I was listening to this on NPR this morning and it really got my cortisol levels up. I’m not even trying to plug for Platner; maybe he’ll Fetterman us. But billionaire captive NPR continues to be disappointing.

*For clarity, this is a wall of shame post. An example NPR serving the interests of billionaires, and in no way an article I support or endorse.

    Who gives a shit? Seriously look at the situation we’re in, you give a fuck if this guy made some shitty social media posts and sexted other women? We gonna hold this guy to that kind of standard but not dig in on the growing list of Republican pedophiles?

    Give me a fucking break. Every time a real labor person gets popular here come the character assassination attempts from the “left”.

    Nice Polite Republicans

      Did I say I gave a shit? It seems like a lot of folks like to move with their preconceptions and not even attempt to understand what is being output to them. The whole point of putting this here was to illustrate your first point.

        Yeah my bad, when I said “you” I meant it more in the general sense “you all” or specifically in this case, NPR. I wasn’t directing that at you directly, killea. I appreciate you posting it homie.
