Media & Narrative

A Manhattan Institute poll of 2,593 Democrats confirms what San Francisco's recalls already showed: moderates dominate the party but an 11% "Woke Fringe" controls the narrative. That dynamic is playing out in media too — from Noam Chomsky's newly revealed Epstein ties to a Princeton professor's whitewashing of Khomeini, the posts here document how elite institutions protect intellectuals who get catastrophic predictions wrong. Meanwhile, 88% of students at top universities admit to faking progressive views, suggesting the next generation of journalists and thinkers is being shaped by an ideological conformity most of them privately reject.
