The Daily Caller has published an article theorizing that the Anonymous op-ed in the NYT is "a hoax, concocted within" the paper.

Author is a "forensic psychologist." The evidence is a set of bullet points detailing "the Left’s constant hoaxes, lies and fake news."

That's it.
C'mon.
Here is the same writer in a different Daily Caller piece criticizing the idea of "cultural appropriation" on the grounds that if it were applied equally, "Persons of Mesoamerican and African descent should also not wear pants or dresses, but loincloths."
Same writer, third Daily Caller piece, criticizing spending US foreign aid to "African pigsties"
Left: Why are the libs always accusing conservatives of being crazy?

Right: The Clintons are sociopaths.
Imagine reading this and thinking, "this is good content for my news website."

You can see why Mitch McConnell didn't want to roll out a specific policy agenda, this Rick Scott document is fucking nuts politico.com/f/?id=0000017f…
"Socialism will be treated as a
foreign combatant which aims
to destroy our prosperity and
freedom" is either pure bluster or a call to imprison or assassinate a wide swathe of Americans based on their political beliefs.
The plain reading of "No government assistance unless you are disabled or aggressively seeking work" is the termination of Social Security -- or it's bullshit.

Cavuto was likely fighting for his life when Alex Berenson told Tucker Carlson's audience the "mRNA COVID vaccines need to be withdrawn from the market now. No one should get them. No one should get boosted. They are a dangerous and ineffective product." mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson…
And when Charlie Kirk told Tucker Carlson's audience that "COVID vaccines have caused “a 40 percent increase in death amongst the supposed healthiest portion of the American population" mediamatters.org/coronavirus-co…

He said this on Tucker last night too, it's really strange.
Civil Rights movement activists got arrested (you may have heard of this Letter that MLK wrote from a Birmingham Jail). That was part of the activism -- you break an unjust law and pay the consequences as a way of calling attention to the injustice.
The convoys are not engaging in civil disobedience and being punished. They are using the threat or act of force to make swaths of the country ungovernable until they get their way. That's a great strategy in a dictatorship but loathsome in a democracy.

Fox’s propagandists have cheered on the truckers as “freedom fighters,” “civil rights hero[es],” and “the face of individualism and rebellion,” while denouncing the purported “totalitarianism” of the Canadian government.
Rather than encouraging their viewers to take shots that could keep them from dying, Fox stars have championed the truckers as culture war heroes their audience members should emulate.
As U.S. right-wing activists begin organizing for their own convoy on social media, this coverage may only be beginning.

Fox News has all but ignored both Mike Pence's speech and the RNC's "legitimate political discourse" debacle. Sparse coverage on the "news" side, and none at all from the "opinion" propagandists. Why? mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox-n…
Fox is something of a black box, and divining the meaning of what the network does or doesn’t run is difficult. But two things seem to be happening.
First, they are starting their upfronts push, when they sell the bulk of their ads. It's a vulnerable time when the brass becomes more worried about negative coverage.
