Amazing story by Hannah Beech … Thank God for journalists of the much-maligned mainstream media who continue to tell us what’s really happening in the world.

Very dispiriting to see the comments below my story today on anti-lockdown lawyer Rocco Galati being sued for alleged negligence in handling a doctor-client's case. Anti-vax disinformation and racism proliferates from readers. Time for National Post to turn off comments?
Kudos to Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova for speaking out on this important issue. They have far more scruples than the leaders of pro tennis, golf and other sports.

What’s truly mystifying is why over half of American voters don’t recognize the deep flaws that Donald J. Trump ‘s own cabinet members pointed out.

This is deeply disturbing, but also reminiscent of how Donald J. Trump and supporters have tried to rewrite history of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Come on Tristin Hopper, if you write opinion, label it as opinion. Don’t dress up editorializing as a news story. That’s an insult to us reporters who strive for fairness and balance.
