Don't want to sound like an asshole, but this has much improved since DD bit it.

Mary McCarthy might have been a viperish, bipolar nymphomaniac. Who cares? Pay attention to what matters most: her writing...

Both Mensch and Kotch said their goal with Heat Street is to push back against what they see as the biggest transgression of the mainstream media — telling readers what to think.

“There is a lot of resistance to being lectured— especially among millennial news sources, which have a lecture-like quality,” Kotch said. “We are the antithesis of that.”

“It’s all very, ‘respect my authoritah, respect my authoritah,’” Mensch joked, referencing a punchline from the Comedy Central show South Park. (She is obviously a South Park fan, offering up a few generous recitations of relevant segments.)
