It was a grand experiment, and it enabled me to write some of the best stuff of my long career: 30 columns and 27,000 words criticizing the mainstream media for their blatant bias, dissecting their intentional lack of coverage of inconvenient truths, and examining their hidden motives and underhanded trickery. We called my column The […]
Elon Musk Is Transforming Twitter, Not Killing It
April 19, 2023 5:52 pm ET Elon Musk is building Twitter into something better, bigger, safer and, above all, freer. Yet media headlines claim the company is “dying.” The doom is overwrought.

The Haters on ZeroHedge
“I’ve always been . . . a provocateur.” That was my opening line in a mini-profile TV spot that CNBC taped with me as part of its “I am CNBC” campaign a few years ago. Truth in advertising. But I never expected to provoke the firestorm of bitter, mean-spirited, angry reaction that greeted a simple […]
GS & @BS
You see the headlines this morning? Publishing titan Simon & Schuster kills six-figure book deal with @GSElevator, the Twitter feed that bashes Goldman Sachs and all of Wall Street.
