Wondering if part of the recent improvement in mainstream coverage reflects some fracturing on the right--such fracturing giving permission to speak out. Listening to critics like Matt Walsh—as part of the media-analysis group “Unfortunately Not a Sound Bath”—I’m hearing more internal criticism about the war. Walsh’s broader views remain deeply undemocratic, but these splits may create space for more direct reporting and less deference.
Thanks for this. I cancelled my WaPo and NYT subscriptions due to their 2024 election coverage. I'm a paid subscriber of many independent outlets instead. But I'm thinking of re-upping my NYT subscription.
I agree that some media outlets are doing credible coverage and breaking stories that we need. I wish, however, that the press would call it an illegal war, or an unconstitutional war. Recently, one of my senators (Republican) tried to justify more money for DHS (he claims Democrats are not negotiating in "good faith") with the phrase "in time of war." I wrote to him and reminded him that only Congress can declare war.
You guys, the president who posts videos of himself beating up the Canadian hockey team is very concerned about fake online videos.
As for the NYT, yeah sure great thanks for the one (1) story about how Netanyahu played Trump into starting a war. Once you’ve seen what happens when they’re really mad about something, you can’t help but notice when they’re not. And they are nowhere near as mad about that as they were about the academic citation practices of the president of Harvard.

Thank you Mark as always.
