>comedian talkin about talking politics on a TV show So Pitchfork

But what does this thread have to do with music

Pitchfork was never a serious music website to begin with. They've always had an agenda, and pandered to whatever was "in" at the time. In the early 2000s, it was your stereotypical white hipster clichés, and now its the hip-hop/BlackLivesMatter/SJW crowd.

This. They've always been a bunch of posers.

You're not really wrong per se but that's basically every major music publication (specifically catering to an audience), not sure why people rail on Pitchfork so much for this.

>reading any kind of music publication instead if just listening to what you enjoy
Anyways, people shit on them because they're the most popular, and they still try to pander to the "so indeh" hipster crowd instead of just admitting that they're no better than Billboard, and their scores are lopsided in favor of top 40 artists, especially if they're black/female. They're so unbelievably biased, and they don't even try to hide it.

They're only biased in that they go with what they think everybody else thinks is "cool".

That's the only reason any of this changes.

Anybody who gives Beyonce a 10/10 and The Mars Volta a 2/10 can't expect to be taken seriously. How can they even pretend its about the music and not politics?
I'm not even a huge fan of The Mars Volta, but giving an hour long psychedelic/hardcore/jazz concept album a 2/10 and a pretty generic/formulaic radio pop album a 10/10 is ridiculous.

They gave the new Beyonce album an 8.5/10, but I get your point. They obviously don't care about the music.
