Bari Weiss running something called The Free Press is like Donald Trump starting Truth Social.

The NYT will sanewash JD the way they did trump

JD refused to take a side but it was not for or against bigotry (in the past, refusing to side against bigotry would have ended any political career), it was refusing to decide which flavor of bigotry he liked better!

This is NYT headline morning after JD’s grotesque hot blast of white supremacist nativism at Turning Point’s hate-fest?!

In this Ohio diner, 60 Minutes still means the amount of supervised visitation you get with your kids until you can pass a drug test. But they do know this: no news report can be trusted unless it includes Stephen Miller's side of the story.

If the government doesn't force Warner Bros. to sell itself to a family of presidential cronies that suppresses reporting about torture prisons, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

In the grand tradition of American journalism, both sides must always be expressed. On the one side, there might be the moral courage of CECOT survivors who told us their story. On the other side, there might might be my service to oligarchical fascism in killing their story.

A lot of Harper's signatories have been very tough on her the past day or so. I decided to stop making fun of Harper's signatories for a while.

Several years ago my estranged conservative friend started quoting her to me as this “Jewish, lesbian, liberal who recognizes that [pc/woke] has gone too far censoring… .” He was buying into trans panic too then. I was naive to think I could talk him out of it. The conservatives play a long game.

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.
