The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

SHOCKING REPUBLICAN SCANDAL!

Expect that kind of reaction from the media whatever Republicans do in the 112th Congress. My latest American Spectator column: Even before they were sworn into office, Republican freshmen in the 112th Congress had already shocked the political press corps in the nation’s capital. A group of the incoming GOP representatives scheduled a fundraiser with […]

Tina Brown/Sidney Harman Strangulation of Newsweek Now Nearly Complete

Let’s call it a media “mercy killing”: While the Newsweek/Daily Beast merger was expected to be wrapped up by late November or early December, it has been delayed and is not closing until later this month. . . . That means Tina Brown, the Daily Beast editor-in-chief and former editor of The New Yorker and […]

The Bold, the Brave, the Wrong

American Spectator associate editor W. James Antle III rang out the old year by highlighting his most misbegotten predictions of 2010: 4. Christine O’Donnell is a no-hoper in the primary. I wasn’t confident enough in that one to make the prediction publicly, but I did dissuade an intern from writing a piece that took her […]

The ‘Ick Factor’

“In the hands of a skillful indoctrinator, the average student not only thinks what the indoctrinator wants him to think . . . but is altogether positive that he has arrived at his position by independent intellectual exertion. This man is outraged by the suggestion that he is the flesh-and-blood tribute to the success of […]

Math Problem: If the Atlantic Monthly Makes a Profit of $1.8 Million a Year . . .

. . . and Andrew Sullivan “account[s] for more than a quarter of the site’s unique visitors and close to half its visits,” then isn’t Sully the most important member of the Atlantic Monthly‘s staff? A lot more important than the “cadre of young writers [who] began filling the newsroom’s cubicles” after they moved to D.C.? […]

Letter to a Damned Fool

Tim Rogers, executive editor of Dallas magazine, decided that my flame war with Barrett Brown (which has provoked the threat of legal action) was a fit subject for a blog post that linked Max Blumenthal — of all people — as the authoritative source on me.
