Interesting indeed. Did you notice market incentives as you went the mainstream route over the right wing one? Or did you just not feel it in your heart to trigger libs all day? I would be so curious for your thoughts on Liz’s point.

This is an interesting topic, and I could talk a lot about it. But yeah, with a few notable exceptions, I generally don’t have the triggering gene.

Media are now largely being driven by controversy, outrage, indignation and Schadenfreude...hardly healthy...

@ebruenig and to conflate Williamson with say, Milo, is colossally unfair to Williamson. He doesn’t trigger for the sake of itThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Not really. Can be summed up with transparently self-serving and dubious conclusion that “it’s all the right wing media’s fault.” Nah.

She’s right. Conservatives reward increasingly extreme takes even if they recognize them as extreme (which happens less than it should.) On the left when people go too extreme (Dunham) they are ostracized.

It's hard for me to imagine someone so critical of Trump as a lib triggering conservative.

Matt, the problem is that there is only one conservative outlet, FOX, and they've got their programming schtick. If we had one other network that could run conservative and solid news/event reporting people would have more options. Liberals have options everywhere to work.
