Wikipedia says he still runs the website but it doesn't look like it could be the same person to me.

I agree hard to believe it is him at least alone.

I can understand he may have been privately insulted by DJT (who has not been?) as reported as a somewhat supported theory from a Meghan Kelly podcast and
as a cause to not support DJT much anymore.

Nonetheless,  the site is a total mimic of Democrat Party talking points which I did not see Matt supporting in the past.  OTOH some previous Rs hate DJT so much they go on enemy stations and sound like Dems/libs/progressives.

We have noted as much in the climate thread but this goes further.

Get the radical agenda away from our kids, out of the schools.

Right out of Orwell, it is misinformation to disagree with the new insanity, to the point that the President of the United States doesn't know how many genders there are anymore.

I'll help.  There are two genders and the science says they are identified by xx and xy chromosome patterns.  One tends to have a penis and the other tends to have a vagina. When the science on that changes, let us know.

Within those groups it's okay if women wear their hair short and if men wear their hair long. Girls can play with trucks and boys can play with dolls if they what, but that doesn't change the science.

It's year 10 of the Trump Presidential race coverage.  I assume his studio audience is filled with liberals and for the first time they actually laugh at themselves and their fascination with everything that is not the issue on trial.

This is a breakthrough in media IMHO.  CNN ran an antisemitism article on Columbia.  Bill Maher said abortion is murder but it's ok.  NPR is exposed for what it is.

Maybe we are at some kind of inflection point.  What if salt of the earth Democrats heard both sides of stories instead of just Narrative News?

Subscription paywall, I'm unable to read this. Glad to hear his Trump hate fell flat.
