Huh, due to the name I'd assumed that Crooked Media had something to do with Crooked Timber, the lefty academic blog.

They are just neolibs. And online neolibs are hated to a comical degree.

Despite most people you probably work for being either conservative or if you are lucky a neolib.

Neoliberal is functionally just being conservative without social policy dragging it down.

Granted that tends to supporting the same social policy but hey it’s not personal

most people hate their bosses though, so i would say those political beliefs are symptomatic of the qualities that make a bad boss

I like how a bunch of comments right now are "GO WOKE GO BROKE" as if we're not in the midst of a pandemic that crippled the economy and essentially destroyed media ad sales for the foreseeable future but yeah, its the woke politics that caused this.

I had a friend ask me yesterday why I thought white people who made less than $50,000 a year would ever in a million years vote for Trump, given what happened the last four years. Like what would their incentive be? And I said to me it was more a vote about everything that wasn’t Trump. It was about, you know, a reaction to cancel culture, and the woke left, and celebrities, and kind of being told what to do.
