The Skewer 28: April 2018

Another Skewer bursts with extreme goodness, as is customary. Kevin Johnson's fake news quiz and host Tom Harrison's opener kicked off the show, and naught but excellence followed. Devin Whitlock shared the story of how, but for certain crucial decisions, his life could have ended up like Tomi Lahren's. Eric Lutz railed against liberal Russia-conspiracy theorists who make real journalism even more exhausting than usual. Melanie O'Brien exposed venture capitalists' Midwest safaris as the creepily predatory nonsense it is. Arish Singh showed how the Decemberists' unironic love of feds and cops exemplifies peak whiteness. And Josh Watkins and erica dreisbach clashed in a debate for the ages to decide the best way to spin our post-nuclear lives as a positive. Folks, it owned in a big way! Thanks to all our writers, and fight fascism forever!
