Being 'into politics '

[Mr. Tea]

SomethingAwful skewered "brands" brilliantly seven years ago, and it's more relevant now than ever: https://www.somethingawful.com/guides/grow-your-brand/1/

I'm pretty sure everyone who works in journalism is aware of that at this point

from my admittedly outside perspective it seems, understandably, like a great source of consternation for many ppl

but it also it's just the reality that has long been true for most content creators finally reaching the last bastions of prestige journalism

I guess I know that, but I was quite surprised by how explicit and upfront Conde Nast are about it. Why not, though?

Who has the best brand in journalism atm?

I guess I know that, but I was quite surprised by how explicit and upfront Conde Nast are about it. Why not, though?

it's the savvy play. just acknowledge the reality and stop pretending that old media matters in any way.

I mean what's the alternative, continue to pretend that print magazines matter to anyone anywhere?

There's no room for politics these days, just oppression and submission, facilitated by controlled opposition. It's going to be a Grrrreat Reset, enjoy!

Kraner and I do not read each other.

I'm sure that right but I didn't read it I don't care about any of them I was just talking about the language

the flounce is a great big performance innit, i suppose it's like a big blustering pre-emptive self-cancellation can be a really good career move if you time it nicely,

Is this conscious hip-hop?

This is one of the funniest ones:



"Write a column"!

@zinovievletter
I tried writing a column and just got buried under an avalanche of "gender-critical" op-eds until the only options were to devote every word of my writing to bad faith "debates" or quit. I did the latter, at the NS, in 2015, without tweeting about being "cancelled".

Mate, if you were any more gnomic you'd be sat on a concrete toadstool, fishing from a goldfish pond in a suburban front garden.

HMG has the secret formula

"Judge someone’s real politics by how they behave and communicate in the run-up to an election, rather than in the “safe” fallow period between elections."

That's also when they tell the biggest whoppers though.

British political journalism is filled with these brilliant men.
