There was no bigger story in 2020 than the coronavirus and no one covered it better than The Atlantic’s Ed Yong. His work was masterful. There is no other word to describe it. He wrote his first coronavirus story for The Atlantic — The Deceptively Simple Number Sparking Coronavirus Fears — on Jan. 28. Since then, he has written at least two dozen m...
Anytime former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” with moderator Margaret Brennan, it was must-see TV. Brennan’s focused questions about the coronavirus and Gottlieb’s no-nonsense and crystal clear answers gave viewers clarity into a topic that was anything but clear for most of this year. It fel...
With so much news, it was actually good to see the network evening news have somewhat of a renaissance in 2020. No, it’s not back to the old days when Walter Cronkite would attract 20 million viewers. The TV landscape is so much different now and the Cronkite days are gone forever. Still, the national news is showing some of its best ratings in yea...
The New York Times had two incredibly somber stories about the coronavirus. One, a first-hand account from nurses inside a New York hospital in “Patients Have Panic in Their Eyes’: Voices From a Covid-19 Unit.” The second was “‘Feeling Like Death’: Inside a Houston Hospital Bracing for a Virus Peak.”Both were just chilling.
Former University of Kentucky basketball player Rex Chapman is the most fun follow on Twitter. His viral videos can stir up any emotion: anger, joy, sorrow. But most of the time, they will have you laughing out loud. Runner-up for best Twitter follow this year: veteran journalist Dan Rather. He’s 89 years old, but knows how to do social media as we...
It’s the longest-running show on TV, and still the gold standard of Sunday mornings: NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Moderator Chuck Todd remains one of TV news’ most influential personalities. He isn’t beloved by all viewers, and often is beat up in the Twitter world, but I will never understand that. His interview skills — especially in dealing with poli...
Nothing in media has exploded more over the past several years than podcasting, but oddly, I’ve found very few places that provide really reliable podcast coverage. For my money, no one does it better than Vulture’s Nicholas Quah. And just to show you, and because he’s way more equipped than I am, here’s his piece that fits in perfectly with the th...
Let’s not overthink this. The New York Times’ “The Daily” remains the best podcast there is. If you need to know the biggest story in the country (and, often, the world), and want to go beyond the headlines, this 20-minute daily podcast is your go-to source.
You might think it was The Wall Street Journal’s recent idiotic and pointless op-ed about whether or not Dr. Jill Biden should be called a doctor because her degree is in education and not medicine. That op-ed was stupid and senseless, and we shouldn’t give it any more thought. But Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-Ark) op-ed in The New York Times in June had t...
Speaking of The New York Times editorial board, it endorsed not one, but two candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination. Seriously? The whole point of an endorsement is to help voters by endorsing one. Making it more comical is the Times endorsed Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren in what appeared to be an attempt to endorse anyone other...
