1. We have witnessed the debasing of journalism over, what....a decade or so. Today the expectation is for just about all "journalists" to wear the Pravda and Izvestia imprimatur and provide any story or slant as long as it advances the Left's/Democrat's narrative......and hide or outright lie about any 'news' that doesn't.
2. "...make no mistake: beyond the rough-and-tumble of political campaigns, left-liberals continue to dominate the institutions that set the nation’s political agenda. As incontrovertible and well-known data show, academics and journalists have, on average, quite liberal opinions; lawyers, too, lean left. The left-wing professors articulate the long-term intellectual goals, which are generally premised on the need for expansive government programs to achieve them. As John Maynard Keynes famously observed, “politicians distill their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.” Newspapers and television news broadcasters then shape the shorter-term political and policy agenda, and—Fox News, the Wall StreetJournal, and a few other major outlets excepted—they follow the academics’ lead. Liberal attorneys litigate on behalf of their favorite public causes, also helping to tilt policy to the left. Such agenda control, needless to say, is enormously valuable politically. Most citizens aren’t sufficiently interested or coordinated to get items onto the agenda themselves."

3. As I have never put on Fox News since they stabbed Trump in the back on election night, I'm a day late in seeing Tucker Carlson's shows.....but do get to see the news-worthy ones on the internet.
And this is exceptional.
4. Can you imagine, if this was the normal effort of the other thousand liars, hacks, and DNC spokespersons....

Liberals Versus Political Speech
Once upon a time, liberals pushed free speech at every opportunity. They lauded Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes and Louis Brandeis for protecting unpopular views via the First Amendment early in the last century, for instance. During the 1960s, Berkeley’s Free Speech Movement demanded the right...
