Journalists Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal scour the internet for its craziest, silliest, most sociopathic content, part of an obsessive and ill-conceived attempt to extract kernels of meaning and humanity from a landscape of endless raging dumpster fires. www.blockedandreported.org

This used to be one of my favorite shows. Now it feels like only a third of the episode is about the topic in the title and the rest is corrections, housekeeping, Jesse complaining about an extremely minor personal social media slapfight and Katie’s dog. All of which are supremely boring. Sorry guys.
Good for the first year, but you might still enjoy this if you’re a fan of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and (Katie’s favorite) Ana Kasparian.
Katie once did an episode on pitbulls where she cried talking about how some unadoptable pits live in isolation forever in no kill shelters. But she brags constantly about getting her dog from a breeder and explicitly tells people not to neuter their dogs. How does she think those unwanted pitbulls got to the shelter in the first place?? I can’t listen to her talk about others’ hypocrisy when she has this massive blind spot.
The banter section where they talk about Katie's dog and wife is excruciating, boring and self-indulgant. Everything else is gold. Please focus hard on what works.
Helen Lewis and Katie joking about grooming gangs is beyond disgusting. So glad you two are so sheltered. Lucky you!
