So I was watching Andrew Klavan and he played a clip of Joy Reid. https://youtu.be/TGjEVtOIwkg?t=645 (good video by the way, Klavan has good takes on culture). I avoid corporate news but this clip has unsettled me. It's uncanny. Is this behavior normal in corporate media now? Is it just a cringey "fellow kids" moment where Reid is trying to poorly emulate clapback culture? Is the NPC meme real? I could see her declaring Lil Nas X as the Hero of Kvatch. Is Alex Jones right and they really are all infected with demons. The most unsettling thing is that millions could watch that display and say "yes, this is a thing I will continue to watch and take seriously."

How long do you think their current model will be sustainable? I'm all for bleeding them out, but unless they're losing billions yearly with no end in sight it won't be fast enough to prevent the catastrophic cultural damage done to the rest of us in the meantime. Will the government try to "bail out" the media companies? Absorb them and nationalize them officially so we finally get our own version of the BBC?
