We all have to put food on the table and I'm sure that people would point to my own situation as an example of compromising one's personal morality in the interests of my own livelihood. Not that I especially care about it, but I do acknowledge it.
So many of these mendacious twats, however, prostitute themselves by foregoing any sense of decency or professional integrity in pursuance of what they must themselves know to be intellectually dishonest coverage. Laughable that, in doing so, they should try to claim the moral high ground in the way that they do.
Someone like Wallace is so nauseatingly smug in the way he tries to project himself when doing this. He can be a manifestly partial, shameless fake-news liar if he really wants to, but don't try and fucking gaslight us.
