Let’s assess the best case scenario for what went down after Georgia district attorney Fani Willis brought “wide-ranging” (and undoubtedly true) charges of criminally corrupt electoral misbehavior in the 2020 presidential election on the part of then President Donald Trump and a host of other political pluguglies: Immediately after bringing indictments for one of the…

More disinformation from the NYTimes? You betcha! Good Information from the Washington Post? Strange, Yet True!
Yep, yep, yep. It’s Washington Post 1, New York Times 0 on the Vanneman-o-meter, which measures, of course, “TRUTH”! The matter at hand is Missouri v. Biden, a recent decision by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals partially affirming—with the emphasis on “partially”—a wide-ranging (as in “loud mouthed” and, well, “Trumpy”) lower court’s preliminary…
The Washington Post shocks too easily
17 fatalities, 736 crashes: The shocking toll of Tesla’s Autopilot, the Washington Post announces, in a long piece by reporters Faiz Siddiqui and Jeremy B. Merrill. What does Tesla dude Elon Musk have to say? Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that cars operating in Tesla’s Autopilot mode are safer than those piloted solely by…
Shorter Ramesh Ponnuru: Sure, Hitler went too far, but so did his critics!
Haven’t had your morning coffee yet? Well, too bad, because I am playing the Hitler card this morning, and there’s nothing you can do about it. I will do Mr. Ponnuru the favor of quoting him according to the letter rather than the spirit, to wit: DeSantis lacks moral clarity on Ukraine. His critics lack…
I did not see this coming! The B-21 bomber is so dumb, even the Washington Post is making fun of it!
Hell no I did not! The Washington Post, not known for its skepticism regarding America’s military intellectual complex—because it’s a charter member!—just can’t stop snickering at the B-21 “bomber”, sounding a hell of lot like me! Noting that Congress has kept the big boy’s budget secret, and that the plane’s recent roll-out was as primly…
Misinformation at the Washington Post, Jonathan Capehart edition
Misinformation courtesy of the Washington Post? It does happen! Just last year I fact checked Fact Checker Glenn Kessler for his mis/disinformation regarding the godawful Donald Trump/Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell tax bill rammed through Congress back in 2017, and now I’m on the trail of WashPost columnist Jonathan Capehart for his seriously uncritical take on Al…
Is the Woke Post waking up just a little? Well, north of the Potomac, yeah!
Okay, I’m impressed. Last week, the Washington Post ran the following editorial, Another promising charter school is wrongly rejected by Montgomery County, in which the Post rightfully complained about the state of affairs regarding charter schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, which supposedly have been kosher in MC since 1998. Said the Post But more than…
OK, this is REALLY bad news: I won’t have Dan Drezner to kick around any more!
Yes, it’s true. The Washington Post, in its infinite wisdom and general gutlessness—though I’m sure “pussy-whipped” is far too strong a term—has decided that diversity trumps quality, and Dan, as he reports in his last post, Goodbye, farewell and adieu to Spoiler Alerts, is being eased out, for the greater good—though, frankly, I’m not sure…
Washington Post columnist empties his bladder on Washington Post column
Yeah, it’s not really a question of what WashPost Media Critic dude Erik Wemple had been drinking, but rather how much, and, judging by his recent offering, Depp-Heard case hinged on the world’s worst #MeToo op-ed, I’d say a good two liters at a minimum. It’s true that I beat Erik to the post, so…
Who is Nina Jankowicz? The Washington Post has forgotten.
Who is Nina Jankowicz? Well, she’s head of the new “Disinformation Governance Board” at the Department of Homeland Security. Politico provides a bland, just the facts summary of the kerfuffle/brouhaha/sinister plot, Small group, big headache: Inside DHS’ messy Disinformation Governance Board launch, giving DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas plenty of space to “explain” why something that…
