Illustrating the point

Self-parody is sometimes accidental.

This discussion at the Federalist is unusually fair and reflective. Ryan Grim is talking about different fundraising and media styles on Right and Left. He mentioned ActBlue as a highly successful funding system, which isn’t matched on the right.

(WinRed tries, but it’s nonfunctional. They started billing me for a monthly donation which I hadn’t chosen. There was no way to stop the monthly, so I deleted the whole account.)

Grim made a sharp comparison: Conservative media are sponsored by stock tips and gold. (He didn’t include bitcoin, but it certainly fits the same category.) Leftist media are sponsored by nutrition and ‘lifestyle’ products.

The podcast was then immediately interrupted by an ad for stock tips!
