2024: The Year the Media Lost

The Gloat Zone is a great place to be. Whether it’s in football or politics, the aftermath of a big victory is an occasion for soaking in the feel-good endorphin bath, and laughing at the follies of your defeated opponent. Victory is always sweetest when it’s an upset, staging a fourth-quarter comeback after your opponent […]

For the Benefit of Nate Silver (and Anyone Else Who Has Just Now Discovered How Selfish and Dishonest Joe Biden Really Is)

Much of the outrage directed at Joe Biden since the announcement that he would pardon Hunter Biden — a blanket pardon, covering any crimes committed during an entire decade, back to 2014 — is obviously disingenuous. The earlier public pronouncements by Biden that he would not pardon his son, which were echoed by his White […]

NBC News Misinterprets Evidence Democrats Stole the 2020 Election

On Wednesday, November 6, the day after Election Day, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter was full of Democrats wondering about the “missing” votes — Kamala Harris’s vote totals were remarkably lower than the 81 million that Joe Biden supposedly got in 2020. This provoked all kinds of paranoid conspiracy theory comments among […]

‘A Historic, Flawlessly Run Campaign’

At some point, we will get past the Gloat Zone. Conservatives will begin to grapple with the difficult business of governance, and move on from the cheap thrills of election schadenfreude.

The Wile E. Coyote of Liberal Journalism

Everybody remembers Wile E. Coyote was a Super Genius, right? That old Looney Tunes character came to mind this week when I read liberal journalist Michael Tomasky’s hot take on the election: I’ve had a lot of conversations since Tuesday revolving around the question of why Donald Trump won. The economy and inflation. Kamala Harris […]

Vote Trump, and the Media Will Die

Did you just orgasm? Or was that me? We’re all kinda sticky after reading this quote: “If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means they’re not reading any of this media, and we’ve lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current […]

Probably Not Wearing a MAGA Hat

This has not yet been classified as a “hate crime” and I don’t expect CNN viewers will hear a word about it for some reason: The gunman who allegedly shot an Orthodox Jewish man walking to synagogue Saturday morning in Chicago has been identified as 22-year-old Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi. Abdallahi reportedly shot the 39-year-old victim […]
