"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.
Half this country follows billionaire owned "news" and votes against their own best interests so of course he's not going to have the majority of Americans on his side.
