TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Jun. 14, 2024

Greetings! Today may be the last day that the notorious right wing disinformation site Infowars publishes.  A court will determine its fate later today (Infowars)…Is the Washington Free Beacon giving the right wing comedy website The Babylon Bee a run for its money?  The Beacon just dropped its second satirical article this week, an “excerpt” from an imaginary Brian Stelter young adult fantasy novel about a woke female journalist working in Washington, DC.  The title of the imagined book says it all: “Reporting for Duty: Liberty’s Last Stand.” Stelter, you may recall, was the prominent and outspoken CNN media critic who got bounced from the network nearly two years ago.  However,  he still remains an active and provocative media watchdog, regularly annoying the right…FrontPage reports gleefully that the lefty Southern Poverty Law Center has fired a quarter of its staff… Low blow against Joe:  Leave it to Trump to release a one-minute video on Truth Social of Biden’s most baffling word salads under the surprisingly anodyne headline “Timeless Quotes by Joe Biden”…Weekend Watch: The obvious pick is opening episode of season two of HBO “Game of Thrones” prequel House of the Dragon.  I’ll be tuning in Sunday night, although I must say it’s been so long since season one that I’m sure I’ll have trouble following all the characters and political intrigue….If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
