Vanity Fair sure has a lot of white people.

That Vanity Fair video is the whitest thing I’ve seen since the feminist actresses photo for the LA Times.

The video was also not fun, not funny, and Dan Savage levels of dumb. That said, the boycott reaction is hilarious proof that the Hillbots are a Cult of Personality. Somebody made a dumb, insubstantial, and very pale video that lobbed lazy critical opinions at their queen??? Boycott them!!

(*cue Pridge Wessea, LavaGirl, and Dr. Zaius to tell us why this boycott is important and to insult everybody for not liking Hillary enough*)

@2 It's almost like they're not that much different from Trump supporters.

Boycott? I’m subscribing.

I just kind of wonder why anyone is talking about Hillary Clinton anymore. You don't come back from losing the presidency to an unpopular blowhard who took up politics as a hobby.

She's done. Let her die.

Are Hill bots anywhere near as obsessed with Clinton as the Hillary haters?

@4: to a degree. the conservative bubble is much thicker and more exclusive. kind of like fundy monotheists. outside info and actual facts are a threat.

I don't believe that us godless libtards are as hidebound as that. I will consider new information and alter my opinion if warranted.

just not if it's from Ted @6. President Asshole didn't take up politics as a hobby; that makes it sound like a lark. he's wanted to run for decades, because he's a fucking Narcissist. his campaign worked because conservatives (aka the 33% who support him) are rubes who fell for a Confidence Game. it wasn't Liberals who swallowed the bait.

@4: It took less than two hours for some rube to prove your point. I wish I could say was surprised.

@8:

Actually, one of the main reasons we're still talking about Hillary is because the screaming shit-gibbon who lost the popular vote to her can't stop obsessing over the fact he lost the popular vote, and desperately needs some sort of affirmation this was the result of mass collusion and fraud, in order to convince the credulous, slack-jawed rubes who voted for him that HIS collusion and fraud was totally justified.

A quick Google search - Vanity Fair boycott - produce no results about this story. ( accept the link to this very web page😉)

The top result link to a Vanity Fair story about Rick and Morty fans boycotting McDonald's over a lack of Szechuan sauce.

The second link was a Vanity Fair article about Sean Hannity telling people to stop smashing Keurig single cup coffee makers.

The third link was a link to this article.

@7 Seeing as they're the ones calling for boycotts and saying the video is sexist while ignoring the fact that VF also did a video on Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Hillbots are faaaar more obsessed with her.

@11 Except the place I read the most about her is here on Slog. I'd guess there's a mention of her in either at least once a week.

@14 are you sure you're not a professional journalist? You even know how to use the googles! (not actually)

@9. What outside facts are conservatives not willing to face, max? That seems like a charge that could more fairly be leveled at both parties.

As for @1&2. Haha. Great point. (Where’s the sarcastic italics again???)

@16
A professional journalists probably would have included a link in their article.

Perhaps you should leave attempts at humor to the professionals.
So should Vanity Fair.

Just in case you don't believe me, here is a link to another unfunny video brought to you by those same champagne swilling white folks over at Vanity Fair

Honestly, the video seems more insulting to Diet Coke then Donald Trump.

Professional journalists don't work for The Stranger

Hello, I am from 2017 and what is "Vanity Fair" please?

As I look to the new year, I like to think of Trump as a pathogen, or a virus if you will, to our democracy in which our resistance and galvanized commitment to public service will become the Trump vaccine that saves our republic.

@4,

I searched the phrase, "are republicans more insular in their media?" and, after scrolling past a couple of links from known snowflake advocates like Vice and HuffPo, found the following link examining the results of a Harvard study.

https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/20…

From the findings...

"The more insulated right-wing media ecosystem was susceptible to sustained network propaganda and disinformation, particularly misleading negative claims about Hillary Clinton. Traditional media accountability mechanisms — for example, fact-checking sites, media watchdog groups, and cross-media criticism — appear to have wielded little influence on the insular conservative media sphere.

There is insularity and partisanship on the left as well, but it is mediated by commitments to traditional journalistic norms — e.g., covering “both sides” — and so, on the whole, the left got more balance in their media diet and less “fake news” because they were more friendly to fact checkers."

And while I haven't and don't plan on vetting the results of the study, or even reading the provided links to the study itself, would anyone really be even remotely surprised by any of this?

I think that's one of the things that annoys me about Theodore's posts, is that he's always so desperate to point out idiocy and hypocrisy on the left. And while absolutely noone denies the existence of such elements amongst our own, it seems painfully obvious to even the most casual observer that the extent it happens on the right is far more widespread and correspondingly damaging.

@18: see @26, but some current examples:
1. There is no War on Christmas.
2. HRC didn't do a goddamn thing wrong in the Benghazi Consulate Attack.
3. Obama was born in the US and isn't a Muslim.

My Dad won't face that last simple truth. Hell, President Asshole won't even face that one. The fact that you might doesn't invalidate the general point.

@28,

That's actually a fair point. But there's still also a large, a shamefully and genuine fucking embarrassingly large, segment of our populace that believes he's a Muslim. And then THEY'RE somehow more sane and rational than the goddamn pizzagate kooks! Man, good times.
