Once again, journalism is failing us. Here are just a few of the latest examples, from least-worst to outright terrible.
The Atlantic has an extensive overview of the possible indictments looming over Benedict Donald. It's not bad, but this line in the section on Mar-a-Lago documents case puzzles us: "Charges, or even a conviction, against Trump would
be somewhat ironic... getting busted for
stolen documents would be a little bit like Al Capone’s conviction for
tax evasion." Really? What if he shared the documents' contents with adversaries of the United States?
Four more members of the Oath Keepers were convicted of seditious conspiracy today for their actions on January 6, 2021. Joseph Hackett, Roberto Minuta, David Moerschel and Edward Vallejo will be hauled off to the hoosegow for their perfidy. Gosh! Remember how the talking heads kept telling us that seditious conspiracy would be tough to convict on because the law was ancient and rarely enforced?
TIME magazine has suddenly decided that Vice President Kamala Harris is the Democrats' secret weapon. Her speech yesterday on Roe v. Wade's 50th anniversary and the GOP threats to women's bodily autonomy apparently was the catalyst for their change of heart — after they shoveled endless crap about how our Veep was a big fail, a huge disappointment, with nothing to show for her two years in office.
From the foreign policy to the border to voting rights, Vice President Harris has been consistently spot-on and effective. The press, on the other hand, is simple-minded, distracted by shiny objects, slavish to the "narrative," and easily dismissive and bored. We cats HISS.
