This is what consequence-free misogyny looks like.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

behold! the end result of the conservative Christian values movement!
Wait, I'm supposed to believe that the convicted child sex trafficker who was inexplicably moved to a minimum security prison after an interview with the president's personal lawyer and who the president's allies have been portraying as a victim has blackmail material on the president?

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:
(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year
(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives
Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?
