On February 28, the New York Times magazine published a long, dark essay by left-winger Emily Bazelon on the prospects for President Trump's Department of Justice--or, as the Times headline put it, 'Department of Justification.'

Some Fake News About Me from Bloomberg Posted March 22nd, 2017 @ 12:44pm Last autumn, before the election, a writer for Bloomberg asked to spend a day with me to interview me for a feature piece about my blogging on Trump, and my life in general. I could tell from the initial conversation that it was going to be a hostile article. The reporter was open about being deeply frightened of Trump, believing him to be a racist, sexist, homophobic monster. So you can imagine how she felt about me for w...
