    You might see if you can get this to the Meidas Touch guys too. They could help research and amplify this to the national media

      Ughhhhhhhhh. Sorry, but I need to rant.

      Those fuckers are so fucking sensationalist. They use the same simple-mined tactics as right-wring propaganda mills. A 20 minute video of theirs could be condensed into 5 without those tactics and actually do far more to push forward their “law based coverage”.

      I quickly put them in the “not worth the sensational isn’t propaganda” bucket after watching a handful of their videos

        They all are like that. They all use heavy clickbait titles to get attention to their videos, and those titles have a tenuous at best relationship with the actual topic, which they all blow way out of proportion and act as if this will finally be the thing that brings down Trump. These are the ones who the right refer to as having “Trum Derangement Syndrome”, as they post daily videos that are almost exclusively about Trump, while peddling products that you can tell they’ve never used or even heard of in their lives by the way they read the script.

        Don’t get me wrong. The information they give is at least truthful (exaggerated, but truthful) and the products they’re shilling are actual products and not crypto scams or something, which puts them far ahead of Trump’s supporters. But they’re still basically grifting and trying to ride the Trump train as long and as hard as they can, as I don’t know what half of them are going to do once Trump is actually out of the public eye.
