The ‘Proud Boys’ Debate Moment: A Case Study in the Media’s Mishandling of Trump
It was 90 seconds of a 90-minute brawl. But for the media, it was Charlottesville all over again.
As usual, it was the president’s bluster that aided the media in pushing a debate post-mortem that reduced the state of American race relations -- and the president’s feelings on the subject -- to five ...

Trump Did Himself No Favors
The debate was a remarkable example of the fact that Donald Trump, the most self-serving man in America, doesn’t know how to do himself any favors.
For the first ten or twelve minutes of the debate, he was walking away with it — Trumpy, sure, but in control and surprisingly reasonable-sounding. If he had ...

On Last Night’s Debate
The fact that I believe the debate was unwatchable last night does not mean I believe President Trump did not have some good moments. And the fact that I imagine it was a net-net win for Joe Biden does not mean he did not have some utterly awful moments. Yet the unwatchability of the debate -- the cringe factor ...

Actually, The Debate Was About Issues
I know. A lot of folks are saying the debate was an ugly, insult-filled shouting match that barely got down to cases. Actually, I thought it was a highly entertaining exchange that helpfully spotlighted the candidates’ differences on issues. An ugly, angry exchange? Well, at least it looked like America. If you ...

Who Wins an Unwatchable Debate?
Over coffee this morning I read a fascinating interview with Martin Gurri, the former CIA analyst who first noticed the seismic impact of social media on world politics. The author of The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium, Gurri studies the fracturing of discourse and the ...

Chaos in Cleveland
The 90 minutes of “debate” between President Donald Trump and former vice president Joe Biden cannot be told as a cohesive story, or reduced to a few bottom lines. It was too fast and too disorganized. Almost anyone watching would have just picked up impressions along the way. I’ve grouped mine into piles ...

Kyle Rittenhouse’s Defense Team Releases New Video
This largely stitches together footage that was already public, but there are some new details as well, and it's also worth watching because it thoroughly explains the defense's narrative of the event:

One thing that's become slightly clearer since I previously ...

The Jerry Springer Debate
It’s a shame that Joe Biden couldn’t attend Tuesday night's debate.
Okay, Biden was in attendance, but during the 90 minutes, it felt like he barely ever finished a complete sentence.
It’s not clear that President Trump necessarily won the night, in the sense that people who were leaning against ...
