Bareback Internet Joke, CNN Imperialism Comments
Jacob Applebaum's use of a "bareback" sexual metaphor to describe unencrypted internet use is criticized as being in poor taste. Furthermore, his claim that "Republicans read CNN before they wage illegal imperialist wars" is dismissed as a partisan distraction that ignores the role of Democratic administrations in military conflicts. The hosts suggest these comments undermine his credibility as an objective researcher.
