Michael Barone in dailyherald: Let's have reconciliationon the Russia collusion hoax, too.
What are"the major problems this country faces?" Writing in The Atlantic, New York Times columnist David Brooks leads off his list with"inequality, political polarization, social mistrust" before concluding with the inevitable"climate change." Today's"inequality," he notes, is as"savage" as the inequality in the 1890s.
So, if inequality is not the problem Brooks suggests, what about political polarization? To denizens of Twitter, it seems agonizing, and you can argue that it's greater than in the 1990s when Brooks was a Weekly Standard colleague of Tucker Carlson, whose current audience he characterizes not entirely accurately as"affluent white Republicans."

Aside from this, the current leaders of The New York Times and other major publications and networks have been unwilling to admit that they fostered a false narrative, beginning with the baseless charge that Russian bots had somehow swung the 2016 election to Trump.
