Paul Campos on today’s NY Times pander to wingnuts: Damon Linker advises his “fellow liberals” not to get all hysterical about a potential DeSantis presidency, because after all: Wait a second . . . that sounds like some sort of authoritarian ethno-nationalist who would pursue nothing but the very worst reactionary policies in order to consolidate his own political power. I mean isn’t that terrible enough? No it isn’t, because, um, what is the argument here? Still not getting it Damon. OK finally we get some sort of counter-argument: Note here the rhetorical copium that reduces the ongoing destruction of liberal democracy by a party now dedicated to eliminating it to doing “bad things in office,” as if we were taking about enacting suboptimal tax policies, rather than nuking the whole polity from fascist orbit. The most striking aspect of this argument is that Ron DeSantis has always been a 100% Trumper, only now he wants the top spot in the cult.

Howard Kurtz is in a pickle: Fox News’s top media anchor wants to cover the bombshell messages released in the ongoing lawsuit between the network and Dominion Voting Systems over the 2o20 election—but the network won’t let him. “Some of you have been asking why I’m not covering the Dominion Voting Machines lawsuit against Fox involving the unproven claims of election fraud in 2020, and it’s absolutely a fair question,” he said on Sunday’s MediaBuzz. “I believe I should be covering it. It’s a major media story, given my role here at Fox. But the company has decided that as part of the organization being sued, I can’t talk about it or write about it, at least for now. I strongly disagree with that decision, but as an employee, I have to abide by it.” He could quit. But that would require a lot more integrity from Howard Kurtz than we’ve ever seen in the past. Remember, these are the people railing daily about cancel culture and censorship.And they are keeping their own audience completely in the dark about this important story. They’re just not covering it at all.
