None of this will surprise any Dot Commies who are regulars of the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website. We all know how the journalisming industry sucks at life. But when Dave Portnoy makes the same point, there's an entire generation of apolitical people learning a valuable lesson about who the media is and why not to trust them.

To set the stage, the Barstool President told a joke ten years ago, actively questioned the SCHMOVID lockdown narrative, and is friends with Tucker Carlson. That makes anything he does a potential target for a hit piece. This week, it's his One Bite Pizza Festival. Washington Post reporter Emily Heil has been contacting vendors asking them if they heard what "people" are saying about Portnoy. Dave caught wind of an email:

We are planning to write about the festival and how some of the sponsors and participants have drawn criticism by seeming to associate themselves with Dave Portnoy, who has a history of misogynistic comments and other problematic behavior.

So Dave called the reporter...

It's an eleven-minute video. If you're more busy than usual today, the TL;DR is that Emily lied about the email that Portnoy then read back to her verbatim. And this quote from her exposes all you need to know about modern journalisming.

You know, sometimes you have to say something like this is like, you know, it's sort of a reporting tactic. When you want someone to respond, you kind of have to indicate that there might be something negative and then you get them to engage. That's all I was trying to do.

This is who the media is. They treat most people like this. But when you have a platform that is not being used to promote the progressive political agenda that corporate media supports, you'll be targeted. Portnoy gets it worse because not only does he have that platform, but he also uses it to occasionally say things that contradict that agenda. Hence hit piece after hit piece after hit piece.

Also, his being able to buy the company back for a dollar once Penn Gaming discovered government regulators, those in progressive-run states like Massachusetts and New York, are no different.

Something for a NYC-based media company and "both sides are extreme" independents to consider. If the "far-right" disagrees with something, they say lame sh*t like "Wokestool" and troll you on Twitter. When the far-left, which is basically the mainstream Democrat Party, disagrees with something they will actively try to destroy you.
