I don't know about you, but I think this space needs something more light-hearted than "democracy is dying." So let's talk about a weatherman who could have died.

Two articles published Friday highlight the good and the bad of one of America's most well-known news sources.

The AP published a head scratching article that seems to say that Republicans own or invented the word "freedom" and Dems, who have apparently never used the word before, are "co-opting" it to talk about abortion in the lead-up to the midterms.

Student journalism is being questioned, pushed back against, stunted, silenced. That is a major problem.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but Maggie Haberman and The New York Times' political arm are the worst.

DeSantis is no joke. He’s a threat to our democracy. We need to take him seriously. Why is this so hard??

I've talked here before about how journalists should not be stenographers. I ran across something that's even worse than that.

The Associated Press, in my opinion, does a lot of fence sitting. I have slightly less of a problem with this than I do with The New York Times because that's the AP's whole... thing.
