I agree on the SJW stuff. The Alton sterling article was a joke. 0 articles about the slain police officers as well. As was the "ghostbusters will be an American classic and if you don't think so you're sexist" article

My other issue is how short the damn articles are. I know this was a strategic move by their part but it feels like another attempt by Simmons to act younger than he is. The articles never have any substance. They come up with very interesting headlines, or just catchy ones, then give you two paragraphs basically repeating the title 5 times and never actually making any points. Who does that sound like? fricking buzz feed that's who.


And it's to the point where only Bills NFL/NBA podcasts are listenable but there are 800 frickin podcasts a day so you 1) get bombarded with notifications and tweets about new podcasts and 2) the ones you're actually interested in get lost in the shuffle

"The watch" guys are just insufferable and I can't believe they gave them an HBO show.

Also their site layout is terrible and clunky. You go to the podcast page and it freezes up because there's 300 podcasts trying to load

Yes man, this is what I was trying to say in my post earlier but you did it much better

And the author of that article, Micah Peters, who is from BR, who propped Sterling up as some great guy couldn't even muster a single tweet about the cops killed in BR.
