Going all the way back to “A shiv in the hand of kindness “ I think you’re always at your best when critiquing the media. Looking forward to the new piece.

Thank you! I have thought for quite a while now that as soon as reporting became more about reporters as celebrity than uncovering the story, major broadcasting was going to fall apart at some point. We surely saw a major nail in the coffin this election season.

I appreciate all your work, especially as I endeavor to make my favorite cherry pie this holiday season. We should all make more. Happy Thanksgiving, Nancy!

Well, Fox news seems to be doing just fine, as that graph seems to indicate. Yippee.

Weiss’s interview of Noonan referenced the “slowly and then all at once” bankruptcy of dignity and maturity in politics and culture, and you make a trail in the same thicket with respect to mainstream journalism’s fall from…if not grace, then credibility.

I think the rudeness is justified, however, for the very reason that the “dignified” and “mature” sat on their hands and allowed insidious condescension to breed unchecked.

There’s a saying: “At some point in a boxing match, a fight has to start”.
