When surveying the American media landscape for something to critique for a column, I tend to not pay much attention to any of the Juice Box Brigade writing for Vox.com. They really are low-hanging fruit over there, a perpetual open sore on the internet, oozing thoroughly awful hot takes instead of pus. Every once in

An empty restaurant during the spread of the coronavirus in Budapest, Hungary, March 16, 2020 (Bernadett Szabo/Reuters) COVID-19 is a short-, medium-, and long-term threat to an industry whose profit margins are razor thin in the best of times. On one recent grocery-store trip, I was met with the unsettling sight of an entirely empty
A pigeon flies down a shuttered and empty Mulberry Street in New York City, April 27, 2020. (Lucas Jackson/Reuters) Not every place in the U.S.A. is the same. In the coronavirus debate, the word “patchwork” tends to be a pejorative. The Guardian warned, “U.S. states’ moves to ease coronavirus lockdowns risk dangerous patchwork.” Colorado Public
A trifle to cleanse the palate on the first slow-ish news day of the coronavirus era. My take on this survey begins with a reminder that men lean Republican (slightly) while women lean Democratic (strongly) and follows with the highly simplistic truism that men and women may prioritize … differently when assessing attractive qualities in

Arguably, nothing was more elitist than journalists, who don’t need to worry about losing their jobs overnight, whining about unemployed people getting their income back. But the elitist anger of CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News notably only found select targets Monday night: red states, while states ran by Democrats were largely sheltered from
Texas Governor Greg Abbott speaks at the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas, Texas, May 4, 2018.

As I wrote earlier, my governor took endless media criticism for taking steps to reopen Georgia’s economy. Turns out “reopening” means increased prices and reduced service. I am a big fan of supporting local businesses. My hair salon is owned by a local woman and her husband. The restaurant where we watch my Georgia Bulldogs
The COVID-19 death rate is likely far — far — lower than reports. Results of antibody survey last week in Los Angeles suggested that the death rate from the virus could be as low as 0.18% of COVID-19 patients. The survey found that the number of infections in the city was 330,000, much higher than
The Twitter app loads on an iPhone. (Mike Blake/Reuters) The NLRB process has proven itself here to be both humorlessly literal-minded and easily abused. Can a politically unaccountable government agency sanction you for a joke on Twitter that annoyed a total stranger? If you’re Ben Domenech of The Federalist and the agency is the National
Say what? Most of us still remember when we did listen to the World Health Organization on COVID-19. That was on January 14th, when despite a warning from Taiwan of the high probability of community spread in late December, WHO sent out this tweet: Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear
Joe Biden, based only on the voices of the choir of goblins in his head, charges that Donald Trump is going to try to use the coronavirus epidemic as an excuse to try to delay the election — or even to cancel it. “Mark my words,” Biden said, “I think he is gonna try to

Univision’s senior anchor has once again used his privileged platform on Facebook Watch in order to smear Americans who think differently from him.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer speaks to reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., April 21, 2020.

Once again, the mantra of Never let a crisis go to waste rears its ugly head as we all try to survive the coronavirus pandemic. This time it is in the charge of homophobia being tossed at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and its blood donation guidance. Is it an antiquated and homophobic policy

Last month, the sexual assault allegations of former Biden staffer Tara Reade against the presumptive Democratic nominee started getting covered in conservative media. The mainstream media ignored it, of course, but conservative outlets were all over it. Why not? They were a few decades old, sure, but after the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation debacle, anything was
As far left governors across the country advocate for the release of prison inmates due to the Covid “pandemic,” one particularly egregious case has gone up before the Washington state parole board: The possible release of Gary Ridgway, better known as the Green River killer, who killed between 48 and 71 women during the 1980’s

Expected Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden wants an even bigger ‘stimulus’ bill, this one focused more on cities, states, and small businesses. He told Politico the goal to hand out cash to cities and states is to make sure they avoid layoffs of “teachers and cops and firefighters” while the aid for small businesses seems
While they are rightly spending a lot of time covering the coronavirus crisis, the media were still political entities. ABC proved that fact during Sunday’s This Week when three of their journalists (chief anchor George Stephanopoulos, chief White House correspondent Jon Karl, and senior congressional correspondent Mary Bruce) hyped how President Trump’s campaign messaging took

President Donald Trump gestures as he answers a question during the daily coronavirus task force briefing at the White House, April 21, 2020. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) President Trump seems increasingly ambivalent about the utility of the daily and sometime marathon press conferences. He should be — and for reasons besides just their length and frequency. First,
American polarization has reared its ugly head during the coronavirus pandemic. Millions of vulnerable people are fearing for their lives, while millions are also losing their jobs amidst various forms of lockdown. Some tyrannical mayors and governors have far overstepped their bounds, treading on civil liberties in the name of protecting people from the virus.
Ambassador Dr. Deborah Birx appeared on Watters’ World on the Fox News Channel Saturday night and State of the Union on CNN Sunday morning and blasted the media for their coverage of the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus pandemic, calling it ‘slicey and dicey’ in the Fox interview.

Illinois State Capitol in Springfield (Library of Congress) This contagion has nothing to do with coronavirus. Bailing out the Illinois state pension system is the worst idea from a week in which we were discussing the health benefits of mainlining Lysol. (Please do not mainline Lysol. It will kill you.)

We’ve seen actor Brad Pitt made up to look like an old man. He did so in the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. During the cold open of Saturday Night Live Pitt wore a wig and presented himself as Dr. Anthony Fauci. Fauci’s wish that Brad Pitt plays him on a show like
