When the great and the good maintained that anyone who thought Covid might have emanated from a Chinese lab was a conspiracy theorist and hater, Jim Geraghty blew through the guardrails and wrote compellingly about why the natural-origins theory didn't add up. He beat the Energy Department to it.
When the legacy media wanted to bury the Hunter Biden laptop story and (this still holds true) discount the evidence of Biden-family corruption, Andy McCarthy would have none of it and, as usual, knew the case chapter and verse.
This was a follow-up to his exemplary work on the Russia hoax. The former New York Times journalist Jeff Gerth did a massive rundown of the media failures covering Russia-gate in Columbia Journalism Review a few weeks ago, and I mean no disrespect to Gerth when I say I'm hard-pressed to cite anything that I didn't already know from reading Andy.
I mentioned the trans-insanity, abortion, and guns above, and we've had you covered on all that as well.
If you think this work is important, again, please consider ponying up a little bit to help keep it happening.
Perhaps the worst example of contemporary misinformation is the 1619 Project, which constitutes a libel against our own history.
A different take on our history is one thing; different schools of thought and new interpretations based on new evidence emerge all the time.
It's another thing entirely, though, to set out an ideological goal in advance, and then twist or manufacture the evidence to try to back it up without regard to logic or facts. That's what the 1619 Project has done, and it hasn't paid a price for it — rather, it has been celebrated in verse and song, and now has its own Hulu series.
While, depressingly, the project's lies about our history and country have been widely accepted in certain quarters of America, we've taken the approach that they can't be allowed to stand.
We've dismantled the Hulu series, which is crude and propagandistic even compared to the original set of essays in the New York Times.
And we've attacked the premises of the project root and branch in pieces that Nikole Hannah-Jones has felt compelled to respond to (while never addressing the substantive points, of course).
If you believe this defense of our country — its legitimacy and integrity — is absolutely necessary, please donate to support it.
