David French Gets Paid to Hate You

Ace of Spades points out that The Dispatch, “[f]ounded by conservative thought leaders Steve Hayes, Jonah Goldberg, and David French,” has been avidly defending Facebook’s ban of President Trump, without disclosing that The Dispatch “has a financial relationship” with Facebook. In case you’ve forgotten, The Dispatch was launched in late 2019 and, by early 2020, […]

Truth or Satire? It’s Getting Harder to Tell

January headline from The Babylon Bee: CNN Unveils New Format Where Hosts Just Watch Fox News And Yell At It This is awfully close to describing what’s happened to CNN in recent months. Once Biden was inaugurated, the network lost its raison d’être of producing anti-Trump propaganda. Ratings for CNN have evaporated since January and, […]

Is Black-on-Black Crime a ‘Myth’?

Eugene Volokh seemed to be puzzled by another law professor’s claim: An article by a criminal law professor [April 22] in the Columbus Dispatch included this assertion: “The reality is that Black-on-Black crime is a myth, and that Black and white people routinely commit crimes at similar rates, but Black people are overwhelmingly targeted for […]

CNN: ‘Crisis? What Crisis?’

For the past three days, I’ve had the TV in my home office tuned to CNN. This is something I do occasionally, just to see what the world looks like to people who get their news from the liberal media. One thing I noticed is that, during about two dozen hours of programming over three […]

Joy Reid Says the Quiet Part Out Loud

The Left’s Tucker Carlson Fixation

Tucker Carlson makes a lot of money, so he can afford to live almost anywhere, but lately he’s been living rent-free inside the heads of liberal journalists like Megan Garber of The Atlantic.
