Priorities: CNN Spends Almost 3x More on January 6 Than Inflation News

Column: Do We Need a January 6 News Glut?
On the cusp of an absolute glut of liberal-media anniversary coverage of the January 6 riot, CNN media reporter Brian Stelter was cranky. “We live in a world where Donald Trump's top supporters malign the media for being ‘obsessed’ with January 6.” He argued anyone who thinks this story is overdone is someone "best explained by psychologists or therapists or algorithm developers."

Column: Does Alec Baldwin Deserve Decency?
