The media is feverishly blasting the conspiracy theories that popped up after the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
They are right to do so. I’ve been fortunate enough in my career as a journalist to have great editors who warned me about jumping into a story too quickly when you don’t know the facts. Mr. Pelosi is an elderly man who was assaulted by a nutcase. There is nothing funny about that and it’s irresponsible to speculate. Across the board, the media condemned the wild speculation and partisan mania that surrounded the incident. …
A fraction of the skepticism that’s benefitng the Pelosis would have gone a long way when Brett and I were under the microscope. Not any special treatment, mind you. Just the hard-nosed journalistic skepticism that our glorious fourth estate is now exhibiting, when Democrats face wild charges.
Who am I kidding, though? We all know that the Stasi media protect their friends and savage their enemies.
