I actually do get where you're coming from (as I feel like much of their pop culture takes seem to be quite out of touch with the general public). I can see how it would be annoying, particularly when it's during a time like the election, & there is so much content about politics. Like I said, I definitely don't agree with everything they say.

I feel like this website would be better if they cut down on the pop culture stuff a bit too. Not get rid of it entirely, just do less of it. A lot of what they say tends to come off pretentious, & I'm sure it feels that way in the political articles to people who don't agree with their stances.

But this website seems to be Bill trying to express all of his interests & viewpoints, & he's chosen a young diverse staff that aligns with him in those areas. I don't think many of them are as good at it as he is, & some of them I generally dislike, but it's his website, & I guess he wants to talk about stuff with freedom that he wouldn't have been able to have at ESPN.

Again, I get what you mean, & if the articles being pumped out were right leaning, I'd probably be fairly annoyed as well. I would just recommend to people that they try (as best they can) to avoid these articles. I've started doing that myself on some of the articles that show up on here, if I feel like they're likely to annoy me, but sometimes my curiosity gets the best of me.
