Fox News certainly is biased when it comes to politics, so it comes as no surprise they are critical of a new book from Clinton communications director. (Disclaimer, I havenât read the book.) Whether the book is full of excuses or not, itâs time to acknowledge some crucial facts about what happened: The âfaultâ for the […]
What is a Liberal?
A Liberal should be open to giving multiple viewpoints fair consideration. When I was in college, in the aftermath of Dukakis being derided for being a âLiberal,â one article offered this sentiment in a set of pro-Liberal points that it declared should have been in Dukakisâ response. To me, a Liberal is, by necessity, a […]
Google vs. Amazon vs. you
Google and Amazon recently got into a childish fight that resulted in Google devices disappearing from Amazon stores, and YouTube disappearing from Echo devices.

Corporatist, globalist media
Steve Bannon decried news coverage, saying it was run by “corporatist, globalist media.” Trump is corporatist. Trump is far more global than most US media companies. Yet this statement got cheers from the conservative convention where Bannon was speaking. People weren’t listening to what Bannon was saying. They were listening to how he said it. And because of that, they […]

Trump’s press conference on Feb. 16 was a skillful sideshow that allowed him to determine the headlines on the next day’s papers and the rest of the day’s TV news coverage.
