      Every single day I'm accused online of being a "grifter," presumably because I receive a modest crowdfunding income and payment for published articles. Yeah guys, I'm really rolling in the dough. Penthouse apartment, private jet, sports car, luxurious vacations: the works

      I also note that journalists who work for massive corporate conglomerates are never accused of being "grifters," even though they're exponentially less transparent about everything they do than I am -- from finances, to reporting methods, to their personal political views

          You create something of value which I agree to purchase? The characterization of such transactions as “grifting” is an interesting tactic.

          its unclear to me why they pursue the stories they do. Someone is paying for the many false narratives.

          Those are shills. Grifters are more creative and independent

          No one has accused you of being a particularly successful grifter - you're completely correct that it has done nothing to make you wealthy. That hasn't stopped you from trying. The con artist doesn't succeed every day but he persists, knowing that suckers are born every minute.

          I wonder if Maggie is considered a grifter for “teeing” up stories for the podesta’s. Keep doing you fam

          mainstream journalism is dead on both the left and right, it is totally ruled by advertising interests and threatened by social media......anyone who just reads or watches one viewpoint, left or right, is woefully uninformed. It's like one big lunchtime drunk crowd moaning

          'Grifter' is just another snarl word, used interchangeably with 'heretic' the moment money becomes involved

          The network (Fox) you go on to defend Trump is the grift. I don’t think you are a willing participant.
