    I read somewhere that the boiling frog thing is total bullshit. They’ll totally jump out once the water gets too hot.

      The frogs only stayed in the water because Friedrich Goltz lobotomized the frogs beforehand. Which makes it a perfect metaphor because the Murdoch media has definitely lobotomized the public.

      in this case the boiling frogs can’t jump out except for the ones with the top 1% of the cash in the pot so,
