lulz: Vox Lays Off 72 "People"

Or whatever they are.

Vox Media laid off about 6% of its staff on Thursday, citing the pandemic's impact on revenue across the media industry.

The digital media company, which owns a namesake news site as well as The Verge, Eater and the popular biweekly New York Magazine, employs about 1,200 people. This means the layoffs amount to 72 employees. The majority of these employees were already furloughed in April at the height of the US' coronavirus pandemic. Vox Media implemented three-month furloughs for about 100 people to cut costs as advertising revenue across the media industry took a nosedive.
But it turns out the furloughs were not enough, Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff said in a staff memo, obtained by CNN Business.

Among those leaving Vox -- specifically, leaving New York Magazine -- is Andrew Sullivan, who says his departure is part of a political purge.

What has happened, I think, is relatively simple: A critical mass of the staff and management at New York Magazine and Vox Media no longer want to associate with me, and, in a time of ever tightening budgets, I'm a luxury item they don't want to afford. And that's entirely their prerogative. They seem to believe, and this is increasingly the orthodoxy in mainstream media, that any writer not actively committed to critical theory in questions of race, gender, sexual orientation, and gender identity is actively, physically harming co-workers merely by existing in the same virtual space. Actually attacking, and even mocking, critical theory's ideas and methods, as I have done continually in this space, is therefore out of sync with the values of Vox Media. That, to the best of my understanding, is why I'm out of here.

Two years ago, I wrote that we all live on campus now. That is an understatement. In academia, a tiny fraction of professors and administrators have not yet bent the knee to the woke program -- and those few left are being purged. The latest study of Harvard University faculty, for example, finds that only 1.46 percent call themselves conservative. But that'; probably higher than the proportion of journalists who call themselves conservative at the New York Times or CNN or New York Magazine. And maybe it's worth pointing out that "conservative" in my case means that I have passionately opposed Donald J. Trump and pioneered marriage equality, that I support legalized drugs, criminal-justice reform, more redistribution of wealth, aggressive action against climate change, police reform, a realist foreign policy, and laws to protect transgender people from discrimination. I was one of the first journalists in established media to come out. I was a major and early supporter of Barack Obama. I intend to vote for Biden in November.

It seems to me that if this conservatism is so foul that many of my peers are embarrassed to be working at the same magazine, then I have no idea what version of conservatism could ever be tolerated. And that's fine. We have freedom of association in this country, and if the mainstream media want to cut ties with even moderate anti-Trump conservatives, because they won't bend the knee to critical theory's version of reality, that's their prerogative. It may even win them more readers, at least temporarily. But this is less of a systemic problem than in the past, because the web has massively eroded the power of gatekeepers to suppress and control speech.

I don't understand this claim by neoliberals such as Andrew Sullivan and various Corporate Kept Women at National Review that it's only fair that corporations should have the right to free association because "we" all have the right to free association.

Do we? Am I permitted to not associate with homosexuals, if that's my choice?

Or do I only have this "right" in a very limited way, and only if I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars vindicating this "right" in court, and only to the extent my desire to not associate with some people is based on some pre-existing religious belief?

It seems to me the latter -- Masterpiece bakery is still being forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to not serve a Satanist cake to a transexual Satanist.

Is that really "freedom of association"? Is it a "freedom" when you are periodically forced to pay millions of dollars to keep your "freedom"?

How many other people out there are willing to pay millions of dollars for a supposed "right" to free expression and free association?

Meanwhile, corporations really are permitted to discriminate against conservatives -- even "conservatives" like Milky Loads over here -- without having to pay a nickel.

I'm just curious -- maybe the National Review types who always claim "Corporations have rights of free expression and association, the same as citizens have" can point out to me where I actually do have anything like the actual rights that corporations have?

Or -- if they admit that conservative (human being) citizens do not have the same untrammeled rights to discriminate that corporations do, can they show me where these Paid Whore Media Shills are fighting to give such rights back to the citizens?

Or would it be more accurate to say that the Corporate Shills such as National Review fight against citizens' right to actual freedoms of expression and association, while fighting tooth-and-nail for their corporate patrons' right to discriminate against conservatives?

I literally never see articles in National Review arguing in favor of a broad citizen right to discriminate in his free associations. I only see that with respect to corporations. What I do see from National Review and various other Conservative, Inc. corporate grifter outfits is bullying from the left against any conservative who also wants to assert rights to free expression and free association, even where that results in discrimination.

Why is that corporations, including monopoly corporations, are permitted to discriminate and effectively deny all public participation to citizens, while citizens are not permitted the same right on even a micro level, affecting a handful of people at most?

I'm pretty sure this mostly comes down to money-- National Review writers have their salaries paid by corporatists, and National Review writers feel the biases and bigotries of the Monied Classes are, well, classier than the biases and bigotries of the less tony conservatives who are merely reading their plutocrat propaganda.

More:

36 It's not just money, it's also the old One Way Ratchet. Discriminating AGAINST people with even nominally conservative views is always allowed; discriminating against even the most radical far left views is NEVER allowed.

Posted by: Tom Servo

The "One Way Ratchet" theory is a leftwing, Marxist notion that the Constitution only permits discrimination to go in a single direction, that is, in favor of the leftist coalition and against the right-leaning coalition.

I agree the One Way Ratchet theory is in play.


But I need it explained why allegedly "conservative" media are so eager to push the leftist, Marxist One-Way Ratchet theory, wherein conservatives must accept that they can never negatively discriminate against anyone, but must simultaneously support everyone's negative discrimination against themselves.

That's an awfully strange position for "conservative" media to take, isn't it?

Unless, of course, they're just being paid to take this anti-conservative position. Then it makes perfect sense.

I understand why the Left would push the idea of a New Jim Crow that makes conservatives the only group in America it's socially acceptable -- socially virtuous, in fact -- to discriminate against.

Why are our "conservative" media c*cks pushing the exact same agenda?

It's foolish to even bother pointing out the double standard, the left now Celebrates that. Laws and Regulations now apply ONLY on the basis of What You Believe and Who You Are, and have almost nothing to do with any "objective" standards.

In fact, according to "Critical Theory" Objective Standards are Racist. Just like rational thought.

112 I agree that we need to see the news media collapse, as it is. The problem is that the reason it was called the "fourth estate" is because a valid news media really is quite important in any form of democracy, even a representative one such as ours. Without valid information, how an people properly vote?

But... I think that ship has sailed. Even WITH valid information people vote idiotically and self-destructively. Even WITH all of the checks and balances and safeguards built into the system, we're still on the final swirl before the drain.

A system that only works with a virtuous voting public. And this nation, this culture decades ago decided not only against virtue but for its opposite.

He doesn't understand that the litany of what he imagines to be 'normative' positions on eveything from gay marriage to climate change are all the same as criticial theory, tools with which to take apart all of our freedoms and the notion of limited government. We cannot fix academia, the media, or Hollywood. We must replace them. It won't happen overnight.

126 Back on January 13, 2020, St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner filed what she calls an unprecedented federal civil rights lawsuit, accusing the city, the local police union and others of a coordinated and racist conspiracy aimed at forcing her out of office. The lawsuit alleges civil rights violations as well as violations of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. The police union released a statement calling the lawsuit "frivolous and without merit."

Funny how federal authority is no problem when it blows in her direction.

Curious ... I thought the SCOTUS declared the KKK Act of 1871 unconstitutional.

Kinda like the dot com boom, but in a smaller scale.

They sold investors on the idea that outraging, shocking, and surprising people with social media bursts would pull in young eyeballs and advertising and EVERYONE WOULD GET RICH!

The whole idiotic "racial purity" thing, focus on protecting the master race, breeding like rabbits with suitable "stock", etc.

Whereas the light-in-the-jackboots SA under Rohm was an infamous open secret, finally dealt with by Hitler on Long Knives Night - when I believe Hitler's squad found Rohm and a major deputy actually in flagrante delicto with partners of the same gender.

Ace, conservatives are simply the enforcers of Leftist morality. They buy into all Leftist premises and once the Left makes a new gain, conservatives will defend it to the death. Gun rights and abortion are the only two areas where there has been push back. That is because the people supporting it have a counter moral arguments. And with abortion, most "conservatives" would dump opposition at the first opportunity if they could. Buckley's yelling stop was a losing proposition from the start.

Indeed. You're not just able, but morally and legally compelled to ignore unconstitutional law as an American, let alone a president. The courts can rule howsoever they wish, it is irrelevant if they are unconstitutional, like telling a president he cannot revoke an executive order.

For the school context, no evidence children are major transmitters, growing evidence that they're not.

"Solution", same as everywhere else. Medically vulnerable, and those over 50, either given temporary special excuse to be absent, or easily adopted measures to "protect" them are adopted.

Well, that's because Twitter is even more insane and antithetical to conservative principles than excitable Andi Sullivan.

His claims to be a conservative but was an enthusiastic supporter of Obama and will vote for Biden. That sounds pretty leftist to me.

Still looking for someone with big $ to take my bet that morbidity/mortality data for this bug, when things have settled out completely, will nearly exactly match the standard epidemic curve. They already do, of course, but let's let the fuller picture develop to hammer home the obvious.

Oh - and the next bet will be against anyone showing any measurable benefit/effect of "mitigation" - of ANY kind - in large mobile modern societies, where virus was prevalent (very low % to meet that standard) before "policies" were enacted.

272 Man, I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes that were ripe in the garden and picked them.

And I thought "What the f*ck am I gonna do with all these things?"

And then, in a moment of inspiration, I decided to throw the whole lot of them into a blender with a small can of tomato juice I had, some worschestershire sauce, some Chahula hot sauce, a sprinkle of Tajin and some seasoning salt and blended that shit up for like three minutes.

Then I had some Bakon vodka and I mixed it up with that shit and by gawd it's a hellacious cocktail. I've had like three already.

And the whole time I've been drinking them, I've been thinking "F*ck it, let the world burn, I just don't give a shit. Burn NYC. Burn LA. Let the lethargic that 'aren't into politics' that ignored the warnings f*cking suffer. Let the baby butchers suffer the wrath of the mongrel horde. Let 80 year old liberal scrunts get punched in their faces by gangs of roving minority youth. Let the sodomites spread their disease. Let them all reap what they have sewn.

I think this confidence stems from a rigid self-selection process that has been going on in America for a very long time. This is the culmination of the Left purging itself of every heterodox thought. They truly believe that they are ascendant, but that is at least in part because they simply do not know any people with opposing views, other than their interlocutors on social media.

Sure.

But also: they won't be stopped until they eat their own. People like Weiss and Sullivan provide camouflage. They are alienating those who have enabled them. See also the Atlantic's letter decrying cancel culture. Oh, now that it hurts them they are motivated to act.

It's like JK Rowling fighting the transgender activists. They are not challenged when, say, Prager U comes out against their agenda. However, when one of their own -- a beloved Lefty -- calls BS on them? That is a huge risk, because JK resonates with other Lefties. They listen to JK when they don't listen to Prager U. The red pilling potential is huge.

And, I think Betsy DeVos' idea of taking federal education funds and directly giving it to parents in areas where schools are not open is a good move as well. Almost as good as shutting down federal education funding entirely.

412 The so called conservative media, corporations and anyone supporting this Marxist crap are cowards and idiots. They truly believe the beast will eat them last. By take up their arguments and find their causes which are ultimately destructive to that which they are ultimately meant to represent.

What kind of mouth breathing, window licking CEO would support BLM when one of their objectives, which they will tell you themselves, is to eliminate capitalism? Where is this proof of systemic, ongoing racism supported with facts, figures and verifiable widespread incidents.

It's in their fucking imagination, that's where.

These people are just appeasing the mob and demonizing anyone who dares to question the lack of facts and out right mendacity.

It's easier to pick on who you perceive as "weak"- right assholes.

Except we are not weak or powerless and actually win the argument on facts and verifiable truths.

But keep appeasing that mob and pushing your personal fiction as "the right thing to do".

I'm sure that will pay off under your new masters.

why does the left think they have to tell me what to think, where to go, what to say, who to believe, what music to listen to or museum to frequent..... what food to eat or what clothes to wear.....who I can call friend and what my life's work should look like....

just leave me alone. I will leave you alone.

415 >>Personally, I'm fine with public schools not reopening and filling young minds with crazy woke puke. But it would require a major shift in the attitudes of parents and their expectations out of life.



The problem is that the teachers' unions aren't just lobbying governors to shut down public schools, they are pushing to shut down all schools.

My kid's private school wants to open -- but can't if stupid governor decides no in-class instruction is safe.

422 I'm here.
I finally got to lap swim again at the Y. It was glorious. While I was in the pool, the day camp kids walked through to get to a door to the outside. Kids couldn't be more than 6 or 7 years old. All masked up. It is really sickening what they are doing to little kids. This has got to be oe of those events that goes down in history. Did anyone ever think that people would just sheepishly follow along with these crazy mandates without anyone is a popsition of authority saying WTH?
And, on a personal note, I have secured a place to live in Bethesda! Hurray! Was worried there for a bit that I was going to be homeless.

You're probably thinking of Linda Fiorentino from Men in Black I (she's from the coroner's office and saves them at the end), Dogma and Vision Quest. Bears some resemblence to LSG but nowhere near as busty.

Lara Flynn Boyle is like a stick figure.

441 "We have freedom of association in this country..."

Er, no we don't. We haven't had it since the Civil Rights Act.

We have an anarcho-tyranny association rule saying the Left gets to cancel and exclude whomever they want, while the Right most tolerate whomever the Left demands, and even celebrate them.

Like most "conservatives" (if this guy is a conservative then I'm Kermit the Frog) this tool celebrates his opponent getting to wield a freedom that has now been denied to him, pretending it hasn't been and he's upholding a still valid two-way street.

442 "But this is less of a systemic problem than in the past, because the web has massively eroded the power of gatekeepers to suppress and control speech."

Lol he missed the part where DNS registrars and DDOS protection providers can take your site down because they don't like what you say, on top of advertisers boycotting, and mass bans by Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. The web is just about ready to be transformed into TV 2.0, completely controlled and curated. Most people won't bother to get comfortable with Tor, where alternative views could still live.

Quite a bubble this guy lives in.

443 80 Does Sullivan think HE has the right to freedom of association? Maybe only with the 71 other people who got the boot today, but not with his former coworkers.

At least Bari Weiss tried to throw down the gauntlet, ineffective as it was. Sullivan went out with a whimper, with his tail between his legs.

444 Ace routinely discriminates against more conservative people than he on this blog. And then he complains about other people doing it to more liberal conservatives like himself.
His actions show that he's not so different than New York Magazine for firing people they believe to be too far right (Andrew Sulliedman).

Of course, this comment will trigger the snowflakes so bad that they will delete it rather than try to show that Ace is not a hypocrite.
New York is trying to make a liberal magazine. Of course an even nominally conservative writer would have a hard time there. The writers there think he's a racist who harms their reputation. No different than Ace saying various commenters are "Stormfront."
