He and the other guests were excellent but I couldn't believe how bad the two anchors were. If this is what the most left-leaning mainstream media is spooning out then we are really in dire straits. I agree with your take entirely. Protests are messy. The students are young and passionate and though they sometimes lack nuance they have some very important points and will undoubtedly be on the right side of history. What a horrible shit show this all is. Thank you for having the patience and fortitude to enter the fray and help us understand more clearly what is happening!
I've been enjoying Anand's Substack, yes! I was hoping to snag an interview with him for BE&S about his most recent book, but haven't had luck getting in touch with him yet.
I am becoming more and more grumpy about my information sources these days. My tolerance for bad journalism and lazy opinion has shot down. Things are so dire, the industry is such a mess, and the stakes are so hight that we can't afford to dick around anymore.
Oh god it's Morning Joe. I'm constitutionally forbidden from watching Morning Joe. Just some of the worst television on the air. (And if they invite me on, I will happily accept.)

Between substacks (like yours) and podcasts I find I'm able to access enough good information. But yeah, there's a lot of shit out there...
