I like Cathy a lot but this paragraph is odd. She seems to start from the premise that Jan 6th disqualifies Trump (which I wish was true, but he breezed thru a primary & was the R. nominee) so Bari shouldn't entertain any debate? I doubt Sam didn't mention Jan 6 in the debate.

While her politics are very different from mine I think Cathy Young is a genuinely principled center-Right author. I think this is particularly damaging to Weiss to the extent that if there’s an issue Young is relatively inflexible on it’s Israel.
There’s a paywall. Care to elaborate on a few of the arguments for those whose wallets are tight?
I’ll play along for a minute and ignore the Israel angle. It’s absurd to frame this as caving to pressure to “be more balanced”. It’s not about pressure it is simply a reflection of the shallow worldview of most wealthy elites.
I’m not reading another screed about how government influence in news & entertainment media just began w/ the Trump administration Democrats pretend like they didn’t work to built an overarching vertically integrated media messaging edifice characterized by brazen political bias
A flowery/verbose way of stating the obvious... The FP is not journalism, it's opinionating. Weiss is not a journalist, she is an opinionator. There is little reason to believe that true journalistic standards will be maintained, much less enhanced, under the new leadership.
“Web publication” so much bad faith framing. You guys are all the same - you’re used to getting all the calls so fairness feels unfair. Go enjoy your androgynous offspring
Oh look leftist funded bulwark telling other leftists what they want to hear, that all news media should be dominated by leftists. Balance is wrong. Leftists approve.
