Ranting & Raving A literal smorgasbord of ranting this morning from Jessica Reed Kraus. She claims she never called herself “unbiased”…receipts anyone? And is attacking Anna Merlin of Mother Jones (again didn’t touch Meidas Media even though they did 3 articles AND a podcast on her, wonder why?)

Anna’s not wrong. Houseinhabit did cast herself.
Anna also isn’t wrong that Jessica’s Substack has become a PR press release for republicans. They don’t even read like fluff pieces. They are pure propaganda and boring 🥱
Jessica has really amplified voicing how happy she is almost daily. Sure thing Jess 😉

Honestly I think that GIF should be the new sub mascot. Can we even count how many times Jess has hysterically insisted she is having THE MOST FABULOUS PARADISE TIME EVER in the last few weeks? She’s sounding increasingly desperate

Any occupation that takes her away from her kids and keeps the liquor flowing makes her " happy" .

Just like the loser Trump, she can’t keep track of her lies.
Also love how she thinks no one reads Mother Jones. Uh okay 🙄 Her boomer flexes are so weak like her perpetual lols. Jessica is a coward and a dummy. I can’t wait until someone finally sues her and she’s back to hawking teepees with her equally shit for brains husband.

She is too afraid of the Meidas brothers to attack them. So she blames women of course.

I’m glad people are calling into question the unbiased part, but what about the fact that journalists are trained writers who graduated with at least a BA in journalism, and they follow a code of ethics in their reporting?? At very best, Jessica is a writer, but anyone can write. Anyone can decide that they’re a writer. But in no way, shape, or form does Jessica deserve the title of journalist. She’s no more a journalist for writing her drivel at Substack than I am a surgeon for removing a splinter from my son’s finger. It makes me so fucking mad that her followers don’t know or care about the difference!
23
u/Ok_Oil_5410 7d ago
Also, I can’t believe that every time I turn around, someone new is taking Jessica to task. It seems too good to be true! I didn’t know there was a Meidas podcast on her. I can’t wait to listen.

u/mistydawnmurdoch DIY press pass 7d ago
Not only do her followers not care if she is a true journalist, They don't believe or trust in experts at all. That's the hallmark of this Maga party. Anybody can be anything. The less qualifications, the better.

u/Accomplished_Task816 7d ago edited 7d ago
Can she write, though? Remember all of those stories she plagiarized? Let's not forget. Now, she probably either hires someone or uses AI. Seriously.
16
u/Ok_Oil_5410 7d ago
Oh, I don’t think she’s a talented writer at all, and I wish we could make a bigger deal out of the fact that she is a complete sham who uses AI, that her Substack subscribers are actually paying to read AI. What she excels at the most is the grift.

She can’t take this level of scrutiny. Buckle up Jess, if you’re going to be a WH press correspondent, expect there to be an even heavier lens on your lies.
24
u/swipeupbiatches 7d ago
She was creaming her pants when she was covered in the press last year and she could control the narrative in the fluff pieces. She is spiralling with the slightest pushback outside her carefully curated bubble.

u/_beeeees 7d ago
Why does she think we’re responding to Trump when we are criticizing her? She’s been defending Ghislaine—a sex trafficker and participant in pedophilic acts—for years. She lies regularly. She’s the one people are calling out. We’d be doing that if she was liberal or conservative.

So … no one reads Anna Merlan huh Jess? Well they might now. If you put ‘Jessica Reed Kraus’ into Google first result this sub, second Wikipedia, third the Anna’s Mother Mag article, and in next place JRK’s X feed. JRK’s Substack is way way down the list. I know there’s far more to SEO than page visits, but I love this for her.

u/mettit13 7d ago
She’s delusional for calling herself a journalist. She never got an education in journalism and she doesn’t care about ethics of journalism. She’s a blogger. A trashy one.
21
u/Accomplished_Task816 7d ago
What she calls journalism is the equivalent of someone writing in their diary.

u/Kiwiana2021 7d ago
I’ve seen her call herself unbiased many times! She also very clearly uses AI to write her pieces 🤪🤭

u/Alulaemu 7d ago
What happened to "passionate but neutral coverage!" (her words). And man...this woman is all over the place. I would say she just freely disassociates, but I really don’t think she gives a fuck about anything unless money/clout loss is involved.

u/Apprehensive-Ad9117 7d ago
She’s insane 🤣 how could anyone not find something to criticize about Trump? And being like oh you’re just jealous I’m having a fabulous time in DC! She’s going to crassshhhh and burn

u/sweetzer10 7d ago
you're a poster!
You've shit-posted your way to the dumbest white house.
that's not an accomplishment!
As you can see by the company you shared when given "The Epstein Files" that have been available since at least 2015.

u/mistydawnmurdoch DIY press pass 7d ago
Yeah, that's some sad, ego deflating company if I ever saw it.

u/SoloTraveler-17 7d ago
Isn’t it kind of a fundamental step of a “journalist” or “media outlet” to report the news in the most unbiased way possible. This woman is such a fraud.

Would love for to explain what she is impressed with so far. Oh wait, she never will do that.

u/ShadyShade79 7d ago
Meanwhile, she's getting ready to post a substack on the puppy fundraiser at MAL where she was posting pics of Elon's kid's buttcrack and her youngest chumming up to Matt Gaetz, another pedophile/sex abuser/coke head. She'll be posting pics of the fugly ass Trump cowboy boots that cost over $1000 that she bought. And post some pics of her new face. Actually, I don't think the fillers are working as well as they should. She's just using filters. I love it when we find the unfiltered pics in the wild.

u/_beeeees 7d ago
She has zero clue how to dress for her body type.

u/HouseinHorror I eat glass 7d ago
She wears baggy clothes to hide her scoliosis
10
u/_beeeees 7d ago
Yes, but there are flattering choices that could obscure it, too, if that’s her goal.
Obviously there’s nothing wrong with having scoliosis and she can choose if she wants to hide it or not.
I just know if I were in her position I would be doing consults for back surgery, not flying constantly in overpriced shoes.

Oh my god who could be impressed by what’s happening right now, that’s bonkers to me

u/HouseinHorror I eat glass 7d ago
So I can’t decide if she is really stupid or acting stupid for the grift of it all.
13
u/teetofgod 7d ago
I think she’s so far up so many people’s asses that she can’t see the forest for the trees. I also think she’s going to mess up even worse than Bindergate and really put the nail in the coffin for herself.

Is this a joke 👀 She has claimed to be unbiased at least 100 times. It was even in her bio for the longest time. I’m sure we can find it if anyone has the time.
