Who Was Right on the COVID-19 Pandemic?
It’s now been three years since COVID hit. At the start of the pandemic, “experts” shouted: “Stay home!” “Close schools!” “Wash your hands!” “Disinfect countertops!” Clearly, disinfecting countertops and washing hands made no difference. What about closing schools and lockdowns? The media trashed Gov. Ron DeSantis when he lifted Florida’s lockdown. “Acting irresponsibly!” roared MSNBC’s Dr.…
I (Used to) Love New York
NEW YORK – I was a teenager when I first visited New York. The flight cost $15 on the Eastern Airlines Shuttle from Washington, D.C. You could buy your ticket from a flight attendant on board. She (and it was always a she back then) would roll a cart down the aisle with a credit card device on top. New York in the ’60s was THE place to visit. There was Greenwich Village with folk music.…
Random Musings and Random Sarcasm
Elon Musk conducted a Twitter poll to ask whether he should reinstate former President Donald Trump’s account. The poll received 15,085,458 votes -- and Twitter issued its final results in just one day!

NewsBusters Podcast: A Surprisingly Wave-Free Election Night
The historical averages suggested a "red wave" of some size in the 2022 midterms. But the media's Election Night routine was slightly blander when there was no obvious tilt toward Republicans, but instead a tilt toward all incumbents. We had no cries of "whitelash" or talk of voters throwing two-year-old temper tantrums.
Nets Swoon Over Gen-Z Lefty Winning Lefty Seat; ‘I Love That Story!’
Following most nationwide elections, one of the liberal media’s favorite tropes is to trumpet so-called “historic” winners that assist one in filling out a diversity bingo card. Such was the case Wednesday morning after the lackluster Republican performance as ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship news programs to swoon over Democrat Maxwell Frost winning a dark-blue Orlando-area House seat to…
Ruhle Asks 'Petite, Capable' Hochul If She's A Victim Of 'Sexism'
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul finds herself in an unexpectedly close race with less than one week to go until Election Day so she stopped by MSNBC’s The 11th Hour on Friday to be asked by host Stephanie Ruhle if the reason for her struggles is “sexism by voters” and “we give you enough credit” on crime.

NY Times Use Lefty Book to Smear GOP ‘Conspiracists’ Like...Bob Dole?
Partisans, a slanted history of the 1990s-era GOP by anti-conservative academic and CNN favorite Nicole Hemmer, was reviewed by Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent for New York magazine, for the New York Times, under the tired headline, “Resentful, Media-Savvy and Paving the Way for Trump.” The subhead extended the usual “Republicans are all conspiracists”…
CRIME WAVE: Nets Bury Shooting Outside NY GOP Candidate’s House
This midterm season has seen the mainstream media downplaying outbreaks of crime, and its causes, across the country, an issue that polls badly for Democrats. So it’s not a shock that the networks on Monday morning buried a shooting outside New York Congressman (and GOP gubernatorial candidate) Lee Zeldin’s home. Zeldin’s two teenage daughters were home alone and were just feet away from the…
