“I lost so much respect for Abby Martin after the ‘Rehabilitating Cheney’ episode. I would fully halt consuming any more of her content if she wasn’t so on point with her coverage of the MIC. So excruciatingly vitriolic on a topic that both she and Robbie have, admittedly, neglected to do thorough research on. Which is so confusing, considering their tendency to dig into other topics. I get that her content inhabits a space that overlaps with those strongly opposed to current restrictions and requirements, such that she encountered flack on social media for decisions she’d decided to share publicly, and that that wasn’t a super supportive message to encounter on Twitter, but the lampooning she got is by orders of magnitude smaller in intensity and frequency than what the skeptical and hesitant are currently being bombarded with daily. I’m just worry that those that might be looking right now for alternative research and obscured historiographies will be alienated from learning from you, due to your vociferous condemnation on a topic you’ve both consigned yourselves to not deep dive into.”
