We look at the latest gambit from our favorite "alternative" publication from a publishing perspective rather than the boring, typical culture war lens. The problem: The Pitch is awash in nearly freebie content as activists inundate them with op/ed diatribes.
A couple of examples from today . . .
Why now is the time to end qualified immunity

ReplyDeleteWhat's a newspaper?
ReplyDeleteHomosexuals like the Pitch. Normal people don’t.
ReplyDeleteNORMIES are never as normal as they claim. Sorry buddy, try again.
DeleteIf you look at the way certain body parts are shaped, I'd say it's more normal to not be gay. No offense to gayness.
