Because of what I do here, I’m a big defender and proponent of the 1st Amendment. I couldn’t express myself as I do without it. That said, I also take the responsibility to be factually accurate seriously- and when I get something wrong, I step up, take responsibility, and own it.
This newsletter isn’t based on the premise that I can make stuff up out of whole cloth to support a particular agenda AND PRESENT IT AS HONEST, WELL-RESEARCHED, AND HARD-HITTING JOURNALISM. First, I’m not a journalist, and second, I’m not Fox News Channel, which, since 1996, has been built upon the belief that White Makes Right, and Right is what America needs. Because Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes have said so.
