I think it felt to me like they were looking for really easy, cheap content that they could fill up time with.

Yes, Jared, that's why they hired you again.

the headline gave me the knee jerk reaction that he sounded ungrateful, but i mean he's right. it's not the same network after the nexstar acquisition, and they ARE ditching in house scripted programming for whatever they can snatch up on the cheap

Excuse me the hate boner for him is rational

[bostongirl2003]

he doxxed a waitress for being "mean" to him, it's a totally rational thing to hate someone for

[betgfm]

And that’s just one issue on a very long list. He’s an asshole
