What the shit is this article? I get the style they were going for, but come on

No kidding. Carlson is a terrible person, and this writing is nearly as bad. I thought Mother Jones was at least somewhat respectable and wasn't expecting this garbage.

They have been garbage for a long time.

I thought it was hilarious, but I didn’t expect this from Mother Jones

Welcome to Mother Jones. They're like The Root - I swear they deliberately hire the least qualified, least competent "journalists" available.

Here's a real article about what happened.

Some guys told them they edited Kate Middleton’s pics and were whistleblowers so he interviewed them. They told him we aren’t really this is a prank and he said nuh uh.

Link to clip, I’m not watching it. The article was funny in the wording but the whole thing itself doesn’t actually seem very funny.

Same. Don't want to hear about that sociopath.

After reading this article, I feel like I should know what actually happened on the show - I don't though?
