WSJ Opinion: Potomac Watch

I think WSJ, even if they lean center-right, is like all other legacy media. And like the rest, fail or refuse to understand the traditional Trump supporters. His supporters are pro-free markets but anti-globalism; pro-strong military but anti-war; pro-legal immigration and vehemently anti-immigration. You can go on and on. And Trump gets that and that’s why he was voted into power, not the media. His mandate is to satisfy his constituents and not the media. The media could keep making fun of him and only provide opinions or do what they are expected to do at the first place, which is analyze and report news objectively as it happened.

I never miss the Journal’s various podcasts nor fail to read the diverse reviews (this is my first). I find the views from the different journalists to be interesting, refreshing, varied, insightful and well researched. It is so different from the superficial, predictable tripe we are fed from the traditional networks that take their marching orders from an incestuous Washington silo of political operatives (90%Dem/10%Rep). Thank you for continuing to toe the line for actual Journalism, holding both parties accountable without leaning too far right!

considering the Gaetz track record for possible sex trafficking, and his role in unseating Kevin McCarthy, how can President Trump nominate Gaetz for Attorney General (with a straight face)?

They lean right no question.
