TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings!  Today, I was going to publish my favorite Washington Post article of the week that has absolutely nothing to do with politics and showcased the talent and ingenuity of its beleaguered newsroom.  (The Post's restaurant critic surveyed the CIA’s upscale cafeteria.) But that was before yesterday’s announcement by billionaire owner (I’m starting to hate those two words) Jeff Bezos that the Post’s opinion pages will only publish articles in support of free markets and personal liberty, an obvious Trump-friendly pivot to the right. Margaret Sullivan, the news outlet’s former highly regarded media columnist, wrote in The Guardian that the decision essentially muzzles the section and represents a “death knell” for the brand.  Hard to argue with her…Bill Maher for governor of California! So suggests NY Post opinion writer Steven Hayward who wrote, “He is a callback to an older, hardheaded, commonsense social democrat. And Maher wouldn’t be the first comedian propelled into high office at a stroke. There’s another TV comedian people have heard of who ascended into high office recently named Volodymyr Zelensky”…Wanna see what a Trump-run Gaza looks like? Check out this Trump-created AI 30-second video showing the war-torn area decked out with luxury hotels, swimming pools and a three-story gold-plated stature of the American president.  Breitbart has the story with video…Townhall promise its readers that they can help accelerate the demise of mainstream media by getting a VIP Townhall membership, which start at just under $20 for a year.  Here’s the big sales pitch: “Joining Townhall VIP will allow us to continue our mission to fearlessly dismantle the liberal media. Help us strike the heart of this monster”…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

Eugene Daniels Encapsulates Why WHCA Deserves to Burn Down in Flames

Pitiful Lefty White House Press Corps Whine About Access

The White House press corps has nerve complaining about access to the president after it raised barely a peep in protest at Joe Biden being practically AWOL his entire presidency. Biden didn’t even hold a press conference until two months in.

Change Comes to the White House “Press Pool”

There is zero reason for there to be a press room anywhere. There is zero reason for a WHCA. And goodness knows there is zero reason for "the nerd prom." It is time to fairly admit journalists to the press room and into the "pool."

Trump Strikes at the Last Bastion of Power for Vain Liberal Journalists

Contrary to what its members believe, the WHCA is not some noble institution that holds president and his administration accountable. Rather, it’s more of a self-serving clique of high schoolers infatuated with themselves and intimidated by any new kids who might be cooler than them.

Trump to Make Christmas Great Again at Kennedy Center

Having taken over the Kennedy Center, Trump intends a major cultural retrograde. His Christmas improvement — “a big, huge celebration of the birth of Christ,” per new Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell — has many questioning whether this is not just a MAGA approach to the same event.

To the joy of earthlings everywhere, MSNBC’s Joy Reid is finally being shown the door. The liberal firebrand’s show, The ReidOut, has been axed amid a ratings nosedive so steep it could double as a ski slope.

How to Accelerate the Collapse of Dem-Media Empire

The Democrat-media complex that has hamstrung the flow of information, pushed for codified codes of censorship, and elicited help from intelligence agencies to control thought and suffocate dissenting views appears to be in free fall.

RFK Jr. Can Breathe New Life into HHS

RFK Jr. might not be a conventional choice for HHS Secretary. But the status quo has cost lives and money on an unacceptable scale. Kennedy should seize the opportunity to clear the bureaucratic obstacles that have made health care less efficient and more costly than it should be.

The Truth About Melania

She can't win. When she plays the role we've all come to expect of the first lady, she's ridiculed and mocked. When she doesn't, it's some kind of contrived scandal. None of us know her personally, so all of these rumors, assumptions, and speculation need to stop.

TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Some book news to start the day. As CNN’s Reliable Sources newsletter reported today, a major book about Biden’s mental decline is coming May 20 from authors Jake Tapper (CNN) and Alex Thompson (Axios).  Original Sin promises to take a deep dive into the alleged coverup of the mental decline of President Biden whom they describe as an “at times addled old man.” Also: A new book by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) hit retail shelves yesterday.  Seven Things You Can’t Say About China focuses on the grave threat the Asian country poses to the U.S.  I wish he had written “Seven Things You Can’t Say About Russia” and sent an autographed copy to a certain resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue…The editorial board of the NY Post advises the Trump administration to dial back the job-slashing triumphalism, in a mild shot across the bow of the DOGE grand poobah.  “Most of the federal workers clock on for the same reasons everyone else does: just to keep a roof over the family’s heads and food on the table, not to ram progressive ideology down our throats,” the editors wrote. “Letting someone go — apart from the most obnoxious of ideologues — is no cause for celebration”…Disgusting: White House press secretary and Trump mouthpiece Karoline Leavitt called Peter Baker, the highly respected chief White House correspondent for the NY Times, a “left-wing stenographer posing as a journalist” in a post on X…The Washington Free Beacon dropped a colorful photographic essay devoted to the bold fashion sense of MSNBC’s just announced weekend anchor Eugene Daniels. With a touch of snark,  the Beacon wonders if the former Politico journalist will face fashion restrictions at MSNBC… If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
