It was - because it revealed the formula that the entire media operates under. Not the simple version of "sex for reviews" but "promotion and positive press for the progressive egregore, attacks against those who threaten it".https://twitter.com/EvanPlatinum/status/1445824215148494858 …

From some dangerhair getting publicity for her awful "game" to climate science, to epidemiology, to systemic racism, to whatever - the formula is the same - which the journalist side recognized *immediately* and so it attacked. Some on the other side on this issue noticed, too.

When someone accuses the media of doing something for money or sex they scoff and feel righteous indignation - they don't do *anything* directly for such base motives - they promote the cause (being a member of the club is how they get money & sex, but that's just life to them)

Remember how gg went after advertisers and inflicted material costs and damages on their adversaries and then everyone on that just seemed to forget how to do that

But that's the thing - they *didn't* inflict material costs on their adversaries - they inflicted material costs on their adversaries' *hosts*. You think some lost sales are even close to the greatest cost employing progressive egregore members cause?

But that's the thing - the real battle is within the company - anyone focused on profit (or who is a secret anti-progressive) wants to expel them - maybe costing the company money helps them in the internal battle, maybe it doesn't - and that's the actual battle.
