If you want to see some real cope, head over to /thedavidpakmanshow where of the few posts the mods have allowed about this topic, the majority of the audience is utterly confused as to what this means. They don't understand how to read the wires article at all. Blue Maga has the same reading comprehension as regular Maga, unable to reach basic conclusions from an article without their precious YouTuber telling them what it means.

The vast majority appear to think this a good thing for Democrats to be funding influencers for the Dems but cannot see why not allowing them to cover certain topics stains their credibility as "independent journalists" which is also debatable given pakman seems to be just a news aggregator and offers no levels of journalism beyond just looking up what the associated Press is talking about, and then getting uppity about trump being trump and then miraculously never finding the time to ever talk about Israel at all.
