'Incredible': Internet stunned by Erika Kirk's 'slip of the tongue' on Charlie's 'grift'
(www.rawstory.com)
Topic aside, I really dislike "articles" like this and I've noticed a lot of them lately. I know it's well-known at this point that the bar for what passes as journalism these days is depressingly low, but like c'mon. This article is literally just, "Erika Kirk said this thing at this place. Now here's a few quotes from random Twitter users".
It feels like a few essays I handed in at school when I did 0 research and spent no effort, and just wanted to turn something in to get the teacher off my ass.
The bar had been low for a while and Trump has pulled it further into nonsense. Personally, this is just is business as normal in the modern press.
They wrote these articles in reverse. They find some twit rage they can fill the page with and then backtracking it just enough to create an opener.
These are articles that could easily be replaced with LLMs and maybe that is what we need so we can finally agree to ignore this slop.
Crocodile tears made her have a slip of the tongue.
nicki minaj was also there to "support" you.
Oooo K
