There Is No Message & The Message Is Me

Dog bites man: 75-yr. old "friend" of Lumpy's has his head up his ass, exemplified by the short life & quick death of something called The Messeger:

There is no evidence of a large market demand for what Finkelstein (with sidekick Richard “Mad Dog” Beckman) labeled “unbiased” news, but which was clearly meant to be more of a right-leaning site that would treat his good friend Donald Trump as a normal candidate for office. There is a reason the funders behind its $50 million are Republican megadonors, not media people. (Fun fact: We learned yesterday of yet another 70-something conservative activist billionaire who was an investor in The Messenger: John Catsimatidis, former Republican candidate for mayor of New York City.) And when the depths of The Messenger’s failure became clear, the only people interested in doubling down — in a meeting at Mar-A-Lago! — were folks like Tucker Carlson’s backer and the ex-CEO of Parler.
