Ah, yes, Jeffrey Epstein pal Noam Chomsky. He is a horrible media critic, building his entire reputation as a media critic by guessing what goes on in newsrooms. There are people who actually know what they’re talking about who also managed to incorporate some of Chomsky’s ideas; the best of them was probably my friend the late Danny Schechter.

Exactly, he answered his own question with his vapid response.

This is hilarious. The flak answered his own question of why you didn’t reach out with a load of corporate-speak horsesh*t that was so meaningless I felt like it was a waste of my time to even read it.

In my original item, I quoted from an investor call from USAT chair and CEO Mike Reed in which he said pretty much exactly what the PR department is telling me now. Most of what I write for Media Nation is pure commentary, building on the work of other journalists. No interviews necessary.

Was it because you knew you’d get meaningless double speak?
