — and that neither it nor Cum Town should be held to the standard applied to political leaders, when their main goal is to make their listeners laugh." This is pretty misleading. It makes it sound like the argument of how Chapo should be judged and the argument of how Cum Town should be judged are one and the same (which isn't true afaik), which, again, just implies that the podcasts are similar.

Right under that it says "Cum Town has similarly denied that it is about politics." The 'similarly' makes the point that the two podcasts are roughly the same in spirit, if maybe not in execution. And then, what is the word 'denied' even doing here. Whether a podcast is or isn't about politics is not a philosophical question. The authors of this article can listen to multiple episodes of Cum Town and come to a conclusion about whether it is a political podcast or not, which they don't do. Not only do they not do that, they don't even put a description of Cum Town when they are defining terms earlier in the article. They simply say that Cum Town is 'more vulgar than Chapo' (which is coming right after an argument that Chapo uses vulgarity to confront capitalism, therefore implying that Cum Town is just confronting capitalism in an even more vulgar way) and that Cum Town says it's 'not interested in politics'. Again, why 'Cum Town says'? You can listen to 4 episodes of Cum Town and conclude pretty quickly that there's almost no actual politics there other than maybe making GBS threads on Donald Trump occasionally.


TLDR: The article just says that the people who make Cum Town think/say it isn't about politics and paints it as just being a more vulgar Chapo.

“The NFL Protests Are a Perfect Study of How White Supremacy Works” reads the headline on a recent article at the Root. Which is confusing if you think of “white supremacy” as an apartheid system like Jim Crow, and “white supremacists” as angry people running around in sheets and hoods. The Root's looser use of “white supremacy,” to describe something considerably less explicit than advocating a race war, has become increasingly common.

In the 1990s, Food Lion gained a degree of notoriety when it was the subject of an ABC News investigation. ABC had received a tip about unsanitary practices at Food Lion. Two ABC reporters had posed as Food Lion employees, and witnessed the unsanitary practices at Food Lion. Much of what they had seen was videotaped with cameras hidden in wigs that they were wearing. The footage was then featured in a segment on the news magazine Primetime Live, in which Food Lion employees described unsanitary practices, which included bleaching discolored, expired pork with Clorox and repackaging expired meats with new expiration dates, and the use of nail polish remover to remove the expiration dates from dairy item packages.

You don't even have to go that far to realize why the article is a hit piece. It claims to be about socialist women talking about misogyny on the left, but the bulk of the quotes are from men and the bulk of the quotes are about 2 podcasts. Remove all the male quotes and all the text about podcasts and what remains is like 4 paragraphs of women saying "the left isn't worse than other sides, but still have work to do."
