Ross Douthat

One of the things that’s most upsetting to conservatives is the way liberals pose as the apostles of kindess and compassion and decency. Their hearts bleed for people, to use the old joke. But in today’s rhetorical hothouse, the so-called bleeding hearts relish the idea of death for their opponents, starting with Scott Galloway wanting Elon Musk executed as a "traitor."

Many media outlets label Ross Douthat, Trump’s recent 60 Minutes interviewer, simply as "conservative," overlooking his history of strong opposition to Trump. In 2017, Douthat called for Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment and later supported impeachment, showing his views on Trump are far from supportive despite his conservative label.

On Monday, all of the broadcast news morning shows used President Trump’s Sunday interview with CBS’s 60 Minutes to go after the president and his new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, while touting the possible impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and investigations into Trump when Democrats take control of Congress.

The newest edition of CBS’s 60 Minutes featured a revealing interview between new correspondent Ross Douthat and President Trump. Then new 60 Minutes contributor Trevor Phillips’s story on the riots in France devolved into bashing of France’s populist right leader, Marine Le Pen, asking her if she was a “fascist,” and implied that she and others on the European right were “finger-pointing at…

After Sunday’s newest episode of 60 Minutes featured interviews with Michigan Senate candidates Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, multiple portions of the interview with El-Sayed that did not air on the show’s Sunday broadcast story titled "Battleground," which only lasted 13 minutes, have raised eyebrows. In the full interview posted on 60 Minutes’ YouTube page, lasting over an hour, answers…

On Sunday night, just a few days prior to election day, CBS 60 Minutes featured an election preview of the Michigan Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, with new correspondent Ross Douthat pushing El-Sayed on his socialist views and disdain for Israel. He also blamed any difficulties in Rogers’s winning in Michigan on Trump’s “unpopularity.”

However, after a particularly…

The newest episode of the “revamped” 60 Minutes on Sunday featured an interview with outgoing Republican Senator Thom Tillis, a vocal critic of some Trump Administration activities during the second term, to promote his new book titled How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents. Near the end of the interview, which focused on Tillis’ disagreements with Trump and dislike of cabinet…

The Left’s perennial scolds of CBS News churned out the umbrage over hiring conservative New York Times columnist Ross Douthat as part of the new team at 60 Minutes. They suggested this was some sort of “desperate” lurch to the right, an obstreperous overthrow of Pelleyesque arrogance on 57th Street. But that created a vacancy at The Times that may prove challenging to fill.

CBS announced a new slate of 60 Minutes correspondents, but the left-wingers obsessed over New York Times columnist Ross Douthat. The Daily Beast screeched: “Right-Wing Religious Zealot Unveiled as New Star of 60 Minutes.” Poynter's Tom Jones said it could be proof of CBS "desperately pushing to the right," remodeling a show "already perfectly built."

On Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, moderator Jeffrey Goldberg devoted 14 minutes -- over half the show’s 22-minute discussion time -- to the East Wing demolition undertaken by President Trump, using private funding, in order to build a much-needed White House ballroom. After the introduction, where Goldberg complained “President Trump this week took a wrecking ball to the East Wing…

CNN senior writer Brian Lowry, and by extension CNN media reporter Brian Stelter mocked right-of-center New York Times columnist Ross Douthat for daring to write about two new movies in his latest column, even though he’s been a movie critic for National Review for years. Stelter’s June 19 newsletter included a snotty take from Lowry that suggested Douthat should stick to their knitting and…

New York Times columnist Ross Douthat took a polite shot at the mainstream liberal press, including his own paper, in Sunday’s “Why the Memory of Jan. 6 Can’t Prevent a Trump Resurgence.” One major reason: The mainstream liberal press. Douthat argued that the liberal establishment (including its press handmaidens) unwittingly reinforce the idea that Trump isn’t a “uniquely malign figure” but…

Is Frank Bruni, former White House correspondent for the New York Times, whispering to media liberals to keep it down with the chatter about sagging polls and infighting that threaten to endanger Biden’s reelection, Democrats in Congress, and democracy itself? Because that seems the subtext of his opinion posted Thursday, “Democrats' Infighting Only Helps Republicans.” Note that when Bruni is…

New York Times columnist Ross Douthat committed what could be considered heresy at that newspaper due to criticizing social media and mainstream media suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
