CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 19, 2020
ONE OF THE MOST OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS I GET IS “WHERE CAN I GO TO GET TRUTHFUL INFORMATION”? ANSWER: THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.
THE JOURNAL IS FAIR IN ITS NEWS COVERAGE. IT’S EDITORIALS AND COLUMNISTS ARE CONSERVATIVE ON MOST THINGS, BUT EVEN LIBERALS ARE WORTH READING BECAUSE THEIR APPROACH IS LESS PARTISAN THAN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND WASHINGTON POST.
THE JOURNAL’S OPINION OF THE OPENING NIGHT OF THE VIRTUAL DEMOCRAT CONVENTION WAS SPOT-ON. THE LEAD EDITORIAL CUT THROUGH THE FICTION THAT JOE BIDEN AND HIS RUNNING MATE ARE CENTRISTS AND NOTED THAT SOCIALIST SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS GOT THE LONGEST SPEAKING ROLE. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEX, WHO HEADED UP THE CLIMATE CHANGE PANEL FOR THE PARTY, IS ALSO GETTING A PRIME TIME ROLE, THOUGH A SHORT ONE. THE JOURNAL CONCLUDED THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY THE HARD LEFT, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT COMMUNIST DICTATORS AND WOULD WRECK THE AMERICAN ECONOMY WHICH IS COMING BACK.
THE JOURNAL ALSO HAS MANY INTERSTING FEATURES, INCLUDING ITS SATURDAY EDITION WITH A GREAT REVIEW SECTION ON BOOKS AND ENTERTAINMENT. READ THE JOURNAL. YOU WILL LOVE IT.
