    I’m sorry, the “crappy blog” that is Owen Jones’s dropsite? Gtfo, you obviously don’t know that the hell you’re talking about. I’m not going to engage with someone arguing in bad faith.

      Oh my goddd!!! Owen Jones??? How could I be how foolish and not know who that is? Silly me, of course it’s Owen Jones on Substack.

      Now Substack is a site that’s notorious for having its userbase be mostly political grifters, but that can’t possibly apply to the great and almighty Owen Jones.

      But first, who the fuck is Owen Jones? You can’t possibly expect people to know random schmuck grifters that you fangirl over.

      Owen Jones (born 8 August 1984)[2] is a left-wing British newspaper columnist, commentator, journalist, author and political activist.[3] He writes a column for The Guardian and contributes to the New Statesman, Tribune, and The National[4] and was previously a columnist for The Independent. He has two weekly web series, The Owen Jones Show and The Owen Jones Podcast.

      Well well well, looky what we got here. It looks like I was right all along. Now explain to me again how this guy is supposed to invalidate my points about the quality of sources and journalistic standards? If anything you’re proving me right here.

          Said the schmuck who’s been disingenious this whole time with my extremely straightforward point. When it finally came time to address it directly, you danced around like a clown and then gave yourself a soft exit by clutching your pearls over some no name British left wing grifter. Your projections thus far have reflected your actions.
