I’m perfectly fine with the New York Times publishing the Alaska investigation. That’s their job. But their job is also to report fairly, provide context and apply the same standards regardless of which political party benefits. I don’t think they did that here.
And this isn’t happening in a vacuum. Republicans have been using similar tactics in the current election cycle. But did the Times report on them? Not that I could find.
In Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, Andrew Tupone, a former Republican running as a Green Party candidate, was accused of being a spoiler intended to siphon progressive votes from Democrat Bob Brooks. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ultimately upheld his removal from the ballot.
In Montana, Republican Sen. Steve Daines announced his retirement just minutes before the filing deadline, after his preferred successor had filed, effectively avoiding a contested Republican primary.
And in Alaska, while the Times focused on Democratic-aligned operatives recruiting a second Dan Sullivan to potentially dilute support for the Republican incumbent, Republican efforts to challenge that candidate’s ballot access deserve scrutiny, too. The Alaska Supreme Court ultimately allowed the second Sullivan to remain on the ballot.
These are all developments from the current election cycle. They deserve the same investigative attention. They haven’t gotten it. The only one that did was the one they believed was led by Democrats.
I’m not arguing that the Times shouldn’t have published its Alaska investigation. I’m arguing that it should have put the story in the broader context of political interference being practiced by both parties, including Republicans actively employing these tactics right now.
Josh is correct, journalism isn’t supposed to elect Democrats or Republicans. It’s supposed to inform the public. Accuracy matters. So does fairness.
This is why mainstream media is failing. It will continue to do so until journalists work to inform people again, not to get clicks.
The Big 12 has now officially said this was the wrong call. Officials originally got the call right, then overturned it to give BYU a TD. BYU won the game by 1 score. 😬
A Texas offensive line that was so terrible in 2025 that it sparked an offseason overhaul gave up 23 sacks in 13 games.
This Texas offensive line just gave up its 24th sack in game No. 8
The problem with the story wasn’t running it. It was the lack of context on Republicans doing the same thing in the same race or propping up a candidate with the same last name as the D in the Nevada Gov race.
This is a stunning rules error by Replay. As Mike noted, given the forward progress ruling, certainly incorrect, the rules only allow the ball to be awared to the recovering player. There can be no subsequent advance after review.
.@SECOfficiating says the Auburn player signaled fair catch who didn’t catch the ball, therefore the ball is down wherever it’s caught. #4 did not signal fair catch
Fox's Connor Onion, Robert Griffin III, and Mike Pereira tried to make sense of how BYU-ASU officials overturned this call.
"This is three weeks in a row where we've had Big 12 officials just making up rules as they go."
🚨 Rep. Jim Himes reveals lawmakers have WAR-GAMED a scenario in which Trump claims Russia or Iran hacked the midterms, then orders federal agents to seize voting machines.
Himes says they've prepared for exactly this kind of potential Election Day interference.
Big moment for the country
A president who can’t admit he lost the 2020 election directly controlling the Justice Dept during the 2026 election — and pretty much every person making decisions at DOJ has refused to publicly admit the most fundamental fact:
He lost fair and square.
JUST IN: A federal judge has thrown out President Trump's lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over its story about the Jeffrey Epstein birthday letter.
