The New Yorker weighs in

[raduray]

Rejoice! The Donald is on our side!
Or, as someone else said, this is like a Seinfeld episode, a spectacle about nothing.

Can you explain the tracking part?

I love these articles with the media complaining nobody knows anything, nothing to report.

Hurrdurr- that's you flipping job as a reporter- to find stuff out. Even in their rants about nobody knowing anything, I know more than they do. Which means not only are they too stupid to investigate before the article, but also too lazy to read what's already available.

As if it couldn't get worse. Trump isn't doing brady any favors.

Nobody that watches the NFL will really see it. The New Yorker is just a magazine for upper middle class white women to read while they pretend to be upper middle class white women from New York.

My boss reads it and that description fits him to a T.

Yeah, I don't really want Donald's endorsement. Ugh.

 

[signbabybrady]

Trump has a message for Goodell, kensil, Vincent, and co.

 

[nabwong]

The Donald supports Brady but.... what does The Hair say?

Beg to differ. While aimed at the New York upper crust, they have published some in depth and interesting articles.

The New Yorker is only the best and most important literary magazine in the world. NBD.

I love it and the Pats and I'm barely an upper middle class white woman.

Can you explain the tracking part?

Tinyurl is a monitoring device for the reptilians.

 

[Mike the Brit]

Well, if you don't like the New Yorker, what about The Nation?

Still, it's a lot better than the coverage in The Globe.

When you hit tinyurl (or t.co, or bit.ly, or any link shortener) the request goes to their servers first. They grab some metadata about the request, record how many times its been clicked among other things and then redirect you to the intended link. Link shorteners were originally created for a reason, to help fit large links into character limited social networks (like Twitter). But people have taken advantage of that on non-140 character platforms to gather data about who is going where.

 

[TheBostonStraggler]

"I hate Donald Trump", "As if it couldn't get worse. Trump isn't doing brady any favors".

Absolutely. We don't want anyone with a Massive media megaphone sticking up for Brady and pointing out the lack of integrity with the NFL because we don't like his politics or that he is abrasive and uncensored. "I think that is a super philosophy Will"

Thank you. Is that information anonymous, or to they gain access to my IP address?

Seriously, the last supporter we need in this is Donald ****ing Trump. Although I guess he may drum up some support in the much-coveted "openly racist" demographic.
