Comfortably Smug’s annual #HackMadness is so big it was picked up by Fox News in 2020, when CNN’s Brian Stelter managed to eke out a win over the Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin. There was an upset last year, when Rubin beat Stelter to take the trophy. Now the third annual #HackMadness bracket is out. Can anyone upset Stelter or Rubin?

Good to see @JRubinBlogger seeded at #1 in her bracket. I predict her to win it all.

Stelter and Nicole Hannah Jones is a potential final matchup of absolute titans

There’s zero point in doing this. @JRubinBlogger is unstoppable. A juggernaut and this is over before it starts.

There are at least 24 future Hall of Famers in this tournament. I mean, we’re looking at enough to fill up half the Dan Rather wing of the building. Hang a couple from the ceiling maybe.

Wajat Ali gets no respect with a 16th seed. He has been posting great stuff this year and deserved a higher spot!

@reedgalen His pinned tweet is damn near good enough to win it all, this is a stacked field. He’s in it to win it

@brianstelter finally achieving a high ranking in something is huge for him

Jen Rubin or the field?

John Harwood is such a glaring oversight on the part of the committee
— Bill🌻 (@Tastywaves77) March 15, 2022
@JonahDispatch is a 4 seed 😂

Toobin is going to single-handedly spank everyone in that region. Strap in it’s about to get hairy.

Rubin should lose in the 1st round. Ali has been that good. Egregious mis-seeding.
Olbermann should be a lock for the Final Four. Amazing year for him.
— whyamihere_1 (@whyamihere_1) March 15, 2022
Olbermann does bring a strong resume to the table for this past year. I predict him to go deep in this as well

Yamiche v Reid is an intriguing 8-9 matchup. And Sykes at a 12-seed could pull an upset.
— Coder, A CoderDyne Account (@CoderInCrisis) March 15, 2022
The old favorites are still strong, but Brian Stelter has been a little quiet in the off season. We'll see what he brings to the playoffs
— JimFishes3 (@JimFishes3) March 15, 2022
Gonna be real hard to beat Joy Reid this year.
— ArchLobster 🇪🇨 🇺🇸 (@ArchLobster) March 15, 2022
This is a brutal bracket. It's amazing the number of people in it that were conservatives but became traitors.
— Zombie John Gotti 🚌 🐗 (@ZombieJohnGotti) March 15, 2022
We still think Jennifer Rubin has what it takes. We’ll report back on the champion in a few weeks.
