Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
Caution: Today’s podcast has a lot of cursing on it—cursing about the shockingly bad coverage of the extraordinary March for Israel yesterday and the effort by the mainstream media to bury it in an avalanche of “but really policymakers are concerned” coverage that is, frankly, bull—. Give a listen.

“It doesn’t fit the narrative” is a cliche, but often cliches become cliches because they are true. Those campus snowflakes we all laughed at or shook our heads at 10-15 years ago (think Nick Christakis surrounded and harangued at Yale after his wife suggested students could select their own Halloween costumes) are now in lower-level positions of power in the NYT, WaPo, etc., and it is only going to get worse as they climb the ladder and the sane people retire. A (truly) peaceful demonstration in support of Israel doesn’t fit their narrative so they downplay it. I’m sure they scoured the crowd looking for someone with an ugly sign and it would have been featured prominently had they found one.
the WaPost (Democracy dies in darkness)
downplays the numbers.

I was disappointed. It wasn’t until minute 37 that I heard the first curse word, and there were only a few after that. C’mon John you can do better than that! You know what would be even more effective? One of the others uttering a curse word! That would be awesome.
