Dark money-funded, pro-Trump group "Great America Alliance" hires Tomi Lahren

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tomi-lahren-great-america-alliance_us_5922fee5e4b034684b0e3989?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

A little over a month after she was “banned permanently” from Glenn Beck’s conservative network, TheBlaze, right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren apparently has a new job.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Lahren has been picked up by Great America Alliance, an advocacy group supporting President Donald Trump, as a senior communications adviser.

Great America Alliance did not respond to a request for comment from HuffPost confirming or denying the report, but judging from its latest landing page, which features a giant image of Lahren, it’s safe to assume they’ve reached some sort of agreement.

As a so-called “social welfare group,” Great America Alliance doesn’t have to disclose who its funders are or how much it receives. But its sister organization, a super PAC with the same name, raised $30 million during the 2016 campaign, which it spent on Trump advocacy efforts across the country.

It bugs me that there's even a job described as "political commentator" that someone can attain without having been a real journalist. Another sign of our corrupt times that journalists don't have to learn how to report, they just need to know how to bloviate.

And that's not even counting for the pile of disinformation emanating from Tomi's orifices.

From Faux Noise, to The Blaze (for some reason, that sounds rather homoerotic), to this outfit, they all seem to hire these 'babes' that most closely resemble the typical blow up doll available in the back pages of the more tawdry "Mens' Magazines".

They all seem to have the same basic empty-eyed expression, with the same open mouth.

It's disgustingly obvious exploitation.

When you reduce some one to an image or a label, they are no longer human. Therefore any abuse is permitted, since "They're not really people".
