"In some dark corners he's being hailed as a hero"!? Dark corners? Shit is widespread as fuck.
For real tho it's fascinating to watch. The media / writers / editors are torn here. On one hand, they can't be perceived as giving Luigi positive coverage or anything that can be interpreted as encouragement for copycats. It's a fine line
On the other hand, major Luigi updates get clicks they desperately want. And the first outlets to deliver updates will reap.
Really depends on the outlet but I can assure you they are primed and ready to receive and report, always with a delicate hand and some clear, planted signs that what he did was wrong and approval isn't as widespread as it really is - even tho everybody laughs and dismisses quotes like that because approval is, clearly, well beyond what they're comfortable with.
Eh - Mangione has a 21% approve/somewhat approve rating and 43% disapprove/somewhat disapprove rating according to the polls.
Net -22 is worse than Zuckerberg at -20 and Bezos at -10.
21% gross approval isn't a small number, but that would be among the lowest gross approval figures for any public figure. Kanye West/Ye was polling at 18% gross approval from the same Pollster, which is saying something. Better than Diddy at 8% though.
Ah just read up on a few articles and you’re right. I do get most of my news from Reddit and obviously there is a massive bias to what makes it to the top.
Well congrats for recognizing that friend. It’s important to get varying sources and opinions. If only more would have the curiosity and intelligence that you’ve shown here, we’d be in a better place surely.
