It was a pen name used by a string of writers for the InfoWorld (a computer trade weekly) gossip column in the 80s and 90s. One of the writers, Mark Stephens, continues to use the name professionally. He wrote a couple of tech industry “history” books and produced a few PBS shows. Don’t know about real life, but the Cringely character was a bit of a misogynistic asshole.
Interestingly there seems to be more Robert X. Cringely fanfic on AO3 than one might expect

I know you said rhetorical - but ultimately - the viewers. Whatever gets people tuning in. It isn’t a great way to run a news organization, IMO.
People are sick of Covid - and the whole adage, “if it bleeds, it leads” seems to ring true. 
I was off Friday and did some errands and saw several people standing on bridges with American, Israeli, Canadian and Pro-Trump flags. I only later learned that the Trucker convoy was still a thing and went through KC. The war and some local violence overshadowed their appearance in the news.
Force NATO’s hand, Vlad. Declare war on them while they try to stay out of it directly. This is why they are not setting up a No Fly Zone - because it would mean direct conflict with Russia. Attacking a Polish air field to go after Ukrainian pilots, for example would force a reaction.
Covid is now a suppository?
Some are. I have seen it mentioned the exploits of MiG-29s on the Ukrainian side. (The Fulcrum is my favorite Russian fighter jets.) (Oh, I see other replied.)
“When you order MiGs off of Wish.” (Show picture of F-15 with a Chinese flag on it.)
If this ends up helping turn tide of popular opinion in Russia - would this be the first time that the global economy was used in such a way to isolate and cut off a previously integrated country so thoroughly?
So more war crimes?

There sure are a lot of Americans who have NFI what a “no fly zone” is—I didn’t realize it was such an effective propaganda term
