    stupid first world problems you're dealing with

    My Macbook Pro has one of those slight discolorations, about 1cm square, on the upper left side of the screen, which may or may not be from someone (not me!) touching my screen at law school, and it's a little too visible with light colored wallpapers and forces me to nest the dock on the left to cover it up, and I don't really like that.

    Are you seriously getting upset with my little jibe at media whores and their johns?

    I specified Ameri-centric because in the Anglophone world, Americans are the largest, but not exclusive consumers of Glenn Beck.

    The same goes for Alex Jones.

     

    Alexa.com info on prisonplanet.tv traffic

     

    There are 24,482 sites with a better three-month global Alexa traffic rank than Prisonplanet.tv. Compared with the overall internet population, the site's audience tends to be users who are not college graduates; they are also disproportionately childless men browsing from home who have incomes between $30,000 and $100,000. The fraction of visits to the site referred by search engines is about 4%. About 27% of visits to Prisonplanet.tv consist of only one pageview (i.e., are bounces). We estimate that 81% of the site's visitors are in the US, where it has attained a traffic rank of 5,166.

    5,166 might not sound like much, but when you compare it to the number of sites out there (watmm is ranked 89,543 in the US for comparison

     

    Glenn Beck's numbers have been slipping - but he still commanded a hefty audience even toward the end of his tenure on television.

     

    http://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-beck-has-lowest-fox-ratings-of-the-night-among-viewers-25-54/

     

    At his peak though, he was drawing 3 million viewers a night, a not inconsiderable number among the people who consume media.

     

    This wasn't a jab at Americans in general, it was directed toward the media consuming masses.

     

    tl;dr - don't be so goddamned sensitive.

     

     

     

    p.s. I got my superiority complex on sale from Safeway. Try the frozen foods section.

     

     

    lol, I was mostly kidding, chen.

     

    Whatever AJ's origins, his audience and Beck's audience seem to have merged pretty closely at this point; both tend to appeal to pseudo-libertarian "patriot movement" (eg, teabagger, oathkeeper, etc) types at this point.

    Imagine Glenn Beck and Alex Jones locked in a room together for a year. Record that, and you'd have every Anglophone (ameri-centric) media consumer locked in for a decade.

     

    [citation needed]

     

    I know all of two people who don't think Beck is a moron, and I think I've met maybe 6 people who actually know who Alex Jones is. But I know a few hundred Anglophone (ameri-centric) media consumers.

     

     

    I guess what I'm saying is, where can I pick up a superiority complex like yours? It looks fun.
