"The author of an historically malevolent piece of journalism has not been shy about using social media to let us all know how none of her friends like her anymore, on account of all the genocide denial she considers to be her day job. Now she's using it for a different purpose, and that is revealing to the world that she does not understand how to tell, or possibly even recognize, a joke."
"I just want to make sure you're prepared for what you're about to be confronted with. Click play on the video below and you will see Reingold attempting to parody John Oliver, who recently did a segment on The Free Press and spent quite a bit of time making fun of Reingold. The result of Reingold's attempt to give Oliver a little taste of his own medicine is a truly disastrous attempt at comedy, which was quickly deleted from her Instagram account."
"Semafor's Max Tani reported in his weekly newsletter that Washington Post CEO Will Lewis, with the blessing of owner Jeff Bezos, recently tried to hire Reingold away from the Free Press and make her "one of the first new faces in the paper's overhauled opinion section." The plan, according to Tani, was to "hire Reingold to create written and video opinion content.""
