and I don't think anyone should find any of this at all surprising. I know that I certainly don't. Unfortunately, we live in a time where the news is all about making money and in a world where everything is free on the internet, so it seems, people have to get more and more creative to get those clicks.

I am no fan of Conservative Brief despite the fact that my own political leanings tend to be conservative in nature. I, like anyone else with a political opinion, would like to see "my team" win for the betterment of society. This doesn't mean that I want LIES to be in the information that a lot of "my team" are receiving. In the past 8 years or so, Conservative Brief has gotten more exposure, more clicks, so to speak, than almost any Legacy Media outlet in existence. This is despite the fact that they are a small team of mostly anonymous authors whose every story is poorly written with clickbait titles that if the person actually read the article, they find out that what is in the headline isn't really what the article is about at all.

So the news hit the other day that Joy Reid was being let go from MSNBC after this week and I don't really have an opinion about that woman in particular, but I do have an opinion about MSNBC in a general sense in that they are obvious partisan hacks. Sure, they have a conservative or two on their show but just like with the Colmes half of "Hannity and Colmes", the political person who is not in line with the rest of the networks is intentionally weak.

When I was studying journalism in college, some of the professors would bring out terrible headlines as a minute or two of us laughing a bit and taking the seriousness off of everything that we do a bit. It turned into a hobby of mine and now it is something that I do all the time. It was a lot more fun back when you could collect a paper copy of these things and there were vast Reddit communities that would circulate the bad headlines from all over the world.

I've been on a tear lately regarding Conservative Brief because this organization is just so damn lazy in their reporting to the point where their headlines are frequently misspelled or don't make any sense. This latest one that is about a "who cares" sort of issue, somehow managed to confuse even people who are going to support everything that the right puts out there.

While I celebrate the fact that a majority of people are tuning out to mainstream legacy media, I do not like the fact that many of those people are filling the void with content providers that are probably worse than the MSM. Conservative Brief has emerged as one of the top sources for conservatives to get their news but yet, almost all of what they post is speculative crap that is designed to get conservative all worked out about non-issues and to get them to keep the hatred fire burning towards liberals.
