      Again, I think youā€™re expecting too much from The Daily Beast. This is the type of article they write to get clicks. This article isnā€™t from the New York Times or the Washington Post, but an internet site that specializes in splashy headlines and blunt articles.

      Itā€™s like youā€™re criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. ā€œI just canā€™t put my finger on why, but I donā€™t like that donkey.ā€ Maybe stay away from the donkey farm then.

          I didnā€™t say they had low standards, I said they have splashy headlines and blunt articles. In my experience their articles are factual, they just donā€™t beat around the bush, or sugar coat it, or whataboutulism it like the more traditional mainstream media. Theyā€™re blunt about it, thatā€™s their identity to get clicks. My suggestion was for you not to read articles from The Daily Beast if you donā€™t like their style. Or if you do read them, donā€™t criticize. Criticizing their style is nonsensical, like criticizing a donkey for being a donkey. That donkey may notā€¦ how did you put it, sit right with youā€¦ but that doesnā€™t mean thereā€™s anything wrong with the donkey.
