Just read the transcript of Ezra Klein's interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates in the NYT. Regarding his new book "The Message", Coates was asked whether he thought it might be a good idea to hear any other opinions besides that of the Palestinians he traveled with in Israel during his 'research' pilgrimage. Mr. Coates' response: "There are things in this world that I see that I just don’t want to hear the justification for." In other words, it's not complicated, that's a lie. There are good guys (Palestinians) and bad guys (Israelis, and any Jew who disagrees with him). Simple.
This is why I find The Free Press so valuable. I can turn to any number of establishment media entities to hear (rightfully, in some cases) about disinformation being peddled on the right. But these same media organizations are silent about the lies of Hunter Biden’s laptop and the now debunked Trump-Russia collusion. It’s maddening that a party who purports to care so much about truth and about misinformation is so willing to benefit from misinformation if it hurts the other side. What is a non-ideological reader to do? Read TFP I suppose. Thank you Bari Weiss!
All the interns will be "cut & paste" of what is already at TFP.
Can someone at TFP please explain what the exact purpose of the Steele insert, with all the external links, was all about if not regurgitation of old crap?
I do appreciate Maya's response about the makeup of TFP's fellowship program. Why can't TFP discuss the banning of longtime commenters? We have been asking about it. Why not come out and explain what the deal is? Also, can Madeleine be promoted to editor of the Front Page?
Why we have DEI to correct all the inequities of poor public schools in poor areas when teachers unions and anticharter school measures are Democrat backed makes no sense. When Chicago schools were ruled by nuns in habits armed with rulers, Chicago students were educated.
I see TFP falling into the same trap as elite universities, reading that they will recruit fellowship candidates based on a sense of diversity.
Maybe this has already been done, but why not develop the qualities and experiences desired and assess the applicant pool for those who best meet the qualifications.
Recruit on merit and the qualities identified by the Free Press. It is not Noah’s Ark.
But if you only look for candidates at elite universities, are you missing out on top talent? Heck, they didn't even pick anyone from a public ivy if I recall correctly.
I believe in process, one that proceeds logically toward defined goals. For the fellowship interns, they should develop consensus on what it is they seek in a candidate, then assess those interested and select those who come the closest to the goal.
Considering their school, geographic origin, income background should not be considered unless it is part of that preliminary consensus in identifying hiring goals.
I completely agree that you should consider students from (are you sitting down?) public universities, even those with the word State in their name. It may surprise you how smart folks can be who didn't go to "elite" private schools. And, I might add, how much more in touch with reality they are.
This edition of The Front Page had the most fair and diverse reporting I have seen from Free Press. If I thought you could continue to be this unbiased I would even consider subscribing. Let’s see how you do through and after the elections.

Actually I thought they were pretty clear that Steele story and book was clearly a comical rehash that only dummies would believe. For example they clarify that Laptop From Hell was authenticated in Hunters own trial, by his own admission. Less bias here than in so many of their other stories IMHO.
re: The Fat Bear story. Just goes to show; the Toxic Feminists who are constantly posing the question, "As a woman, would you rather meet a man in the woods or a bear?" now have an answer.

"...The University of Georgia received over $640,000 to “identify systemic racism in mathematics teacher education.”
Mathematics is not a precise science after all...

I’ve enjoyed Ms. Kearns’ writing since her days at NR. Keep up the outstanding work.

You cannot comment without a subscription. Period.
It’s disturbing thst Trump would print his Bibles in China, but it’s kind of funny because I don’t get why anyone would buy a Bible from Donald Trump!
This is also true.

You are right Mary but with so much else going on around the world my question remains .. why regurgitate this now with links to the old tired lies?

Choose the man. He'll only eat part of you.
