Note this generous comment from Helen, a new paid subscriber: "I have been moved by Steven Beschloss’s posts. They are intelligent, well researched and come from a calm perspective. I realize I need to do my part and pay to support this worthwhile journalism."
Stop the Fuzzy Framing. State the Facts!
Too many news outlets let bad guys and extremists off the hook in their reluctance to address them directly

Today’s installment of our short video series “Media Misses” looks at major media getting squishy on the facts. North Carolina Republican candidate Mark Robinson has unquestionably made antisemitic comments, but The New York Times says they were “widely seen” as antisemitic. So it’s just an opinion? Also, The Washington Post’s headline on Paul Manafort said he was “criticized for Russian ties” when it should have directly said he had Russian ties. It’s not partisan sniping—it’s a fact. So say so.
As usual, “Media Misses” pairs me with Mark Jacob, author of the excellent “Stop the Presses” newsletter. Give it a read and subscribe, if you haven’t already.
