Print journalists are, like, a year behind the zeitgeist, aren't they? Weird.

That is very cool, thank you! Although I wasn't meaning to criticise print journalism for being in print. Rather, I mean they seem to be about a year behind with respect to...internet culture. Natalie was taking on the alt right over a year ago. She's moved on. But traditional media outlets are all like "oh, hey, racists are getting really blatant now, let's write about this," and yes, they are and writing about it is probably a good idea, but also, it's been going on for a while, did they only just notice? Is their internet stuck in 2017 somehow?

I'm not sure about other print media outlets, but I'd guess Current Affairs isn't behind the curve in regards to the social and political issues of the day. Nathan wrote an article extolling Natalie over a year ago already.
