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.
Today’s podcast takes up the question of what the mainstream media deem permissible and praiseworthy when it comes to political coverage—and how discipline is enforced when other media professionals don’t do what the self-appointed critics and finger-waggers want them to do. Then we talk about how the same is going on, in an even more pernicious form, in academia. Give a listen.

another depressing day. needless to say how does the media look itself in the mirror and sleep at night? after years of fictitious stories obviously written from the conclusion back to an inception that supports it, when will the conservative brain trust devise a plan of action? Trump got nominated in the first place, because he didn’t bother with the minutiae of how to run the country, but instead attacked left wing garbage. at least we knew he knew, the other debaters, not so much.

“Generic Ballot” polling actually had Dems ahead of R’s, even in 1994 and 2010. I think John was citing election night results.
