Which is to say, the Post, once one of the most respected papers in America, remade itself into a sewer of vicious lies, bigotry, and, with an utter lack of self-awareness, joined a Leftist State Media that has itself become a unique threat to American democracy by demanding Americans respect this election.
Over there in the Epoch Times, columnist Roger Kimball has pondered New York Times columnist Ross Douthat’s recent column that was this way:
Kimball:Why Do So Many Americans Think the Election Was Stolen?
Exactly.In brief, I’d like to introduce him to Occam’s razor, which not only supplies a nice example of the Latin gerundive in action (“entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem”), but also, in English, offers good advice for mental hygiene. In short, all things being equal, the simplest and most forthright explanation is often the correct one.
In the present case, the correct answer to the question ‘Why do so many Americans think the election was stolen?’ is this: because it was.
But there will be no Woodward and Bernstein–style Washington Post investigations of this election. The paper that loves Special Counsels will not be joining all those Republican House members who are asking President Trump to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the 2020 election and get to the bottom of exactly what happened — and who made it happen."
