How did they have that much staff to begin with? I assumed that was just a make work program for kubrick-stare since he managed to be a Hollywood nepo failson too untalented for even a pity job.

There is a ton of money dumped into right wing media to keep the hogs frothingfash and the algorithms for every large social media site invariably dumps it into people's laps. Like the podcast app I use will shove recommendations for Matt Walsh and Shapiro at me under True Anon playlists.

Kind of wonder that since it’s even less deniable they’re the cultural mainstream now, that they will start doing stuff “progressive” media does. Paywalls and firing everyone in sight and just having as few staff as possible.
