Angela Nagle’s accent is nice. I give her a pass for this reason.

apparently she doesn't speak on the ep she's just in the room.
i haven't heard her accent. i have unfortunately read her takes. im the child of a refugee so she can eat my ass

Has Michael Tracey done/written anything particularly notable/worth reading? I feel like I’ve only become aware of him in the context of him going on Carlson to rant about russiagate.
― JoeStork, Thursday, 28 March 2019 00:28 (five years ago) link
And half of twitter arguing about him, but I’m not clear why he matters.

None of these people have done anything notable. They could all be buried in the same avalanche at no loss to the world.

Michael Tracey is a weird contrarian freelance journo,basically unfollowable on twitter because his hot takes are so annoying. His claim to fame is reporting during the Trump campaign and predicting Trump's victory.

I'm ok with Glenn generally, but going on Tucker Carlson to gloat about russiagate seems dumb. Nothing wrong with going on Tucker's show, and more people should do so, but only if you're going to actually use his platform otherwise you're just his useful idiot.
The Michael Tracey guy seems unhinged, desperate to make a bigger name for himself, or both. Not a person to be taken seriously at any rate

How exactly is this supposed to work? It's well documented that if a Carlson segment goes poorly for him, he just won't air it.
― grawlix (unperson), Monday, 1 April 2019 20:27 (five years ago) link
If thats a reference to the Dutch historian thing, I thought the historian guy totally blew that. Tucker would have aired the clip if the historian had stuck to talking about taxation. His decision to launch into a full blooded takedown of Fox/Carlson was never going to air and he knew that, was playing to gallery for the retweets instead.
You don't need the segment to go poorly for Carlson to still get points of view across (taxation, anti-war, legalization, m4a or whatever)
― anvil, Monday, 1 April 2019 20:39 (five years ago) link
no one should ever go on tucker's show for any reason. i'm the final arbiter of this. thanks.
also glenn greenwald is perfectly indefensible. lock thread.

I've been to one of those conferences, it was a nightmare. Bill Cosby gave a speech that was basically a long riff on "get off my lawn, kids". Somehow the only moderately decent speech was Colin Powell.

I honestly don't get why Greenwald is so ride or die to defend Trump from accusations of corruption. Today he's hammering on "the only thing those Resistance wackos are unhappy about in Barr's report is that he suppressed any discussion of the evidence that people working for Trump obstructed justice," which, um, yeah, why would that not be something to be seriously unhappy about?

This 100+ thread is a tough read:
1) So now we have self-described “progressives” like @ggreenwald and @mtracey telling us that the threat of white nationalism in the USA is “nonexistent” (as Tracey put it), and when called out for that GG chimes in and claims that we “needs be keep the threat in perspective.” pic.twitter.com/89CDRKzN1v— David Neiwert (@DavidNeiwert) May 20, 2019
