I was preachy and rhetorically excessive, and I regret it.
You weren't just "excessive," you were flat wrong to blame the kids.
Let this apology stand in its stead, both here on the Corner and in the memory of readers who justifiably objected to my high-handedness.
That is not an apology to the kids you slandered.
Frankovich really does not get it. I think NR will lose many readers over this.
It seems NR is doing whatever it’s doing between now and Friday to ensure it appears they have acted within the deadline to avoid threatened legal action, as detailed in multiple other articles already posted. The plaintiffs, i.e. those kids who were merely awaiting a bus, may decide this is enough, however mealy-mouthed and left-handed we believe it to be. As for me, mark me down in the column that finds NR to be worthy of only derision and a Billy Madison Award: “I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
They have been thoroughly exposed for the last three years. McCarthy and Hansen are their only contributors worth anything.
These Never Trump dirtbags thought they could get away with cheap shots because the kids had MAGA hats on. These NR “editors” make obscene salaries, btw. Lowry is well into six figures. Too little, too late. NR needs to die a graceful death.
