I covered politics in NoVa in 2007 and back then the idea that anyone would take wacko site Gatew*y Pund*t seriously was so laughable it wouldn't even have occurred to me. And it wasn't a size thing, that era of NoVa politics was filled with great small blogs. And here we are nowPermalink On twitter.com

I literally may have laughed at the idea of taking that site seriously over a beer. Even the GOP-aligned sources I talked with at the time didn't take it seriously. We all knew it was a joke of a site and were just like ok just ignore the weird ranting wack job in the corner.On twitter.com

Of all the things that, if I traveled back in time and told my past self would happen in 2020, my past self would reject and call me crazy on, it would be that people take that site seriously and consider it a genuine source of information.Permalink On twitter.com

Like there is so much crazy shit happening this year, but so much of it was coming from miles away even back in 2007, lots of it might be *surprising* but none of it is *unbelievable* from my mindset back then, except that crazy site gaining even the smallest legitimacy.Permalink On twitter.com
