He literally had a hit anti-war song in the mid-80s with the lyrics: "War is stupid and people are stupid / And love means nothing in some strange quarters."

Never forget.

"Ross is one of the preeminent public intellectuals in America today, a thinker of uncommon rigor and a journalist of deep empathy," executive producer Nick Bilton writes about Douthat becoming a 60 Minutes correspondent. "Ross will bring this big and ranging curiosity to our air."

Ross Douthat and Norah O'Donnell will be full-time correspondents, per the email that I just received. Sebastian Junger, Gianna Toboni and Trevor Phillips will be contributors to 60 Minutes. Toboni, who is joining from CNN, will also be a CBS national correspondent.

Per sources at CBS, Nick Bilton just sent out an email confirming the new correspondents at 60 Minutes. Besides Ross Douthat, he's announced Norah O'Donnell, Sebastian Junger Gianna Toboni and Trevor Phillips will have roles on the show.

"They know this is TV, right??" a CBS News senior staffer texted me about this news. "I hate it here," another CBS reporter said.

Alex Jones, who has not paid a single cent to the Sandy Hook families despite owing them $1.4 billion, has been in a $3,000 per night suite in Hawaii for the last few weeks illegally using the InfoWars accounts to boost his traffic. Today he said there's going to be a national draft in three weeks.

Agreed. And that is a whole subset of Fox contributors/guests. But the entire value of bringing on Fetterman is solely on him being a current Democrat who is willing to trash his own party. Once he's fully in the fold of the GOP, that novelty is gone -- especially since he's also just bad on TV.

Fetterman has shown that the only thing he actually cares about now is going on TV. He does barely any work on Capitol Hill, is constantly absent, and avoids holding town halls for his constituents. But that media presence goes away when he's not Joe Manchin 2.0. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Here's the thing I keep going back to with Fetterman. If he defects to the GOP, what value does he have on a media front? His never-ending Fox News and Newsmax hits all of a sudden dry up when he's no longer the "rational" Dem criticizing the party. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Fox News' Trace Gallagher, who has repeatedly gotten over his skis on stuff like this, back on July 15: “We now know that they found... three bags of methamphetamine in this car. There probably is a reason that they were trying to get away from ICE agents.” www.mediamatters.org/trace-gallag...

New poll: Americans believe the U.S. should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu by a +22 margin Total: 49-27 Black: 53-13 Hispanic: 52-15 Ages 18-29: 58-17 Harris voters: 74-10 Independents: 55-20 23% of Trump voters agree as well Economist/YouGov:

Striking new poll of Texas Senate race: Talarico 45 Paxton 40 This is really notable: Talarico leads among non-college voters by 45-36 and among independents by 43-23 (!) Hard to imagine this is right but he's probably slightly ahead now. www.texastribune.org/2026/07/28/t...

Also, notice in this New York Post story that they wait until the 17th paragraph to point out that Mamdani's administration is following the law established whenever a new tax is enacted.

So MAGA media is just outright calling Mamdani a terrorist who is "doxxing" property owners and essentially placing them on "hit lists" because his administration released a public database that was REQUIRED BY LAW due to the new taxes on second homes. nypost.com/2026/07/27/u...
