    Imagine having one of the cushiest sinecures imaginable and still doing a completely self-discrediting side hustle.https://twitter.com/CraigSilverman/status/1365380061856227330 …

    On Tues, NYT columnist David Brooks wrote a 900-word ode to Facebook Groups. Don't look for it in the Times -- it was published on FB's corporate website. Brooks also appeared in a company video, and didn't tell his editors what he was doing. w/@rmac18: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/nyt-david-brooks-blogs-for-facebook …

        The "self-discrediting hustle" was a PR gig he performed on Zuckerberg's behalf? For a moment, I thought you were referring to his books...

        Imagine getting offered 6 or 7 figures to do anything? I think it would be hard to turn down, no matter how much money you have. Same reason why we hear about Tina Popstar performing at Stan Dictator's birthday and Al FedChief giving speeches to Stingy Bank, LLC.

        People have long thought Bobo Brooks was smart. Those people have always been wrong.
