"Finally, also in our review we note that when the publication was founded in 2012, editor Matthew Continetti wrote that it would 'scrutinize the left’s claims with the same adversarial techniques that the left uses to cover the right.' However, I cannot find a disclosure of this conservative perspective anywhere on the site. This does not meet NewsGuard’s standard for handling the difference between news and opinion responsibly."

“Even so, I believe I can make far better use of my time and experience at my new institutional home—the Hamilton School of Classical and Civic Education at the University of Florida—than at Harvard.” compactmag.com/article/why-im…
“We have not hired with tenure a historian in a Western field—ancient, medieval, early modern, or modern—in a decade; the last promotion to tenure from the junior ranks occurred in 2012.”
“Meanwhile, the department has lost eight senior historians in Western fields—all major figures—through death, retirement, or departure for other universities. I will be the ninth, and I am not expecting to be replaced.”
🧵"Karine Jean-Pierre can't stop making history. Earlier this year, the former White House press secretary became the highest-ranking openly queer, French-born black woman with a hyphenated surname to publicly renounce the Democratic Party for being mean to Joe Biden."
"She is the only black female lesbian immigrant to publish a book about her time in the Biden administration. It is the worst political memoir ever written in the history of the English language."
"This is not hyperbole. It's an especially vacuous genre and highly competitive, to be sure. But imagine writing a book so bad it could shame Democrats and liberals into second-guessing their cult-like devotion to DEI."
Meet CNN Creators, the completely, totally, absolutely not sponsored in any way new show from a "team of digital-native storytellers as they navigate the stories that matter most."
The first episode features four little-known CNN reporters and producers gallivanting through Doha's Souq Waqif market, where they marvel at stray cats and try on "traditional Qatari perfume."
While CNN has not released ratings for the inaugural Creators episode, commenters are weighing in. "This is so cringe it hurt…" the top comment on a YouTube cut of the show reads. "My algorithm has failed me," another user wrote. "Cringe. Infantilising," said a third. "I'm sure this show will have hundreds of viewers," a fourth predicted.
I was pretty sure when I received an email in November asking me to serve on a Pulitzer Prizer jury that it was a joke. Turns out, that wasn’t the joke 🧵
Before serving on the National Reporting jury, I signed an agreement to keep my membership on the jury and our selection of finalists confidential "pending the formal announcement of the winners."
After this year’s Pulitzer Prize for Commentary went to the Palestinian poet and Hamas apologist Mosab Abu Toha, who lambasted the media for “humanizing” Israeli hostages and argued they weren’t hostages at all, we at the @FreeBeacon had some questions.
When Tim Walz launched his ‘06 campaign, he boasted in his biography that he’d been named “Outstanding Young Nebraskan by the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce.” That wasn’t true and the then president of the Nebraska chamber sent him a letter - freebeacon.com/democrats/for-…
The letter asked him to remove the reference and noted the Chamber had endorsed Walz’s GOP opponent, Gil Gutknecht -
"It fits a pattern of misleading and fabricated statements he has made throughout his political and personal life," Gutknecht told @FreeBeacon. "All political figures are guilty of a bit of puffery. He frequently went well beyond that into prevarication."
The Conservative Partnership Institute, home of Mark Meadows and Jim DeMint, left exposed and vulnerable every resume updated to its job bank for the past several months. Info included social security numbers, identities of TS/SCI clearance holders, cell numbers/addresses and more - freebeacon.com/issues/hundred…
The @FreeBeacon reached out to them this morning to let them know we planned to do a story but wanted to ensure all the information was removed beforehand. We got a call from a PR rep who challenged the assertion and hung up on us. The information was removed shortly thereafter.
Applicants described themselves in the following ways... An intelligence analyst for a U.S. government client described herself as "a highly qualified Intelligence professional with over 5 years of experience in the Intelligence Community…TS/SCI clearance with Full Scope Polygraph." A current Pentagon official with a TS/SCI clearance said he "leads the team that translates the President’s and Secretary of Defense’s directives into policy and orders for execution in U.S Central Command." The resumes for both included their names, addresses, and cell phone numbers.
