the WaPo kindle app has as its icon a story entitled something like "the demise of a career" with a background photo of

iggy azalea.

I read the story last night, and what a load of poopy poop it (mostly) is.

it should go without saying that I'm anti-iggy's crappy, bigoted, dumb comments (not to metnion her grammar, or lack thereof, ugh), and I have only been able to take her and her music in small doses, in part because of the super-duper high level of affectations; but the clearly non-objective content of this piece and zero questioning of the comments of some black performers tossing back a version of bigotry and exclusion/segregation themselves is just so gross.

in seeking it to link, I see that it's a style blog entry, not a news story. knowing that ahead of time would have helped some, but it makes me even more baffled that WaPo would choose this dreck to put on their e-cover. ugh. even as click-bait, something can be counter-productive when it makes readers cringe and get ticked-off.

the opening alone should have been enough for me to stop reading, but then I was caught-up in the train-wreck. ;p-me. (www.washingtonpost.com)

It's mostly SJWs trying to bring her down. WaPo isn't exactly a high point of journalistic integrity either. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 11:45 4
- while they've had their issues, I think they are still in the top handful of newspapers respected for news content. -- nm - b. Jun 11, 11:52 1
  - I'm sorry, I even went to the link and I still mistook WaPo for HuffPo. Though I definitely agree this was a terrible article for them to push. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 11:57
