Self-Indulgent Shrine to Journalists Blames Failure on Press Criticism
After 11 years of hemorrhaging money, the Newseum, a 250,000 square foot temple dedicated to journalists by journalists, will close on December 31, 2019. Apparently, despite pouring $650 million to the project, the effort to prop up the floundering museum has finally failed.

Virginia’s Second Amendment Attack
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam apologized for his medical school blackface stunt, but he will have much more to apologize for if he signs into law a bill that attacks Virginia citizens' Second Amendment rights.

Vox Admits Trump's Judicial Appointments More Qualified Than Obama's
Although Vox senior correspondent Ian Millhiser spent much of his December 19 article, "What Trump has done to the courts, explained," worrying that "No president in recent memory has done more to change the judiciary than Donald Trump," he also granted the surprising concession that the judicial appointments have been highly qualified. Indeed, more qualified than the federal court picks of his…
CNN Helps Push Conspiracy Theory That Putin's Blackmailing Trump
CNN claims Fox News and its fans are dwelling on unproven conspiracy theories, like, say, the Horowitz Report on FISA abuse. But CNN is always trafficking in Russiagate conspiracy theories, enabling the unproven notion that Vladimir Putin has "something" on President Trump and that he's blackmailing him.

The Atlantic Magazine Pronounces 'Latinx' a Linguistic Flop
Has the death knell on the annoyingly awkward word "Latinx" finally, mercifully, hopefully been sounded by Atlantic magazine? For anybody even a bit familiar with the Spanish language, "Latinx" just grates on the ears.

Bozell & Graham Column: Smashing Santa and Jesus for Christmas
The war on Christmas marches on. Secularists -- let's say it: atheists -- are leaving no stone unturned. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said “Merry Christmas” in an interview on Fox & Friends. Leftists pounced, complaining this was a “talking point for the GOP.” Hollywood sees that old-time religion as a relentless nightmare of oppression. Christmas makes them want to tear the roof off of…
Trump-Hating NYTimes Pouts Trump Won’t Hold Christmas Parties for Them
This Christmas, could you please spare a thought for the truly unfortunate: D.C. political journalists deprived of holiday parties surrounded by members of the Trump Administration (whom they despise)?
