On Thursday, the Democratic National Committee’s 2024 autopsy finally reached the public view, and its error-filled, omission-laden contents were laid bare following a much-ballyhooed, will-they-or-won’t-they-release-it strategy by Chairman Ken Martin as the party struggles to achieve basic aims like fundraising. Unsurprisingly, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC ignored it on their flagship…

Daniels: Dems Should Focus On Kitchen Table Issues Like Trans Kids

Even by the low standards of MS NOW, senior Washington correspondent Eugene Daniels’s Thursday appearance on Chris Jansing Reports was a stellar example of how not to do journalism.

How News Aggregators Reinforce Political Ignorance

The other day, a young lady got on the elevator and promptly whipped out her smartphone and began scrolling. “Excuse me,” I said, “can I ask you where you get your news?” She said, “You mean like news about what’s going on in the world?” “Yes.” “Oh, TikTok.” This reminded me of a dinner conversation I once had with economist Thomas Sowell. We discussed the overwhelming consensus among…
