Generation Skeptical
Teenagers overwhelmingly distrust mainstream journalism, viewing it as biased, misleading, and less credible than the social‑media personalities who now gorge at their information buffet.

The Road to Communism Part 2 Weaponized Media
We live in a time of massive media weaponization. It is all too easy to manipulate information. With the internet, social media, TV, cable and streaming services, Hollywood, and academia, even the most degenerate voices have access to a microphone or computer keyboard. The spreading of false information or rumors is not new. It has …
Now you know why I call it Journolism!
In the wake of the roughly 300 layoffs at The Washington Post, there has been a lot of blame spread, both among the subscribers who quit over owner Jeff Bezos refusing to endorse Kamala Harris Emhoff in 2024, and the paper itself for it’s very liberal leanings. The Post managed to piss off both the …
From Crime to Energy, Choosing Sides Reveals All
Why does the mainstream press report that a woman committed a mass murder, when it was immediately known that the perpetrator was a man in a dress? The mainstream press has its reasons, and they go far beyond school shootings.
Colonel Hackworth Was Right…And Wrong, by Michael Duane
COL David Hackworth was possibly the most gifted warfighter in Vietnam and one of the most, if not THE most, decorated Army officer in that war. However, like some other combat leaders in history, had difficulty keeping quiet when he needed to.
Uniforms Matter: Why the Constitution Draws a Hard Line Between Warriors and Police
Uniforms are not decoration. They are language. Long before an officer speaks a word or a citizen weighs compliance, the uniform announces intent, authority, and the rules that govern the encounter. In a free society—especially one built on constitutional limits—this signaling is not cosmetic. It is foundational.
Evil Without Horns: Jeffrey Epstein, Steve Bannon, and a Calm Conversation With the Unrepentant
Epstein sits before the camera not as a man crushed by exposure, but as one still convinced the rules apply differently to him. He speaks in abstractions. He talks about systems, reputation, philanthropy, misunderstanding. The victims are nowhere to be found—not as people, not as faces, not as lives interrupted. They exist only as legal problems, public-relations complications, inconvenient footnotes to an otherwise impressive résumé. This is not the language of remorse. It is the language of a man who believes morality is negotiable if one is clever enough.
Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
Once again, Don Surber is back with his very own brand of ribald humor, recaping the events of the past week and lampooning the usual characters.
The Subscription Losses at The Washington Post Say More About the Subscribers Than the Newspaper Itself
As would be expected, the whole of the professional media have been reacting to the significant layoffs at The Washington Post. I do not normally read Frank Luntz, but, lazing in bed this frosty morning, and scrolling through Twitter — I still refuse to call it 𝕏 — I clicked on the linked article from …
Academia’s Assault on the History of Western Civilization
What is the main opposition to requiring or teaching Western Civilization survey courses? Why is teaching the considerable and important political and social contributions Western civilization has made to the world a bad thing?
The slow death of The Washington Post
asAs someone who has a great fondness for newspapers — I delivered them when I was a teenager, and, being mostly deaf now, I have to read the news, not watch it on television — I was greatly pleased when billionaire Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post from the Graham family, which could no longer …
Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
Don Surber ranges far and wide as he recaps events facing our nation, from foreign policy to Democrat corruption led by such notables as the last Democrat Vice Presidential nominee.
NFL Football Fantasy: The National Felon League
The sports media has discovered the perfect business model: take a tiny group of NFL players who get arrested each year, replay their mugshots across every platform, and convince America that the league is basically a roaming pack of concussion-addled pirate warlords.
Multiple Institutions Reach A New Low
The 4th Estate’s coverage of an illegal alien leaving his child alone marks a new low. But they are not alone. Other institutions have shown themselves pathetic in this matter.
Minneapolis: Watching a Color Revolution Come Home (Live, Local, and “Mostly Peaceful”)
Minneapolis isn’t “going through a moment.” Minneapolis is running a script.
And not the kind of script where everybody just hugs it out at the end and the credits roll over a lake with a canoe and a golden retriever. This is the other kind—the kind you used to see overseas, the kind cable news used to narrate like a nature documentary: Observe the fascinating uprising in its natural habitat. Note the coordinated chants. The symbolic signage. The sudden appearance of professionally printed banners that definitely came from someone’s garage printer.
America is Squandering its Common Sense
One day, perhaps 50 years from now, historians will look back on the years between 2020 and 2025 and conclude that America was a nation that chose to abandon common sense and reality
Minnesota & Minneapolis Declare War on America
Not since slave-loving Democrats provoked the succession of Southern states from the Union have Democrats demonstrated such hatred for America, but that is exactly what is happening today in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
Anus and Genital Rashes: Fox News, Big Pharma, and the Breakfast-Time
I turn on Fox News for the same reason a man checks the weather before he goes outside: I want to know what’s coming, and I’d prefer not to be blindsided by it. Is the world on fire? Are we at war? Did Congress accidentally pass something useful? Did somebody somewhere do something so insane it requires a full segment and a therapist?
Venezuela raid leaker jailed. WaPo worried.
You may recall that both the Washington Post and New York Times knew about the military’s plans to arrest of Maduro and his wife shortly before the January 3 raid. Both papers declined to use the story.
Elon Musk helps get information out of Iran and to the rest of the world
As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been publishing rather little on the popular uprisings in Iran. Slightly more has been coming out, but information has still been sparse. More information has been coming out over social media, though, interestingly enough, far less on Bluesky than on Twitter, at least as far as …
