The commentariat has become infested with people who have no other reason to be in #media or #journalism than social-climbing and seeking the proximity of men of influence (and the occasional woman), giving themselves freely over to corruption and nepotism and swapping bribes.
People like Matt Yglesias and Jesse Singal and the other hyperpolitical journalists are always hoping they might luck into a plum role that really brings in the bucks and the access to power, like being a campaign advisor or a star role on #Substack or something like that.
