Ok you’re a retired old guy with nothing to do. If she’ll climb ladders and build windmills I’ll drag my lawn chair and cooler with adult beverages and watch. It’s the least I can do.

It’s in the same category as “stand-up philosopher”.

Huffpo may be hurting financially. There is a chance she won’t be replaced at all.

It’s been a rag for years now. Of course they are hurting financially. I stopped even clicking on anything from them back in 2016 when they started putting a disclaimer under the headline of any article relating to Trump, saying something like “Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobe, Nazi etc”.

Come to think of it, they sort of set the precedent for all the FB/TWTR type “flags” in use over the last 18 months. Screw ‘em all.

What is a “Narrative Reporter”?

A propagandist?


Fiction writer, often dabbling in science fiction.

"Narrative reporter" means "propagandist."

I might be wrong about that.

But these days, probably not.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a curious, motivated narrative reporter with a keen eye for news, keep me in mind."

I hear the skanky hookers out back of the chicken place eat pretty well.

It’d be a shame if people sent her dead ends. Yup. A real shame.

Sharyl Attkisson’s new book “Slanted” talks about this. Essentially, all reporters these days are “narrative reporters”. They set an agenda, provide a narrative to support it, and listen to an echo chamber to prop it up.

It’s what’s wrong with the news media today.

Was her job to insert “unproven” “baseless” “without evidence” or “unfounded” into every story about election fraud?

Well that just breaks my heart.

Guess I’ll go in the living room and kill myself?

Wait I voted today against a school bond levy. If we ain’t made the little turds dumb enough by now, why spend more money? They can’t count change, tell you what three branch’s of the Fed government are, and how you tell male from female & where kids come from. Screw’em.

Wait, you sure you're not a narrative reporter?   Cause that sounded pretty smart.
