Slam Frank's Blatantly Anti-Semitic IG Post — Page 4

This whole thing is starting to feel like the season-long B-plot of the theatrical equivalent of "The Morning Show," with Ben Schwartz playing an Andrew-Fox-esque character.

With all the talk about deleted threads and leaked conversations, I was expecting something MUCH more damning, but that call seems like more of the same in terms of the show's marketing and tone... plus the fact that it's from last year and not in regards to the current controversy left me wanting more, or at least different, from this whole thing.

"False equivalence" is also how I'd describe the way that people conflate the issues that result from leftists struggling to coalesce (cringe infighting, sloppy messaging) with everything conservatives have been doing for the past fifty years (a ruthless top-down effort to pervert democracy), so I don't have a huge amount of patience for both-sides satire.

did you actually read the whole post or….?

And Slam Frank has decided to steer into the skid.

For the good of the show, someone needs to take away Andrew Fox's phone.

I apologize for missing this when you first posted, but that's actually exactly what I meant when I was talking about false equivalence. In light of what's been going on in just since New Years, I think it's pretty clear that the Left can't afford to be its own worst enemy anymore.

The newest post from Fox is the definition of someone sick to the gills with irony poisoning.
