    We should consider it a faux pas for a news organization to report on the punditry of other news org that is “two steps below it”.

    If nbcnews wants to cover something “conservatives” are saying, they shouldn’t reach deep. They should consider the twitter account End Wokeness to be so far beneath it that reporting on it directly should feel dirty.

    Now if fox news or even newsmax picks it up, then maybe start attacking this nonsense. Right now it seems to the crazies that we are taking them seriously. Why else would NBC News cover it?

    Sometimes I think we should all just turn around and climb back up the trees. Maybe evolve a little more.

      You are in good company.

      Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
