Right-Wing Media Are in Troublewww.theatlantic.com The flow of traffic to Donald Trump’s most loyal digital-media boosters isn’t just slowing; it’s utterly collapsing.

The Federalist is down 91 percent, lmfao

hard to judge which right wing propagandist is worst, but for my money Sean Davis is the most purely loathsome

That can’t be his actual head. I thought only Mark Andreeson had that technology.

Elon's got Space X engineers studying that fucker's skull shape, my goodness

guy's got the yellowest teeth i've ever seen.

Dude got a literal egghead

Big Renfield energy on him

Check his neck for gills. Sea people hybrid

Thank you for articulating this for me

Ben Shapiro gaming the Facebook algorithm was pretty vile. Nice to see it bite him in the ass now that FB is kneecapping clicks off site.

Mommy Milky

I was going to come here and say that but in all seriousness, mommy milky

mommy milky

absolutely ryan

Just from a personality standpoint, he's a cancer. The fact that his views are also noxious puts him over the top.

One of the worst human beings I’ve ever encountered online. I wish him years of penury and suffering before a lonely death.

Dead eyes, like a doll’s eyes

it's because he refused his mommy milky

I think he got new teeth so from perspective he’s on the upswing! Heads still to long though.

He blocked me many years ago. He did me a huge favor by doing so.

Seems like their strategy of aggressively blocking any account that challenged them on Twitter might not have been the best marketing approach

I asked Mollie once, just once, about the source of their funding and got the block. They have an awfully low bar for “challenging.”

Mollie blocked me after I left Twitter. I only discovered it b/c someone mentioned here posted about her. She seemed to have been triggered to block by a post of mine that didn't tag her but said she was awful. I guess she (or someone at The Federalist) does name searches and corresponding blocks.

Must be someone who works there, blocking so she never has to see any criticism at all, and can live in a perfect world.

"New strategy! Let's dump on Dolly Parton for loving people too much."

John McCain’s daughter’s husband is fucking up

But don't dont they know that John McCain is their Father (in law)?

[mournfully] mommy milky

many people are saying

[even more mournfully] mommy no milky

They're collectively succumbing to Poaster's Madness and they are Poasting Through It

the only thing that explains the batshit Dolly rage-click piece

Wonder how much of that is Trump induced COVID deaths

Not nearly enough

Not many. Most of the 1.2 million Americans who died of Covid were over 50 and Republican, but at most it's a percent or two of his base, and the rest don't care.

Go woke, go broke 😌

Go Fash, Lose Cash

The getting woke happened, and the going broke happened, but they were to entirely different people.

Whoever funds the Federalist must be pretty grumpy about now.

Leonard Leo and KochNetwork

Couldn't happen to a more deserving group

*sternly* mommy milky

I peek at The Federalist every once in a while to keep up with conservative headspaces, and they've often seemed rudderless and indecisive about the Trumpification of the GOP. Doesn't surprise me that this has led to a drop in engagement.

trump stole their bits and they can't compete with his weird cult following

This tracks. I haven't heard hide nor hair about them in ages, they've completely failed to make a splash

i’m so old i can remember when they were Smart and Reasonable

I very much wonder what the same metric is for Quillette, though I'd be most interested to see how it went from 2016-2020
