The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and herĀ sort-of-serious crusadeĀ against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.

The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet toĀ attackĀ Greene, invoking the ā€œMoscow Marjorieā€ nicknameĀ coinedĀ by former representative Ken Buck.

Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had alreadyĀ taken aimĀ at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz PeekĀ callingĀ her an ā€œidiotā€ and saying she needs to ā€œturn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.ā€ This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene ā€œRep. Mayhem Taylor Greeneā€ and accused her and her allies of being ā€œmost interested in TV hits and internet donors.ā€

Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra SaundersĀ demandedĀ to know ā€œwho put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?ā€

    I used to be able to write it off as misguided young men…but there is a bit of a cabal of mods than run lots of the UK subs. I’ve had multiple accounts banned.

      That’s all subreddits. The kind of people willing to do the unpaid labor of moderating Reddit are not the stable or rational types.

        The thing reddit should have clamped down on, was the careers mods - there are a dozen or more people, modding 80 plus sub. That’s never going to be healthy.

          Spez only cares about revenue. Hurting people and enabling genocides is just fine.

            That’s a huge lie by the way.

            Reddit is built on content supplied for free by users, not the work of overseer mods.
