  • Democrats are in a dither over non-endorsements

    Isn’t biased news coverage enough? Over 250,000 Washington Post readers are canceling their subscriptions because the newspaper, by order of its owner, won’t endorse Kamala Harris for President. Or anyone else. Another large daily, the Los Angeles Times, is also discontinuing candidate endorsements. Mid-level editors, high in dudgeon, are resigning in protest on both coasts. On…

  • What else can the news screw up?

    Why Americans don’t trust the news media! Mark Twain once said if you don’t read the newspapers you are uninformed. If you DO read the newspapers, you are mis-informed. Anti-Trump New York Times columnist Ross Douthat on the kind of news media bias regularly found in his own publication: Because the [Wuhan coronavirus] lab leak theory…
