Sasha Stone is one of that small group of leftist journalists who sometime in the last four years or so had an epiphany.\u00a0 People like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald realized after the 2020 election that the Left had thrown away all pretense at objectivity and abandoned all of their former devotion to freedom of speech and other constitutional rights.\u00a0 Their employers at the New York Times or the Washington Post or Rolling Stone didn’t want the truth.\u00a0 They wanted good old propaganda and they didn’t need any honesty.<\/p>\n

So like her colleagues Stone has had her red pill moment and against all odds is now on the Trump train.\u00a0 But I have no illusions that Stone or Greenwald view me as anything other than a knuckle-dragging subhuman with my lack of celebratory enthusiasm for the rainbow flag and all its multitudinous perversities.\u00a0 But it is interesting to read their version of the red-pill moment and its various echoes down the years as they bump into the same dishonesty and delusion we all experience in Joe Biden’s America.<\/p>\n
