Rep. Massie is spreading this claim now. Will be interesting to see what happens.
A hallmark of fake news is often very specific meaningless scientific jargon or number. 94% match on something utterly meaningless! but people fall for it.

I periodically rewatch this clip. How he uses jargon, but explains it each time. Particularly his focus on HOW the evidence leads to a conclusion. Seems to give a good model for science, that it is the interpretation that matters, not the "evidence". youtu.be/G8cbIWMv0rI?...

Arguing that political trends are not affected by lived material experiences is an extraordinary claim that needs more than just a bunch of graphs and data science jargon.

In Succession, I think I've whittled down precisely the thing about Kendall that, no matter what he's going through, I simply despise him: He ONLY speaks in weird jargon and (usually profoundly shallow) metaphors. OMG I fuckin hate it

Can't stand passive journalism. I'm reading Andrew Sheer attacking the Libs over floor crossings, uttering all this convenient high ground jargon and it's simply reported. This is the same clown who gleefully plucked a Lib MP in 2018, his hypocrisy now STAGGERING. No mention in any piece. #cdnpoli
