Greetings! The skier Eileen Gu is the “true villain” of this year’s winter Olympics, according to the Daily Caller.  Born to an American father and Chinese mother, and raised in the U.S., Gu represents China in the games taking place now in Italy.  Because she weighs in on U.S. politics, coming out in support of issues like abortion and BLM, but stays mum on Chinese politics, the Daily Caller labeled her a “traitor”...Veteran journalist Dan Froomkin who writes the well-regarded Press Watch Substack is urging his audience not to cancel their subscriptions to the Washington Post in the wake of the decimation of its newsroom.  He outlines two key reasons to keep subscribing: (1) The NY Times “will only get smugger and lazier without the Washington Post nipping at its heels"; and  (2) Trump is causing so much damage that the country needs more news organizations covering him, not fewer.  For the record, I haven’t canceled my subscription....Uh oh. Bad news for Trump and the GOP.  Wall Street Journal opinion columnist Jason Riley believes that because Trump’s policies have failed, voters are no longer pointing the finger at Biden for the state of the economy.

Pinsker believes it would be more interesting than singers...Yesterday, I wondered who should buy the Washington Post now that gazillionaire Jeff Bezos apparently doesn’t have the stomach to absorb more financial losses.  Subscriber Bill Andresen thinks Kara Swisher would make an ideal owner.  She’s certainly got the digital chops and journalism experience to be taken seriously. Her heart is also in the right place: she donated $10,000 to a GoFundMe for laid off Posties... Dept. of Hitting Nail on the Head: “Tucker Carlson’s and Candace Owens’s Terrifying Descent into Madness” is the headline of this spot-on American Thinker article. For once I agree with the far-right-leaning outlet...Sorry anti-Trumpers: The Trump-owned Truth Social is on a roll.  Year-over-year visits to the social platform rose 27%, more than any right-wing news outlet, according to TheRighting’s research released this morning based on Similarweb data...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
