      7. Now, here is a very clear-cut case of @sullydish misrepresenting someone. Will he apologize? Will @NYMag issue a retraction & apology? LOL.

      8. It's easy enough to criticize Andrew Sullivan. Let's take it step further and ask about New York magazine editor Adam Moss (is he on twitter?)

      9. Adam Moss made the decision that @sullydish, someone who finds Asian names & accents to be inherently funny, was a good person to write about the Jeong controversy.https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/363407519755939840 …

      10. Addendum. This lays out in an even clearer manner the fact that the tweet Sullivan objected to was one parodying Sullivan himself:https://twitter.com/awprokop/status/1025484876278112261 …

      12. Addendum: @sullydish is avidly promoting a charming fellow who a) is offended at a joke making "rice cooking app for white people" b) repeatedly uses the phrase "white genocide" without irony. c) reads a joke about alt-right paranoia about "white genocide" literallypic.twitter.com/PsXrs0pePN

      13. The concept "white genocide" has a particular provenance. It's a signature concept of the alt-right. @sullydish is helping mainstream this idea and Adam Moss is totally okay with that.

      14. Here's the thing. If you are offended by "rice cooking app for white people" how do you deal with "White Men Can't Jump," Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me" or, in fact, 99% of hack stand up comedy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L104LViQeIw …

      15. Hypothesis: leftists tend to slightly over-rate Evelyn Waugh & Anthony Powell out of a nostalgia for conservatives who understood irony & satire.

      16. Oh look, the Jeong critic that @sullydish avidly promoted & repeatedly re-tweeted thinks we should keep an open mind about Pizzagate. Cool, cool.pic.twitter.com/D6ceFzG0de

      17. So, to recap: in his eagerness to discredit Sarah Jeong, @sullydish promoted a guy who believes alt-right theory that "white genocide" is a real threat & is Pizzagate curious. And Adam Moss is okay with this & doesn't think it reflects poorly on New York magazine. Cool!!!!

          Yep, and the reason he has any real notoriety now is because The Escapist hired him as its publisher decided to make the publication full Alt-Right (the publisher later went on to work for Milo). What happened there is discussed here about 17 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4CZJgR-ekY …

          You should learn to read better so you can pick up on irony and satire. It'll make your life better.

          He blocked me after I called him out for spreading a hoax after the Manchester concert attack. He routinely gloms onto trending topics to find women he can Target or false information he can spread. Here's the hoax tweet. https://mobile.twitter.com/nickmon1112/status/866807846679326720 …
