Also, the latest from Marshall: With the growth in the partisan web, the dumbing down of the various tribes has become a very large industry.
The various tribes must be pandered to, served their favorite porridge. It isn't just for the ditto-heads any more! There's money in dumbing us down!
We expect to review the dumbing down of the Maddow Show as part of a series next week. For today, we think Josh Marshall has hit rock bottom with this, the ultimate dumb-down.
"Grassley Compares Garland to Foreign Dictator," Josh's tribalized headline screams. As he continues, he dumbs TPM readers way down. Presumably, there's gold in them there hills!
MARSHALL (3/18/16): A good life lesson: once you do stupid, terrible things, pretty soon you have to end up saying stupid, terrible things. Here's the Chuck Grassley edition.Go ahead! Check out the "stupid, terrible thing" Grassley actually said. Our question, after clicking Marshall's link:
How dare Chuck Grassley say that Judge Garland is "a decent person?"
We told you last week that Josh has taken this route. During the last decade, a very smart person became a businessman. He's now dumbing his liberal readers way, way down.
It's very, very hard to believe that this serves the society's interests. Apparently, though, this sort of thing is very good for business. Just look around our massively dumbed-down web.
The dumbing-down of true believers isn't just for Hannity fans any more! Regarding those adult coloring books, you'll have to see our next post.
That is, indeed, incredibly dishonest click-bait. I don't think I've seen anything so dishonest even on Salon, which wallows in such click-bait tactics.
ReplyDeleteWell, never did follow TPM much. I should write Josh a condemning letter, but... (yawn). And I'm not saying that it isn't perfectly reasonable for Bob to bring this tribal dumbing-down to light.
At least Marshall has a tribe that Bob can accuse him of dumbing down. No such accusation is possible with Somerby.

DeleteYes, what Chuck Grassley and the Republicans are doing and saying regarding the Supreme Court deplorable but the real problem is Josh Marshall running a commercially viable web site.

ReplyDeleteMarshall refuses to allow comments on his pontifications. He is very much an autocratic businessman.
ReplyDeleteAnd a yuge douche.
Delete"Regarding those adult coloring books, you'll have to see our next post."
ReplyDeleteIf it ever comes. And I certainly hope it does because this post makes absolutely no sense.
But then Bob has this way of teasing something one day, then forgetting all about it the next. I do hope this time he tells us where his nonsense is headed and what point he hopes to make about the decline and fall of Western Civilization because of a new, simple, inexpensive, and very harmless hobby.
How is adults acting like children harmless?
DeleteIt's only harmful if the appeal is to "be a child" in the way safe spaces and feeling "triggered" are. Otherwise, it can have its own appeal as an activity.

DeleteMy life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIt never was intentionally. I became a prostitute. It was alcohol driven. I was in a lovely and beautiful relationship with Dan. A friend of mine had a celebrated birthday party at the club. We all friends of the celebrant graced the occasion in grand style. Drinks flowed all through the hall in excess. I then was made intoxicated by a so called friend, jealous of my relationship. I was then made to have sex with a paid guy (unconsciously), after which the tape was sent to my boyfriend. I was dumbfounded when he showed me this video. Then he said to me IT IS OVER. I pleaded my life out but it fell to deaf ears. He really meant it. This led to my emotional traumatization... street life, alcohol, drug, and I ended up in bed with any guy that came my way... I think I was a slot. One faithful day, I ran into Dan at the mall, tried to say hello but he angrily rebuked me. I went home and could not get my mind off him, then I decided to do all it was going to take to get him back. Met a lot of councilors, relationship experts and advisers on the internet but to no avail. Luckily for me, at the verge of giving up, I ran into a testimony of a young man who got back his ex-girlfriend through the help of love spell. Reluctantly, I copied out the email of the spell person and contacted him via his email (kenedillitemples AT yahoo DOT com). Miraculously, at exactly 7 minutes after the conclusion of the final rites, I got a call from Dan, begging me to come back to him. I happily did... And guess what... HE PROPOSSED ALREADY. Luckily for you all out there in need of other forms of spell, after my conversation with the great Dr. Kene Dilli, I found out that he also casts spells for; WIN COURT CASE, GET CURED OF ANY KIND OF STD, GET JOB PROMOTION, GET BANK LOAN, TERMINATE DIVORCE PROCESS, GET EX- WIFE/ HUSBAND BACK, GET OUT OF JAIL, GET BUSINESS LINK, and so on.

Well my main reason why i am writing this right now is to inform the whole world about the great deeds, DR. otaru did for me. My name is Ruiz Mary, I was diagnosed of HIV in the year 2012 ever since then I was taking my medications, until I met the great spell caster, though I never believed in spell. I saw many testimonies on how he cured deadly diseases. I contacted him through his phone number. I called him, he asked me to send him my email, which I did. He told me that his god’s required some items in which he will use in casting a curing spell on me. I don’t know where to find the items he required. He told me that the only alternative is for me to send him the money, and then he can help me to get the items and herbs for my treatment. I promised myself to do anything to get cured. I sent him the money. He bought the items and casted a curing spell on me and also sent me a herbal potion, I used it as He instructed. 7 days later he asked me to go for check up, when I did the check up I was tested HIV Negative. I am so happy, I can not stop thanking Him, if you passing through hardship and you need a way out, kindly contact his mobile number+2348107345943 or email otarusolutionhome@gmail.com
