I agree with everything in the article, in part because I lived through it. The only thing with which I disagree is that it was costly. It has not yet been costly enough. Sure, CNN+ folded, but that's not enough. We need WaPo to pay out a significant sum to Kyle Rittenhouse, along with NYT and MSNBC.

Then we need defamation lawsuits by Mike Flynn against half the world. This list is long.

Great analysis. Journalism has become an institution staffed by upper-class college educated liberals.

I think a good example would be the latest Substack in Common Sense written by Congressman Peter Meijer. After reading it, I thought he made baseless allegations against his political opponent and thought it was just at attempt to bolster his ratings against a Trump-endorsee. However, when I looked up Peter Meijer, there were a list of articles that reported his op-ed as if it were news.

I still haven't been able to find anything said by John Gibbs (the "far-right conspiracy theorist") that is either anti-Semitic or "fringe". Every news article I read either quoted Meijer's op-ed or from another news article.
