Tim explains how a Business Insider reporter/failed comedian interviewed him and later revealed the outlet wanted a hit piece on him, leading into a taxonomy of journalists vs. stenographers vs. failed New York media types who resent independent media figures like Portnoy and Rogan.
- Business Insider ran a hit piece on Dave Portnoy and planned one on Tim and another comic.
- Tim was interviewed by an open mic comedian who quit to work for Business Insider.
- The interviewer asked terrible questions while Tim sat in a parking lot smoking cigarettes.
- Real journalists are people with white hair who research Kennedy assassination and die alone unfulfilled.
- War correspondents run around getting shot at, win Pulitzers, get cancer, and die alone unfulfilled.
- Stenographers write what the government wants them to say and live in big houses with published books.
- Brian Williams lied constantly and nobody caught him because lying becomes intoxicating without consequences.
- New York media types write for glorified blogs, eat ramen, and live on floors after getting useless degrees.
- These struggling journalists love unfunny comedians and other talentless people because they lack talent themselves.
- They create listicles about 25 comedians nobody will know, forming little groups that nobody cares about.
