They’re quite good at Serious Journalism About Serious Things. But when they bring their talents to bear on pop culture or Internet subcultures… well, we’ve all seen what happens.
Like, the person who wrote that Nazi brony exposé? She also has pieces about someone making reality TV in
The Sims 4, the spread of conspiracy theories about fireworks, and… I’m not going to click, but the headline reads “America is Thirsty for Anthony Fauci”. Yes, that Anthony Fauci. Yes, that meaning of “thirsty”.
So yeah, she’s basically the closest they’ve got to a “news of the weird” correspondent.
