I’m ignoring most election commentary, but an interview with Nilay Patel — who never minces words — is an exception.
“America now has an unelected defense contractor sitting in the White House doing ketamine and twiddling the algorithmic knobs of an influential right-wing echo chamber while fulminating against traditional standards-based journalism, threatening to revoke network broadcast licenses, and suing advertisers who don’t want to spend their money on his dwindling user base. What could go wrong?”
And that's just the start of the interview.
