Man, even the very conservative magazine The Federalist, or at least its managing editor, doesn’t like Mike Pence. Not for the reasons most decent people do, though. Nope, because he expanded Medicaid as part of complying with Obamacare and he did it the wrong way. Here’s how the people who write that magazine think: …suffice …
Donald Trump, Republican Party nominee for President of the United States, threatened the owner of the Washington Post newspaper with retaliation for the paper’s publication of articles critical of Trump. Aside from the obvious First Amendment protections the press is guaranteed which Mr. Trump seems to know nothing about, there’s also the minor problem that …
I would really be interested in learning just how many of the people bitching about a former First Lady and Secretary of State’s speaking fees after she left those positions would turn down offers from industry groups to do the same.

Then I read the news more closely, and I learn that what’s happening is that the media brands are being folded into something called National Geographic Partners, which will include National Geographic’s domestic and international channels, National …

The reporter is Jackie Calmes, and the paper is entitled “They Don’t Give a Damn about Governing” with the subtitle “Conservative Media’s Influence on the Republican Party.” It’s published by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Shorenstein Center.
