A fattish _Gamma Male_ of paralyzing stupidity...on whom the stability of the party depends.

So 1984 meets Brave New World. Talk about a Political Horror Story!

I'm sad to say that Brian Stelter (and also Amy Shumer) and I all share the same alma mater.

Towson U. Go Tigers!

1) Potato down, Lemon on deck. 2) Not surprised to hear someone admit that the conspiracy against Trump exists; they're basically flaunting the fact that they can do anything they want and get away with it. Although I had to look up "who is sam harris" to see who this guy even was.

One can always hope!

I'm not really sure, I just liked the pun of potato/lemon. I honestly only know about CNN from what Jim writes about here :)

I do.

"Get Woke, Go Broke" you say? Regardless of their desires to be Supportive of The Latest Thing, once the money dries up they remember what really matters: the money.

Boys, let's pour one out for The Tater. I, for one, will miss this no-talent schlub.

I've said for I don't know how long, that Tater is the epitome of White Privilege. He should have never ascended past the level of "Fresno Action News Reporter, Weekends and Holidays Division." But yet here he was, top of the damn cable food chain! I will say this; he eagerly, determinedly, went after any and all conservative. He was very good at being the overfed and under-walked chihuahua of the Corporate Cable News Cabal.

I think my favorite part about Tater was how his Twitter avi is of him from in his college days... young, svelte, a bit more hair and bit less chin. That was the Tater that Tater dreamed of being.

But, what the flying F**k do I know! I don't know squat. I know the Vuelta España started today, and I really am pulling for that Remco kid. Massive talent, a bit fragile on the ego, so let's see how he does with the second most powerful squad at his command. Podium prediction: Jai Hindley, Remco Evenepool, Primoz Roglić... in what order? I don't know.

Stelter is the human equivalent of milk-fed veal, absent the delicious taste.

Damn, good one there Pi. Almost as if Orwell gazed in to the future, and saw Brian's massive, quivering head staring back at him.

I clicked the #SheHulk hashtag and it was just a bunch of knobs gassing on about who Cap may or may not slept with. Guess this fails the Bechdel Test

The Harris piece was nauseating - but as long as some folks think he's right we are in deep caca

So, is Stelter *really* gonna learn to code? 'Cause that would have him adding to the world's wealth. I just can't see that happening. If he got hired in the private sector, I see him acting like David Spade in "Coneheads," sucking up to the boss and insinuating himself into every social transaction.

And I'm getting kind nervous about your attraction to large, green, super-strong chicks. Time to re-watch Uma Thurman in "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."

I work with developers all day. There are some seriously super smart people out there writing code.

Stelter... isn't.

Everyone seems to be on The Tatenator so I'll pile on:

"He was a fattish but active man of paralysing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms -- one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than on the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended."

He had a show that was supposed to explain to We the Little People how journalism works. Instead it just ended up being the greatest Single-Stream Progressive Talking Point Reinforcement Hour.

I believe this was December 2019:

According to Dave Weigel of the Washington Post, Biden said, “Anybody who can go down 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well… Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God’s sake!”

Bye Tater.
