I watched the youtube clip where Scott Adams did his racist star turn, and another where he "explained" himself.

It seemed clear that he knew he would lose the strip. He was quite deliberate about it.

More like a career move than an outburst. Planned cancelling.

Not the quiet part said out loud, but the loud part delivered quitely and calmly.

"In a practice known as “forum shopping,” conservative groups have zeroed in on the Amarillo division of the Northern District of #Texas as a go-to place...

Because Amarillo is a federal district with a single judge, plaintiffs know their arguments will be heard by Kacsmaryk — who, like any federal judge, is positioned to issue rulings with #nationwide implications."

Maybe I’ve overlooked analysis on this, but it seems like media commentators and the center-left press are missing something critical about the revelations of Fox News’s duplicity, which is that a ton (most, I suspect) of GOP viewers already believe that this is how all mainstream media works.

They already believe that all big media orgs intentionally distort the truth. Nearly half of Republican viewers don’t even trust the Weather Channel.
