Hilarious headline Jennifer Rubin the ferocious lioness of partisan reporting is increasing the decibel level of her “meow.”
“Rubin, widely regarded as the most courageous and intellectually dynamic opinion columnist in the history of American journalism”
With those words it is the author that is more delusional than Jennifer Rubin and obviously is tightly encased in an intellectual bubble.
Not interested in hearing from anyone who can't figure out the country is intended to be a republic.

Generally speaking, as best I can see, these websites and podcasts survive and grow at a rate independent of content.
