The sad piquancy of pique: fake news critic outraged when already failing TV station gets his name wrong.

Deplorable Pride's co-founder, Brian Talbert, has the fan-tods again:



In fact, WSOC-TV has only covered DP three times- yesterday, June 9, and July 26- in 76 days (which is three months only in #AltfactzLand).

It's not like his club- which is actually based in Albemarle, forty miles away- has been a breaking news item. Talbert- who forced out the co-founder who came up with the idea for a Pride Parade float in the first place- has proved himself simply a small-town media slut who rarely disappoints when it comes to shaming himself in his lust for air time (his nadir- in which he got so worked up by the sound of his own jabber he ended a Canadian Broadcasting Company interview by apologizing for being a putz- is here, complete with transcript and audio).

Busy jumping the shark, Talbert was also crying the blues earlier today about a rival gay Trump fanboy club from Greensboro coming to town, getting everybody- well, everybody in the DP world, which is hardly more than a few bodies on a good day- all confused, and crowding his action:


So he was already on notice, not that there as much he could do but whinge: his publicity push has been on life support for weeks. DP never recovered from when all their social media sites got hacked and turned into a dating site for gay conservatives in late June:



Frankly, no one- in media or out- has found DP, or Talbert, very memorable. His publicity- which only began June 8- dwindled to nothing by mid-June, and dropped off entirely after month's end.

He got a little spasm of attention for bootlicking the Trump transgender ban.

Since then- until yesterday, Nada.

You can look it up. Search something like "brian talbert deporable gay" and you'll get a few of those old stories. Click "Show All" and you'll get this:



Talbert gets worked up over things like this:


Thankfully, Sunday is the end of Pride, and with it the last straight-faced argument for paying any mind to Albemarle's Conservative Voice.
