24 IX 2019: Media gangbang

Reactionary propagandists have jumped squealing on Ms Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who addressed the U.N. about the climate crisis. Ms Thunberg evoked dismissals from right-wing mouthpieces that were variously hostile, aggrieved, furious, self-righteous, condescending, boorish, and cliché-ridden. These voices of the raving right are a cry of touché.  They have embarrassed themselves and shown that Ms Thunberg’s eloquence and cogency caused them and their owners a degree of anguish.
