    Ah. Thread explaining what asymmetric polarization in the U.S. means for the media ecology—there can't be a demand that a left-wing Kevin Williamson write for a rightish-wing Atlantic because there really is no rightish-wing Atlantic, and also no left Milo (as business model). https://twitter.com/ebruenig/status/983004544807391232 …

        Also, M*lo is over enough that I actually typed his name! The way to kill that attention-outrage-grift business model is to ignore it. But his gig is up. (Please don't anyone revive it by not ignoring him. Let him talk to himself).

        My 2017 thread about all this—explaining why Milo was so sheepish, rather than outraged!!! as per brand, when conservatives no-platformed him. OTOH, he literally begs campuses to no-platform him & then performatively goes "ballistic." That was his $$ game.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/833809980449030144 …

        Milo story reminds me of a potentially apocryphal but great story about hashish dens, allegedly, during the Ottoman times.

        Is an explicitly conservative outlet, would never hire a liberal, and also represents very little as far as the conservative base. But, yes, they are not in the Milo/grift game. Also they aren't winning within the party. https://twitter.com/LennyLiebmann/status/983137231861878786 …

        not only will National Review not hire leftwingers, but--and it's the bigger point--we shouldn't try to--can't--fix the problem of mainstream media hiring rightwingers whose rhetoric threatens society by pushing similar vitriol from the Left, or any vitriol.

        our narratives based on the old myths. redemption is part of the cycle. soap opera narratives of bad acts and redemption keep them watching. as we become more mediated, and expect reality to only be spectacle more trumps will arise, with all forgiven/ forgotten by faithful

        There's no more decency and moderation in any right media. They've all been superceded by the fox news buisness model of bullshit. Atlantic seems like the last place for anything, and reversing it's position on that guy was the best decision and proof of decency. I agree with her
