      Honestly the screenshot police, tattle-tales, and faux moralizers at Media Matters are some of the most consistently pathetic people on the planet

      But you wrote an entire series entitled "Pundit Accountability Initiative" and were the author of this post that argued said "internet sleuths" are a "small price to pay" to maintain a "public journalistic/commentary record."https://medium.com/theyoungturks/should-journalists-really-be-indiscriminately-deleting-their-old-tweets-32896186a68b …

      They’re not imposing genuine accountability on anyone, they’re just faux moralizers and petty outrage merchants.

      OK, then I'd be very interested to hear, in detail, how their online documentation of pundits' past comments and behavior differs from the Pundit Accountability Initiative series you did? Can you explain how you justify calling their work fake and less genuine than what you do?

      The principles on which I operated to carry out that initiative never had to do with cynical morality police outrage-peddling, it was about identifying contradictions and inconsistencies with regard to issues that actually matter.

          You realize your argument is 100% subjective and could easily be made by @mmfa…or anyone else. I mean, I'll even concede Media Matters has an (obvious) Democratic bias, but to argue they've had no impact on egregrious pundit misconduct just isn't true.https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/may/26/sean-hannity-advertiser-boycott-fox-news-seth-rich …

          Yes, I realize my argument is subjective. I'm subjectively asserting that Media Matters traffics in frivolous, faux-moralizing crap to generate cheap outrage.

          Carlson's ardent defense of Warren Jeffs is both outrageous *and* something we absolutely should know about as we consider Carlson's lay-opinions on variety of topics.

          Oh I get it. So we should just not hold them accountable unless it directly contradicts something they said about policy earlier got it. Gonna be a lot of racial slurs thrown around at Tracey’s next media gathering, I reckon...

          So your point is that since Tucker is obvious racist and misogynistic, there is no reason to call him out on it? You can only call him out if he professes to NOT be racist and misogynistic? Even though he claims to not be. Nice work, pretzel boy.

          So, statutory rape and child marriage isn't an issue, or isn't an important issue? When he opines that Michael Vick would be executed and Warren Jeffs would be on the streets if he made the laws - sounds like a criminal justice issue to me.
