“He continued, “It’s another reminder – even for an old hand like me – that it’s best not to make snap judgments and to wait for all sides of a controversy to have a chance to be heard.””
I’ll venture to guess...little Richie has not REALLY learned his lesson.
Just wait for the next episode... He’ll (and his minions) will be lobbing anti-Right stink bombs once again, whether warranted or not.
this is two strikes, they better shape up because they are in a severe decline.
“Despite having seen the video, Nation Review refuses to immediately comment, saying that they are awaiting more information.”
Why the hell is OUR SIDE so scared of a headline like that. OUR SIDE seems to equate the above with saying something like the following (and this is hypothetical only):
“And despite their history of lynchings, National Review says that the KKK helped limit crime in the American South”
(again, hypothetical)
Note the difference between the two quotes, yet National Review and most of OUR LEADERS look at them as virtually the same any time the Leftist Media is spun into a tizzy by something.
---We were wrong on the facts.
---Our self regard drove us to immediate pontification when questioning the limits of our knowledge would have been better.
---We've appointed ourselves guardians and gatekeepers of the 'conservative' brand. This is presumptuous and inappropriate. That's why we're harshly critical of those who ought to be allies, especially when compared to our treatment of commies.
---We resolve to do better.
MIchael Malice is supposedly going to rip face on wfb Jr. in his next book, which is about the New Right.
“The whole rag should be shut down.
“They have become nothing more than pathetic, gutless virtue signalers.”
Worth repeating.
” Kevin Williamson is not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s very smart and an entertaining writer. “
Probably those unemployed, low-life rural blue collar types that Williamson says need to just go die.

To get a job coding software in the US, first they have to get Indian citizenship, learn to speak whatever it is they speak there, spend time in the trenches behind a help desk as “Jeff from Boise”, and then apply for an H1B visa.
These Never Trump dirtbags thought they could get away with cheap shots because the kids had MAGA hats on. These NR “editors” make obscene salaries, btw. Lowry is well into six figures. Too little, too late. NR needs to die a graceful death.
“National Review at one time was a respected journal of conservative thought. That time was in the late ‘50s and into the ‘80s. It was never a news magazine as such; it couldn’t, being a bi-weekly with a rather long editing cycle.”
I used to read it cover to cover from maybe 1977 until the early 1990s; by then it was becoming more of a GOP establishment rag than a journal of conservative thought.
Like you, I found the Indiana era The American Spectator to be great. But I also discovered Chronicles, aka Chronicles of Culture, where they were way ahead of the curve in understanding the importance of the culture war.
