pictures of gay couples kissing and embracing under the headline equal dignity. the culmination of decades of activism that set off jubilation and airful embraces tearful embraces. many a times follow-up, there was revelry is and soul searching on gay pride day. such cities as new york city and san francisco promised a sort of social catharsis of bicoastal toast to the nation s rapid shift on gay rights and an extended curtain call for the movement that drove it. now, the washington post front page story said the decision rewarded years of legal work by same-sex marriage advocates and pointed to the vexing challenge now facing republican presidential candidates and the gop itself, how to get in step with modern america. we also looked at the coverage of the original 1973 roe v. wade decision, and while it was overshadowed by the death of lbj, it reflects that newspapers mainly took a just the facts approach. the washington post quoted the majority, then the minority
the media would go easy on biden because, basically, he s not trump? that s out the window. look at sunday s new york times. biden s age is a big problem. polls show many americans consider mr. biden too old, and some democratic strategists do not think he should run again. monday s new york times, most democrats don t want biden to run again in 2024. that figure, 64%. tuesday, a times columnist pleads with biden not to run, and then there s the former president. tuesday s times, half of gop voters to leave trump behind, poll finds, and a significant number vowing to abandon him if he wins the nomination. trump s response, this is good, the failing new york times is down 40% year to date because if they are fake news. their reporters are dishonest. they hate our country. the new york times is truly the enemy of the people. now, of course the media would be committing hall practice if they didn t report on malpractice if they didn t report on biden s awful poll numbers or
who desperately don t want me to run for president in 2024 but, of course, the fbi is run by his appointee, chris wray. media liberals cheered on garland for the first time while media conservatives slammed an out of control justice department on the hypocrisy watch. both sides took precisely the opposite position when the fbi was investigating hillary clinton. trump asked what was the difference between mar-a-lago and and watergate? one involved actual burglars who turned out to be working for the nixon re-election committee, and the other government agents. now, do did the attorney general spark this huge backlash against doj by staying quiet for four days while he merely appeared to be seeking some boxes of classified papers that trump didn t turn over to the national archives? no question about it. that set off the pundits. these are blood thirsty savages who want to see him humiliated and violated. this is a threat to anybody who opposes them. look what we can do to yo
at risk. the people have won a victory. the right to life has been vindicated. the voiceless will finally have a voice. today starts an era of very, very, very big government where government that decides if you re going to have a baby or not. some days you get to celebrate and give thanks that you were alive when our prayers were finally answered, and the united states of america finally did the right thing. today is one of those days. it s unbelievable. i go between despair and anger. it s a heartbreaking betrayal of half of the country. you know, watching the women there, i get emotional. voters get to decide how they want to live. that s an extreme ideology that upsets the balance of power somehow? the right enshrined in the constitution as intimate as i any right you could imagine has been discarded and destroy by five unelected justices. the democrats are being dishonest about this decision. a desperate attempt to scare their voters into turning out ma
parkland, el paso, pittsburgh, brooklyn. i ask the question so many of you are asking, why are we not protecting our kids? why is nothing changing? as a journalist, i ve had to cover too many of these mass shootings. perhaps we re becoming desensitized. as an american, a parent, you send your kids to school on an average day and never see him or her again. it s unspeakable yet that s what happened in uvalde, texas. i know this gets into background checks and red flag laws and other measures that advocates call common sense gun reform and opponents call a breach of the second amendment. there are also questions about how the texas police misled journal withists about school journalists about school security, about mental health, about social media radicalization and whether there s a way to stop sick, twisted men who just turned 18 as in texas and buffalo from legally buying guns. but the bottom line is that washington is paralyzed. it s highly unlikely that anything wil
