☆ The Fox News Lawsuit and the Public Taste for Lies
  + stars: | 2023-03-07 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Two years ago, on the subject of the public’s disturbing preference for fictionalized “news,” I doubted the legal merits of voting-machine claims against Fox News but suggested the lawsuits nevertheless “represented a healthy impulse to get the evidence before a forum where evidence still matters.”Voila. Fox opinion hosts, at least in the one-sided evidence presented so far, are shown to have been privately scathing about Donald Trump’s election claims even as they gave air-time to Trump allies Fox viewers plainly wanted to hear.
☆ China Remains the World’s Pandemic Risk
  + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Oh, good grief, whether Covid-19 emerged naturally or from a laboratory leak is not “beside the point” as even some scientists now argue. This comes as another U.S. intelligence agency—connected with the national labs run by the Energy Department—has joined the FBI in judging a lab leak to be the most likely source of the outbreak. In fact, Covid’s emergence remains so shrouded in mystery that we can’t know what lessons it teaches until we know the mechanism. But how Covid first infected a human being is probably the single most important question for preventing future pandemics given the difficulty of stopping a new respiratory virus once it’s spreading.

☆ Chinese Spy Balloons and the UFO Obfuscation
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Not many things with significant mass are drifting around tens of thousands of feet up. An unidentified object may be the size of a “small car,” as one pilot report passed along by the Pentagon claims, but it’s not a car. It may look “cylindrical,” as another states, but steel drums aren’t floating in the thin air at 20,000 feet. If it doesn’t have an engine and wings, it’s a balloon, thousands of which have no military purpose. The White House, so far, has been sure only that the objects weren’t alien spacecraft.
☆ Actually, the Press Was Not All Bad on Collusion
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
As this column has noted more than once, Hillary Clinton made good use of Donald Trump’s business history in Russia, his foolish camaraderie with Vladimir Putin, suspicions that he was the Kremlin’s favorite. Likewise, hardly unrealistic were FBI fears of Russian influence given a Trump campaign “full of naive, inexperienced and unvetted individuals,” as I put it in 2017. If an investigation was opened on a thin basis, as we later learned, so what? Such investigations are meant to proceed confidentially. They are presumably dropped without harm to innocents if nothing materializes.
☆ A Balloon Pops D.C.’s Myth Bubble
  + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
For those who couldn’t figure out why I devoted four columns to the Pentagon UFO debate, this is why. It became clear that, whether from serendipity or design, national security agencies were using UFOs to hide something they didn’t want us to see. That something, it has slowly dribbled out since last May, was Chinese surveillance in U.S. airspace. Suspected Chinese drones have been a sometimes daily presence in U.S. military training sites going back perhaps a decade or more. We learn now of multiple balloon incursions too.
☆ Al Gore and the End of Climate Policy
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Al Gore was right about one thing in his rant at the World Economic Forum in Davos: CO2 emissions have continued to climb and show no sign of being affected by “climate policy.”He didn’t mention his own contributions to this outcome, intervening in the early Obama years to turn climate policy into an excuse for protectionist pork barrel, with no real effect on climate. Nor that he was the seminal author of a brand of green hyperventilation that almost guaranteed real climate action would become a polarizing dead letter.
☆ New Hope for Russiagate Truths

☆ John Durham Finds Russiagate’s Rosetta Stone
  + stars: | 2023-01-28 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Throw in a few real names and places to make your inventions believable and people will believe them. This is the method of many a disgraced journalist such as the New York Times ’s Jayson Blair and the Washington Post’s Janet Cooke . It was the method of the Steele dossier fabulists Igor Danchenko and his boss Christopher Steele . It was also the method of the most consequential fabricator of all, whoever dreamed up the presumably fake email exchange between then-Democratic Party chief Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and activist Leonard Benardo of the Open Society Foundation. This imaginary exchange may have made Donald Trump president.
☆ Can Pete Buttigieg Fix the FAA?
  + stars: | 2023-01-26 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Why didn’t Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg rush over and fix Southwest Airlines ’ crew-scheduling snafu? Why didn’t he save the day with his programming skills after outside contractors rummaging around a Federal Aviation Administration computer closet deleted vital software that caused the nation’s air traffic control system to crash? Of course such criticism is unrealistic. We should be asking instead whether we’re glad Mayor Pete is on the job to straighten things out. He has yet to excel at federal spin but we should also be looking for something else: whether he will use the opportunity to move forward a stalled reform agenda that is no mystery to anyone and lacks movement only for want of investment of political capital.
☆ Bring On the Debate About the U.S. Fight for Ukraine
  + stars: | 2023-01-22 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Though the risks to U.S. policy can be exaggerated, with a GOP takeover of the House we’re going to have the debate we haven’t yet had on Ukraine policy. Reportedly Central Intelligence Agency chief William Burns delivered just such a warning to Ukraine’s president in a secret visit a week ago. The risk can be exaggerated because even if a majority of the Republicans don’t favor continued aid, a majority of the House—Democrats plus Republicans—will. But let’s have a debate. The best by far is the strategy the U.S. is pursuing, to support Ukraine to repulse a Russian invasion.

☆ It Would Be Hard for Ukraine to Lose the War to Russia
  + stars: | 2023-01-07 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
World War II revisionist historian Phillips O’Brien has been fighting the good fight lately on Twitter, upholding the thesis of his 2015 magnum opus, “How the War Was Won.” To wit, Russia’s contribution to victory in the world war was relatively minor after all. German weapons and materiel consumed in battle on the eastern front calculate out to a modest fraction of those destroyed or prevented from being created by the Western air and naval war against Germany’s productive capacity. He turns on its head an old belief that allied bombing was ineffective because Nazi production for a time continued to grow in absolute terms. Mr. O’Brien suggests the effect on potential output is what matters. According to Mr. O’Brien’s figures, the lion’s share of resources went to the Luftwaffe and German navy even at the height of the ground campaign in the east.

☆ Elon Musk, Dr. Fauci and the Next Pandemic
  + stars: | 2022-12-16 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
About the last thing America needs is a 9/11-style commission on Covid, as some in Congress are pushing. No giant amount of classified information needs to be examined by an appointed few to help us prepare for next outbreak. On the contrary, unending research and lesson-drawing is already under way world-wide. The next pandemic will bring both similarities and differences from the last one, and it will behoove us to have lots of global research to pick and choose the relevant lessons from. Domestic soul-searching might pay off on the question of political communication.

☆ The Cryptocurrency Adventures of Mark Zuckerberg and SBF
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Back in 2019, Facebook wanted to promote a new digital currency, Libra, to customers around the globe, many of them young people entering the cash economy for the first time through their smartphones. It seemed then a promising innovation and still does now. The proposal sadly landed at a moment when the tech giants were coming under political assault. A spirit of “let’s stop trying new things” was invading both political parties. CEO Mark Zuckerberg quickly retreated when he might have put Libra out there in defiance of the politicians to let a global public decide if it was useful.
☆ The UFO Bubble Goes Pop
  + stars: | 2022-12-02 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Call it the buildup to a letdown, as the latest of the required intelligence reports to Congress on the UFO question undergoes a prolonged and likely angst-filled vetting before being delivered to the relevant committees. Its findings will be surprising only to those who imbibed previous official disinformation on so-called UAP, or unidentified aerial phenomena. The most credible and widely trumpeted sightings by Navy pilots now are explained as illusions. Though Chinese surveillance drones do operate in areas where U.S. training flights occur, these are conventional drones, with no unusual capabilities. They aren’t the uncannily speedy, supernaturally maneuverable objects mentioned in previous accounts.
☆ Climate ‘Reparations’ Are a New Name for Foreign Aid
  + stars: | 2022-11-25 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The word “reparations” was inflammatory, but perhaps the honorary chairman of the recently concluded 27th United Nations climate conference should have been Donald Trump. It was his assessment of the global climate lobby that prevailed: “It’s a money-making industry, OK? It’s a hoax, a lot of it.”The parties to the so-called COP27 did not officially run up the white flag on their project to control earth’s thermostat by 1.5 degrees Celsius, and they never will. But a watershed is upon us. By last Saturday, the focus had shifted from a goal at which the leading nations were clearly failing to one at which they are past masters: distributing foreign aid to advance their political interests and recycle money to domestic constituencies.
☆ Disney Needs ‘Chainsaw’ Bob Iger
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The weekend was an interesting one in the streaming wars. If it’s possible for there to be a run on a chief executive officer the way there can be a run on a bank, that’s what happened to Disney ’s Bob Chapek . Disney brought back his predecessor, Bob Iger , partly to deal with giant losses in streaming. In the New York Times , meanwhile, appeared the longest yet disquisition on the travails of WarnerMedia under previous owner AT&T and new owner Discovery. Though short on analysis and long on narrative, the epic reporting nicely illustrated traditional Hollywood’s flailing inability to cope with a technological revolution in how filmed entertainment is distributed.
☆ Why DeSantis’s Covid Policy Remains Relevant
  + stars: | 2022-11-18 | by ( Holman W. Jenkins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The results wouldn’t be published until a few months after Covid arrived in early 2020, but Columbia University’s Jeffrey Shaman and colleagues produced a study in 2016-18 showing that only 5% of cold-symptom sufferers and 21% of people with flu-like symptoms sought medical attention. Had the data been available in the pandemic’s earliest days, it would have reinforced what should have been everybody’s first assumption after reflecting on their own medical behavior. If most people with mild symptoms weren’t seeing doctors, not only was Covid less deadly than being reported, it was likely already out of the bag globally and unstoppable even in countries where it had yet to be formally identified.
