Tampa attorney Theresa Jean-Pierre Coy marched into
America’s identity wars knowing she risked being called an

Old social media posts have “been an invaluable resource
for showing how histrionic, partisan, arrogant, uneducated,
and ignorant far too many in our political media are. Their
work product shows the results of these traits.And as we all
can see, it’s not pretty,” tweeted Federalist senior editor
Mollie Hemingway on Aug. 25.

Media writer Jack Shafer also tells the Times and its fellows
to toughen up.

“Journalists don’t deserve a get-out-of-bigotry-jail free
card just because they’re journalists,” Mr. Shafer writes in
Politico Magazine. “If their past tweets, however ancient,
undercut their current journalistic work or make them
sound hypocritical, they can’t blame their diminished prestige
on Trump’s allies.”

Mr. Shafer argues that deep scrutiny of the media – and
embarrassing discoveries that ensue – help uphold
professional standards that newsrooms say they esteem.

“Instead of damning its critics for going through its staffs’

Dr. Kalb has heard this argument countless times over his

The Truffle Underground: A Tale of Mystery, Mayhem, and
Manipulation in the Shadowy Market of the World’s Most Expensive
Fungus, by Ryan Jacobs

Read by Ari Fliakos; Random House Audio; seven hours and 50 minutes

Narrator Ari Fliakos has yet to disappoint, and his rendition of

Nostalgic Look Back Harrison Building, 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, c. 1935.
Located on the SE Corner of 57th Street and 5th Ave, this
two story frame building was built sometime in the early
1860s and believed to have been built by William Harrison.

It was used for shop purposes of various kinds. It was
remodeled with a new cement block front in 1936. At the
turn of the century, the old building became the birthplace
of the Pirsch fire engine. The brick part at the rear was
built as a small job foundry in the Civil War days and used

for that purpose through the war. The old foundry was
destroyed by fire December 17, 1932. Photo copyright of

the Kenosha County Historical Society.
