The TikTok Derangement Syndrome

The media's hatred of Trump is blinding them to a real national security threat

TikTok

To understand business in China, look to the demise of Neihan Duanzi, a popular joke-sharing app shuttered by authorities in 2018 for "indecent" content.

The Oldest Hatred Rears Its Head

This week in media anti-Semitism

New York Times

It’s been more than two days now since the New York Times opinion page, policed closely by the paper’s readers and employees for evidence of bigotry, published an op-ed that approvingly cites the black anti-Semitism explained away in a fifty-year-old essay by the writer James Baldwin.
