Being more specific about the title, she gets traction every once in a while, usually on video platforms. Sure, she is a journalist in the most liberal sense of the word. Which means that does, from time to time, a little xenophobia and a few "the Democrats are literally left". But, she does some very thorough investigation on her part, and even if some conclusions she has are bad, the information gathered is quite interesting.

  • Have you ever read/watched some of her content? If so, what do you think of what she does?
  • I believe that if her method was a more dialectical materialist, some of her conclusions would be better and she wouldn't have to do some mental gymnastics that she usually does. Am I just being delusional? Are all her writings just conspiracy and I don't get it?
  • I do see quite some parallels to Lenin's "Imperialism, the Highest State of Capitalism" and how she conducts her research. Am I just seeing things?

I believe the sensationalism is her brand mostly for the clickbait. She needs the views and interactions. But it's also, to some extent, her exclusively liberal analysis. And yeah, the conspiracy theory thing is real. She usually flirts with that. For example, the AI data center for biometrics below the new ballroom in the White House might be true, I'll give her that, but the angle on COVID being a bioweapon will always sound like kookery to me. Specially if she can't produce evidence from any of the agencies she does say are involved. And that's what gets me: she jumps to a conclusion when some stuff are just simpler, or even, better explained by "yeah, that's capitalism for you".
